More blood tests, more compliments on my juicy, generous veins. Put it on my gravestone: “She bled beautifully.”

Shame on us both.

I fell for the Connections trick today YET AGAIN. I’m like Charlie Brown with that football.

Do you like them because they’re your name backwards?

Oh my god, ABSOLUTELY. In fact I now think I may also be having crumble and custard later.

Hahaha! I hope you do. We all deserve hot cross buns in these trying times.

Ugh, that stinks. Hope it’s sorted smartish.

And no one had to chase after you in the street shouting ‘co-op member!’ ?

(I can’t give further details re: the notation as I don’t read music, sorry!)

Alt text: a billboard on the side of a building at the top of a street, in the last of the afternoon sun. A woman in red and pink trousers is walking past it, a red and white NO ENTRY sign is beside it. The billboard has an old black and white photo of Wham! and the words THANK GOD FOR IMMIGRANTS.

Oh the original is one of my all-time favourites!

RIP James Van Der Beek, whose greatest role was, of course, himself. Not for him the cheeky cameo: on Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23" the man turned self-ridicule into a full-time occupation, and did so magnificently.

Aha! Welcome back.

Ahhh, Dawson.
