I just spent the early morning in a garden jacuzzi.
My skin is all pruned, but I am serene, having communed with nature, whilst boiling like a lobster 🦞🔥 🛁

If the government is too timid, I'm quite willing to tell Trump he can fuck off and can keep fucking off until there's no off left to fuck, and then he can fuck off a bit more, on their behalf.
Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.
Trump says he will sue BBC for at least $1bn over Panorama edit
The US president confirmed he intends to sue the broadcaster for at least $1bn over the Panorama edit of a 2021 speech.

Am in Horbling for our annual trip.
To find between arriving this afternoon & going to bed, loft creatures (rats or squirrels) have chewed through the ceiling to create debris and a big hole. I attempted to plug the hole with tissues, only to hear the frantic scurrying of claws.
I've changed rooms.

No matter the quality of the musician(s), I just can't take to country music. I find it tedious, every track sounding the same as the last to me. #c4news

I think there's little more Trump can do to make me hate him more, and then he says, "Hold my beer." Get your horrible orange hands off our beloved institutions. #c4news

I think the edit was bigly righteous (if a bit ethically problematic). I hope the BBC counter sues Trump for saying the UK is a Sharia war zone. #c4news

I've spent the last 90 minutes constructing a self-assembly, freestanding bathroom cabinet. It's a bit wobbly. There's a couple of sections I've put in upside-down. Nevertheless, I'm very pleased with myself, and the cabinet looks good (as long as you treat it VERY gently).

It's always about sexual exploitation.
Money and power, too. But always dirty old men and many, many abused young women.

I stayed in Belem way back when.
It was so humid, I walked one block from my hotel and had to buy a new t-shirt to change into because I'd soaked through the one I'd been wearing. #c4news

I still haven't got broadband a week after moving [no] thanks, Openreach. On the other hand, I was meant to be going to the theatre tonight, which I had no enthusiasm for after epic unpacking trauma. But the performance just got cancelled. Result \o/

I've been cut off from the news since Wednesday (I've been moving to a new home). I didn't even know Prince Paedophile is now just plain Mr Paedophile. #c4news
