Fabulous :)
A few minutes before I was outside the house, I was at the gates of Strawberry Field. No-one was around, the sky was overcast and it all felt a bit mysterious, like the song

I think if the Faithfuls just follow the trail of sweat, they'll find one of the Traitors.

(What I also found bizarre to imagine was that my partner's auntie *had* been in that house, during Actual Beatle Time, and had tea. Not with Aunt Mimi, it was some other relative. She did all the Beatle houses as a teenager!)

I've never been inside this house, but i've stood outside it & marvelled at being so near the porch where John & Paul would sometimes practice songs. And how, in that small room above the porch, the song Please Please Me first came into being and then expanded from that point to cover the world.

Colin Baker's outfit would possibly be a nightmare to put together but would be amazing! Failing that, Matt Smith or Jodie Whittaker's would work well :)

This is all very familiar. Sometimes I worry that I'm masking even with loved ones and that I then have to keep that up. What if they don't actually really know me? Gosh, it's exhausting.

I thought I would do a thread to reply to the below pal because there is a lot to consider about being autistic and feeling comfortable with people. It’s something I have thought a lot about recently 💘🧵

Tell me more. I'm curious what it's like. Do you mean like you feel like you can't be weird around people?

(Weird isn't being used negatively here)

I've never listened to it either, but suddenly seeing a picture of it has taken me right back to the days of Britannia Music Club leaflets falling out of magazines in the 90s.

What I've mainly learned from The Traitors is that, along with wanting Reece Shearsmith's coat from Taskmaster, I also want Celia Imrie's coat.

A drawing of a football game, I think fairly accurate.

Ink drawing with pencil colours. Five footballers, all in the same colours - teal shorts and yellow long sleeve tops. And their skin is yellow and they all have the same short, neat, white, side-parted hair. Two are stood on the ground in weirdly athletic poses, while three players are in the air, leaping wildly. All five are very close together. Four orange footballs are in play, all at various points in the air.

Ink drawing with pencil colours, on green paper. In the back ground is a sign, high up on thin sticks. It says:

LEMUR TOWN
population: lemurs

Under this, and in the foreground are two lemurs, not all that realistically drawn. Their tails are like black and white candy canes. One of them has three back legs. On the left, creeping in from the edge of the paper, is the leg of a third lemur, otherwise unseen.

Illustration of a woman from the shoulders up, with black hair piled up in three sections, like those of a snowman's body. Her eyes are shut and she holds up a large glass of wine. Everything about her is shaded in black and white except her necklace, which is made of small spheres all red, yellow and blue. A crowd is gathered behind her, rendered in simple red, blue and yellow outlines. Underneath, her thoughts:
I put
So
Much
Poison
In the baked flamingo.
One last dance,
Then I'd best be off.

Stone tiger head collection

Ink drawing with grey pencil colours. Six statues of tiger heads are sat in a pile. They aren't exactly realistic. In fact, they are absolutely huge, as shown by the fact a person is stood atop the pipe and is very tiny, in black silhouette. (One of the tiger heads is actually not much bigger than a dot, but the rest are huge). The man addresses us and says, via a world bubble above him,
"I inherited my grandfather's stone tiger head collection. In fact, at his request, I inherited them thirty seconds before his death, so he could see my reaction and then go before I had chance to moan about them."

When you say "someone"... I mean, I'm assuming it was his wife.

Found a few people I would consider as friends even if I haven't met them, did an album cover, briefly met Bob Mortimer and I've been able to send my paintings all over the world (not *loads* of them, but enough :))
