Doing things from love, not for love
I am totally fine with cannibalism as long as it refers to garments. So these two dresses with a design a lady of my age really should not be wearing anymore are about to become a new shirt in the prettiest shades of blue. 20 years ago blue really was more beautiful than ever before or since 🧵

It's a rainy Sunday. Best thing to do: watch a very novice equestrian forms strong bond with problem horse and saves him and the rest of the world from a horrible fate type of film. With a packet of jaffa cakes and my lovely new teapot within arm's reach ☕

Picking blueberries for breakfast on my balcony. There's 3 times the amount I need, and more berries that will be ready tomorrow.

I should get a freezer.

Am in bed with flu. And the footage of a female and a coloured lackey greeting the dreadful tangerine upon his arrival at the Royal Palace for NATO supper instantly made me feel better.

If there really is such a thing as a British summer maybe now is a good time to abandon the idea of bringing jeans and cotton tops and pack linen and merino garments instead 🥵

Ticket is ready, woooo!
Booked seat for return flight

All the signs are there. This is happening. I should probably make a list of things I need to pack.

My application for an ETA was turned down because the requested photo of me was too similar to the photo on my passport.
So I sent in my ugliest selfie. Which was approved. Warms my heart that the United Kingdom welcomes me as I am 😂

Watching Queen of Fucking Everything and there is no doubt in my mind that it is one of the weirdest drama series I have ever seen. And also one of the funniest. Love Finnish humor.

The difference between deceased and dead is that the deceased are still remembered. Of course I think of him every day. Today would've been his 26th birthday. And this is what he looked like eating hay 💜

What a difference a few inches can make. As a dress it made me look fat and old. As a blouse it makes me look fabulotastic. Photo might follow. For now, imagine vertical purple stripes with me in it.

I don't watch TM on youtube so I didn't notice until now. But does anyone know why they've gone with season instead of series 19?

My one remaining cat dragged... something... into the house from her morning prowl. Her most common prey is mice. This catch looked different though.

And now I am afraid to walk around or take a shower just in case she hid it somewhere in the bathroom. It was probably a chicken nugget. But still.

I will never hate a creature for being what it was intended to be. But my attitude towards cockchafers bears all the hallmarks of a very strong dislike.

Daisy chains are what you make for your loved ones. Two by two the little flowers thread through the stalks of the two previous ones. Most of the time in the same direction. Sometimes they think differently. Just like him and me. My bestest boy and friend of 19 years.

So apparently we live in a world where it is normal to buy theatre tickets 14 months in advance.

Okay. It's a very not me thing to do but I'm here to expand my comfort zone. Or cross over to the dark side, I'm not sure what I've just done.

I have a ticket for the show. Flights and accomodation have been booked. I've applied for an ETA. It's basically small things I need to sort out now, like a plug adapter and those earrings I saw the other day.

But I might not go. Juju hasn't been well. And I love him so much more than Greg.

Good morning.
And good Friday.

Never had my nan down as someone with expensive taste. Until today. I was looking for a teapot to complement the cups and saucers I enherited from her.

EUR 131,90 😵
For a teapot 😵

Converting the sleeves of a shirt from straight to puff as it suits my body shape better. And I was NOT ready to learn the circumference of my upper arm.
April 5, 2025 at 3:21 PM
I just had to confirm a booking by uploading a photo of my passport as well as a selfie. Is this the new normal?

How did I not see this until now.

TM s1e2 what's in the pie task.

"It's not just pie they put in those, you know."

Did chakra yoga, mopped the floor (worst chore ever), sewed elastic into a bra, dragged home cat litter and cleaned the toilet I'd been sick in (sorry). Now waiting for my healthy meal to cook.

Feeling uncharacteristically pleased with myself, and hoping to be back to normal by tomorrow!

He's a smart cat he is.
The stages in MAGA responding to a negative story:
1: It's all lies
2: Most of it is lies
3: Some of it's true, but it doesn't matter
4. It's all true, but it's fine when we do it
5. F**k you
