So a couple of days ago I saw a massive toy dog abandoned on the street near work. I thought 'I could have some fun with this.'
Hilarity ensued.

Long story short: I posted on FB about rescuing a dog. People thought I was mad enough to take a real-life dog home and give it a bath and blow-dry.

Back in 2018 when
Twitter was fun, I tweeted about a row of shops in Kings Heath. It went stupidly viral and got copied all over the place.

Today I went down Kings Heath High Street again, and alas that magical combo is no more. Specsavers has moved.

RIP, Specs and Drugs and Sausage Rolls.

Wow. Absolutely beautiful stuff from Tasha. Gotta be a 40. #Strictly

2 tens for Montell, yet Pete will probably do better than her in the public vote, because he's a pretty white man. #Strictly

Spike has mastered the art of camouflage!

Enjoyed an ace gig at The Dark Horse in Moseley last night: Desperate Journalist supported by Slime City and Hospital Radio. It's great having so many venues and gigs on my doorstep!

Trying out the 'circle to search' function on my new phone and THIS happened. Oh dear.

75 days #sober now!
Not missing booze at all. Feeling healthier and happier as a result. And people are getting the real me, whether they like it or not!

I'm working as a supply teacher while I build up the celebrant business. I'm in a long-term role, teaching young kids with complex needs including Autism and ADHD.

This morning, a 5-year-old boy took my hand and said "My teacher". My heart melted. ❤️

Right, I don't know if this will work, but this is a link to a lovely post about the first wedding ceremony I conducted this summer, in York Road, Kings Heath. It was a gorgeous street party, full of love and joy. www.instagram.com/p/DChAXyDoBm...

#Strictly voters: are you on glue? Saving Pete but sending Montell into the dance off?!

Still, Chris, Tasha and Sarah are safe so I'm happy. How flipping good was Chris?!

Well I couldn't leave it long without a pic of these two.

The derp in the front is my best boy Spike, who has a permanent blep (tongue out) after having cat flu before being rescued by Kings Heath Cat Club.

Then there's Buffy, my naughty tortie. Very vocal and an expert in 3am zoomies.
