Hello! Chef. Leftie. Hammer. Skater. Sussex by the sea. No Terfs/Transphobes please. She/her.

It's not my birthday today 😕

Also not so recently single. Form a queue, lads.
Been trying out tinder. When it comes to red flags I have so many I might as well be the Soviet army.

Those of you straight guys who are on dating apps and in your 50s and 60s, what is with all the gym and motorbike pictures? Do you really think women want to see that?? It's wild.

Show me a picture of you with your dog. Or your cat. Or your teddy bear. That's what women want.

Waiting on a teams meeting that didn't appear to be happening. Sigh.

Monopoly anyone?

Arranged a pick up from Royal mail today. They clearly didn't even look at the instructions as to where the parcel would be! Just messaged to say they couldn't pick up because no one was home?

What's the point of asking for instructions if you can't even read them??

Been to see my son in his flash new flat in King's Cross it has a concierge, a screen room, communal work spaces and a communal games room. It also has this view.

I think he is what is known as a "jammy bastard".

Just had the annual email from the secondary school asking us to please make sure the kids wear coats to school in bad weather.

I had to laugh. I've had this email every year since 2007. It is virtually impossible to get a teenager to wear a coat.

Absolutely but also how on earth is James Watson still alive? (till today). I assumed these folk had all died decades ago.
It’s a good day to look up Rosalind Franklin.

I first saw ET at a friends birthday party in 1982, on a fuzzy pirated black and white video. Never seen it since so I decided to watch it again.

My take aways:

1) less Uranus jokes than I remember

2) if that's what parenting was like in the 80s, I'm surprised we all survived.

Catching up with last night's #Traitors. No spoilers but OMG I just literally gasped out loud!!

This is exactly how I looked when I was in labour with number 3 and the ex decided to faint because he's squeamish and all the medical staff rushed over to him.
incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Did you know Sussex has its own dialect? Once widely spoken, it's mostly gone the way of the dinosaurs.

But we think it's time to bring it back.

We're starting with...Dumbledore! Not a wisened wizard but old Sussex for bumblebee!

I've just found out a friend my age (57) has to have heart surgery in January. This getting older lark isn't fun is it?

Just ordered 6 thermal tops and 5 pairs of knickers from M&S if anyone was wondering how middle aged I was feeling today.

Evening all. We made Christmas cakes today. The kitchen smells amazing. Now just waiting to go and stretch and relax for an hour before I go home.

Sometimes this job isn't totally shit.

Having said that, I think the students were on speed today. They were all manic.

Brilliant as always.
Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!
