Okeeee. I wonder if this will take more than a year too? Hope my landlord doesn't get any ideas in the meantime.

The UK's system of government in two acts:
"Hey, according to the charter, as Chief Constable, I’m supposed to get a pig every month! And 'two comely lasses of virtue true'."
"Keep the pig. How many broads do I get?"

Bought a new bin for the bathroom because the paint on the old one was bubbling and flaking off, leading to rust. I didn't know what to do w/ it so just dumped it in the kitchen bin. @cdrose.bsky.social: 'It's a mise-en-a-bin!' That's right, we like intellectual foreign-language puns in this house.

'He explained: "I'm an idiot numpty dipshit who thinks hate speech, violence and calls to assassinate the PM, etc. are protected forms of protest, while pensioners decrying genocide and draconian anti-free speech laws by silently holding up signs are terrorists!"' Officially worse than the Tories.

I think I need to send some informal inquiries to Mr Scott. Let's all do that! I'm sure AI can give him a summary of our thoughts.

Hey, I don't feel so bad about misspelling Terence Stamp's name in the alt text of my post yesterday since he is now trending as 'Terrence Stamp'. Anyway here's that beautiful close-up again.

Jeez, I know Sally Walker made up a lot of the stuff in her book, but I didn't realise The Salt Path strained credibility this much. You think giant scorpions and fearsome Krakens might have set off some alarm bells at Penguin.

Happy to confirm that as of Friday afternoon I have official settled status in the UK, which means I can resume publicly and vociferously complaining about this god-awful Labour government. I'm gonna like ALL y'alls' skeets about it too. Oh yeah! Never been so happy to be a settler.

Someone spray-painted a Little My on the wall of our local skatepark and I am way too pleased and excited by this. She is just down there, angrily lurking, waiting to unleash her anarchic schemes. #Moomins @moomindaily.bsky.social

I was going through very old emails in a desperate, futile attempt to find info for the tax man, when I stumbled upon this press release from 2012. Zut alors! I wonder if they honoured Polanski on the same night (prolly still would tbh).
