Drowning in 90s and 00s pop culture. Xennial 🐱 lady. Adopted Manc and Fen escapee.

Occasionally gardening, books, gigs, planes, public transport, journalism, politics, languages, travel, 🏋🏼‍♀️and cooking/baking. Views my own.
A whole year workshopping this: Coldplay, some shite, Big Ben, Bollywood, some other stuff. Anyway, what does New York do? "Off the end; off the Hudson, who knows?!". That's the discussion. No one knows. Too many hours drinking to understand.

Happy new year, bitches.

Cheers, Monzo.

What can I say? It's not a crime for a girl to like a vegan sossij roll and a second hand pair of dungarees, is it now... IS IT, NOW?

A glimpse of what my future holds (I'm not complaining).

If I accidentally answered the door to the PM while in my pants I'd not just wish him on his way. That's why Alan's crush is a whole red flag. Why's she not got some policy questions for him?

Out of shot: the yellow vest top and purple sports bra.

In a world where the gym bros all seemingly wear black, bring a slice of clashing neon to the weights room at the gym.

The Euston Dash is especially Eustony, especially dashy, this evening.
Friday night.
Trains before and after mine were cancelled.
Seven minutes from calling the platform to the doors closing.
Every Manc understands, but we definitely don't need the increased capacity that HS2 would have brought

All in aid of this: catproofing for this adorable wobbly idiot. He's incredibly nosey but he's far too wobbly to ever be allowed out unsupervised (he's got cerebellar hypoplasia; he's not a drunk) but he REALLY wants to explore.

Gardening-related injuries.

What a boring git.

THIS adorable plonker fell head-first into the toilet this morning and got soaked (in water, not piss). How's your day going?

"How did you spend your day off?"

"Ah, the standard 'dealing with a pipe in the ceiling that decided to piss water all over my new kitchen'."

It's never a bank hol weekend in this old house without a plumbing/roofing/electrical emergency.

Wonder which bit will cave in next? Place your bets now.

Electricity is woke now.

I'd never thought of investing in the Lincolnshire tallow and open hearth fire industries but I guess it's a good time now. 🤷🏽‍♀️🕯️🔥

I would be extremely happy if it could stay at this temperature (23 to 28 Celsius), sunny, with minimal rain until October, please. Could even go a touch warmer.

Thanks in advance (even though I know that we will oscillate wildly between 8 degrees and 40 degrees between now and then).

Define "liberal elite".

Because unless we're talking about being elite at log-end darts, climbing chimneys or working in mills then I'm not sure that using a still from a drama about working class Northerners from 100ish years ago is really supporting the T*legraph's mental gymnastics.

Beer from DE. Wine from NZ. All goods from indy shops and workers' co-ops.
Because that's Easter: it's international. And as the teachings of Christ - whether you believe or not - state: "In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you".

That probably makes me - and Him - woke.

Levantine Easter feasting. All homemade: bureka, kofta, chicken with arak and clementines, mujadara, flatbread, focaccia, butternut and tahini dip, beetroot dip, fattoush, tabouleh, spinach with almonds and dates, baba ghanoush, halloumi and baklava.

He is risen (and who wouldn't for this scran).

Not sure how, at 15, I made it through all the gigs without at least 4 pints of lime and soda like I need now. But everyone was skint in the 90s therefore constantly dehydrated. Still alive though, innit, and no kidney injuries to report (even had that checked recently cos old and hypochondriac)

"Mistakes were made".

Gizmo hiding after he decided it would be fun to repeatedly and deliberately annoy my oldest and most patient cat, Tibby, only for Tibby to absolutely wallop him in return.

Had a lot of fun @buffyrevamped.bsky.social last night @thelowry.com. If you're a nerd with a love of the nineties and noughties then this one-man show is a must see. Very silly, very cleverly done, and very funny.

Gizmo acting like he caught the fish for the fish pie.
