Did I take #blackwork #embroidery to my work Christmas party to soothe down the anxiety of a large social event? Yes. Did it work? Yes.

A podcast has just pointed out that everytime John whines about mummy in the #disney animated Robin Hood… he’s referring to Eleanor of Aquitaine. I can never unsee the mental images now 🤣🤣

I know I don’t like Chicago as an org and I’m boycotting Vegas games but the social media clips of wee Bedard making the goalie who must not be named look like a fool on his unfortunate return are giving me joy today.

My Apple #music Replay has dropped. Despite only having found him a few months ago, Yungblud is my most played artist. ‘If He Wanted to He Would’ by Perrie is my most played song by a decent margin - such a bop.

Finally got around to booking my hotel for the Yungblud concert. Though with the Six the Musical announcement today I have a second Sydney trip to plan for next year.

General Tilney has just reminded me deeply of Mrs Elton. 🤣🤣 The self congratulatory expressions of faux humbleness are strikingly alike. #booksky #janeausten #northangerabbey #emma

No cricket today because apparently we only need 2 days to beat England now. But I have #pittsburghpenguins v Seattle on the TV and Ottawa’s #pwhl home opener on the laptop. Motorsport on deck for this afternoon.

So far today I’ve watch the Penguins play a dreadful #icehockey game, an eventful #F1Academy race and now I’ve settled in for some #AshesCricket with some #F1 qualifying up shortly. It’s a sports fan on the couch Saturday at maximum! Might have to throw in women’s hockey on replay tonight.

I’m having full on musculoskeletal shenanigans this week. Lower back spasms Monday/Tuesday then woke with a frozen neck this morning. Thankfully decided to WFH because the rest of my back decided to give up on holding me upright after lunch *sighs*

Feeling very lethargic this weekend - interrupted sleep. But I’ve run, done chores, had a massage, enjoyed hockey and even watched the first bit of the new Frankenstein. I love the book but might take it a bit at a time to cope with a film given how not a horror person I am.
