Also, today I have been a mother for 25 years. Happy birthday @zsut.bsky.social (who I don't think uses this platform)!

Refreshing to see people with actual wrinkles in a L'Oréal ad.
I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

Predator: yah I went to Earth and it was *so* authentic, our guide provided us with traditional weaponry and everything. facing humans armed with nothing but a shoulder cannon and a wristblade was a really spiritual experience.
My working theory is they're a bunch of rich kids on their gap year.

With age, I believe I am becoming a semi-colon phobe. Sadly, I'm also embracing the em-dash.

Cleaning up my office and found the pre-draft of my novel Absolution: Some scribbled-in notebooks and scene frags on the backs of hundreds of discontinued library catalogue cards, which I then sequenced in story order.

Tire blew out on M23. No hard shoulder but shielded by a lovely female lorry driver and rescued by female highway patrol. Now awaiting the AA.

Looking at the state of my hand, I can really see why the roller skating place has you sign waivers. I didn't break a wrist but it's not a happy wrist ...

In wetherspoons (don't ask). Staff member: what's this? Manager: port. Have it with cheese or pair it with WKD Blue for a Cheeky Vimto.

Great and very traditional bonfire night last night, with an epic 20-minute firework show but no fire.

I am Theodora, not Theo, but with four syllables I've given up on policing it.
yes, this. It drives me mad when people don't use my actual name. I'm Kate, not Katie.
I have unfollowed people on social media who have called me Andy. It’s not my name. I am not an Andy. You might as well call me Ronald. Call people by the name they want.
