Observing NYE in a quiet dive bar at 7.30pm with a glass of house red, an Anne Tyler novel and a golden oldies soundtrack. Determined to finally call a truce with myself this year, see if we can work together to make the next 43 years a big ol' trip instead of something I'm just getting through.

Thank you❤️ Boosting the just-a-Thursday signal with some love and sock nibbles from another Arlo (feline variety). The good news is it'll be bedtime at some point and that will be RAD.

Indulging in a cheeky half on an autumnal evening. Tiny disembodied glow-in-the-dark hand deployed for spooky purposes.

Come at me, cosy season. Ugly paws over here ready to do the snug-toed tango.

I think I found the world's power button in the middle of Epping Forest. Hard restart or?

Did I want to drag myself out of bed before dawn to haul ass to the coast for no reason? Not really. Am I stoked about gaining a year today? Also no. But here we are. It's getting sunny and those beaches aren't going to trudge along themselves... Also, as an antique I deserve to browse for some.

Pro tip for other sufferers: My only ever Instagram purchase, these guys are a HUGE help – I have 'mute' ones for sleeping when my neighbours are being assholes, a pair that cuts decibels at loud gigs and these, which allow you to hear ppl talking to you but tamp down those 'triggering' noises.

The bigger one was mended multiple times before firing – head fell off, arm broke, other arm broke – and he was haphazardly repaired with a slightly different colour of slip. So he has discoloured patches and his head now somehow hovers slightly above his shoulder, anchored by his hand. I love him.

For your consideration: while subediting a gift guide I stumbled across this 18" tall, leather-lined, solid silver safe in the shape of a gorilla.
For the giftee who's already set for whisky stones, presumably.

Apart from the 'great art' thing: it me. It's an honour to be played by Michelle Williams.
