Couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining fact check of nature’s wonders 😁😉
Ärgerlich ist das alles schon, aber wenn man am langen Ende heimkommt und nicht, wie du sagst, aufm Hinweg strandet und das Spiel versäumt, kann man zumindest friedlich bleiben 😇 Am WE dann wieder zuhause 🖤🤍💚
Have just gone through your train journey thread and I am dead impressed with your ability to remain patient and calm. (Not that turning into The Hulk would help the situation, but who could fault you for it 🤪…)
Grateful to have spent it with family, grateful for some laughs and for the unfathomable kindness of a friend, grateful also for the safety in which the tears could fall.
Bless your heart, G. ❤️⚓️ We all love & miss you so much it hurts.
I still on occasion and horrifyingly so fail to remember that if I gave you a bell, you’d never answer again. There’s always too many candles to light throughout the year, but having one lit for you is unbearably painful.
Miss you, love you, wish you were still here. 🤍 ⚓️
performances were as good as that and life has been one long disappointment.” She laughed. I meant every word. From Gaslight (aged 17) to Mame, Gypsy and The Manchurian Candidate there was a hell of a lot more to her than solving 274 murders as Jessica Fletcher. She would have been 100 today. RIP
Introduced to Angela Lansbury after the 2011 Olivier Awards, I said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you: you ruined my life.” She blinked. “When I was 15,” I continued, “I went to see you in Gypsy and was flabbergasted. And I assumed that all musicals were as thrilling as that, and that all leading 1/2

Driving to work yesterday evening, some headlight flashing lowlife thought we could kill ourselves and each other for the thrill of speed and then an absolute nightmare of a driver came towards me in a narrow one way street and swerved dramatically.
came back to throw more passive-aggressive rubbish at me. Hot tip: don’t go around insulting folks you claim to think highly of. We are not 5, you‘re a tosser and also what the actual flaming heck?
Think I‘ll go back on holiday, ta. Possibly to the outskirts of Pluto. #StillAPlanet! ;-) 3/3

Back to work after 2 weeks off: got yelled at by a grown man with a little ouchie because I didn’t care - Correction: we can’t help because you need to be elsewhere for that.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?
Word of the Day is ‘tandsmør’, from Danish. It describes bread that is buttered so thickly you can see tooth marks in it after every bite. Its literal translation? ‘Tooth butter’.
