Chaz was sat on the bug house at lunchtime so I asked her to deal with the rats that are living under it. She seemed to take this request on board and spent a long while concentrating on it.

Switched the living room back round in anticipation of Holly's arrival. My sofa back by the window to block the view of people/dogs walking past (at least while she gets comfortable) and also the radiator. Bob thinks I'm overthinking things but he forgets we're essentially getting a puppy

I feel like a tree or trees must have gone from this view because Keppel's Column hasn't always been this clearly visible from the back bedroom. Same goes for being able to see the top of the cranes as well! Although that could be because they put up a different model. It's looking cold out there 🥶

Had two conductor-less tram journeys today. Unfortunately for me no bonus as I've got a 5-day pass which I'm supposed to activate before I board. Probably won't bother next time, till I know I definitely need to. Wonder how much this is costing #supertram and #syorksmayor

I should stop buying a pass for the tram and just wait to see if there's a conductor on board or not 🙄

Blimey someone switched the heating off outside! 🥶

Well, in an unexpected plot twist it appears I'M the favourite of #hollythehuskypoo 😊 Although she makes a fuss of Colm who works at the rescue and has given us so much time, and Steve who walks her every day, I suspect *strange* men remind her of her start in life and those who mistreated her.

Was going to go out and get some garden bits to prep for Holly's arrival. But thank you to The Range for doing home delivery 🚚 (especially as unlikely to fit in either car). Can stay in my pyjamas and not move #saturdaywin Busy day tomorrow instead.

On my way to a brunch date with @ohoneonefour.bsky.social and discussing Xmas films in depth with the taxi driver, while listening to the Xmas radio station 😂 To clarify, he LOVES Christmas and Christmas songs.

Bugger. I was meant to be looking after bestie's dog overnight while they're away next month for their son's passing out parade. Plan was to stay over, WFH at theirs. Now of course we're getting Holly. Their dog is old, but reactive with other dogs , and it feels too soon to introduce Holly

A whole year since we said goodbye to #stormthehusky 💔🌈 She was a one-off character, and she was only ever going to be a one-off. We almost made it a whole year without caving in. So, it's official #hollythehuskypoo ❤️ is coming soon...

My brother texted me the link to the Herring/CF live pod and I can hear him eyerolling from here when I explained we were there and I knew about it already 😁 (he's about 15 mins up the road from me)

Another doggy date this afternoon, so on the bus to work and then we're leaving at lunchtime. Bit anxious today cos Bob needs to take a turn on the lead and I'm worried she'll be too much for him now. His grip isn't what it was 😬🤞🏼

Not sure we need the Asda Xmas ad on twice in each ad break on Channel 5 🙄

Here for another doggy date 🥰

Thought it best to email manager with context for my frequent short-notice leave bookings at the moment as he's signing off on holidays while TL is off. He's also a dog person 😊

Not me sending a detailed tweet to National Highways about some upcoming roadworks near us where fixed part-time/temp traffic lights and the stop line for them mean people will miss the temp stop line. Seen it done. #concernedcitizen

Thanks to a complete twat at the pub tonight this overweight middle-aged post-menopausal woman was thrilled to discover she had to squeeze into her car thru the passenger side and slide gracelessly over the gearstick to the driver's side 🤬

Eek! Going to see someone about a dog!
