Joanne will never run out of money because people keep buying her stuff, and so this will keep happening. SLAPP after SLAPP until trans people are completely drummed out of public existence and nobody will do a thing about it

Tonight’s double bill at the cinema - both were funny, touching, and all around excellent.

Think I’ve actually given myself a bit of a headache trying to wrap my brain around the monthly banking. My brain isn’t made for such things. Even though I do it every month I just can’t get a hang of it.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

I’m with Anton, I want this Instant Dance chaos every week! Not laughed that hard in ages - mostly at Nikita’s outfit but the stuff back stage of them scrambling to get into their outfits was also hilarious #Strictly

Was gonna go and (finally) see The Running Man but I got out of work late and missed the showing. Instead I’m gonna go to the supermarket to get the essentials and then head home and hopefully have a nap before Strictly’s on.

Love how the gang have set up a network of spreading secret info via a radio show that Robin & Steve are running. Though how they dug all those tunnels in 3 months is impressive.
Poor Dustin.
Love the shot at the end of El & Nancy going to save the day.

Done all the below except pay for our xmas lunch as we went out for brunch instead (I’ll pay that tomorrow) and I haven’t started Stranger Things yet. I’ve also hoovered and mopped the house so it’s been a busy day really and it’s only 4pm.
Plans for today:
- take mum to the opticians to pick up her new glasses
- do washing
- tidy up the house
- go out for a pub lunch & pay for our Christmas dinner at said pub
- pick up mum’s prescription
- make a start on Stranger Things S5
- take mum to the opticians to pick up her new glasses

Today was the first time since I moved in with her that I had a bit of a cry in frustration over mum & her Alzheimer’s. First time in 4.5 months is pretty good going really.

As a friend works there I got to go to the preview night for the botanic lights which was lovely. Perfect weather for it too as it was dry and pretty mild.

Saw #WickedForGood & I left the cinema feeling like I did after seeing Part One - it’s fine. I saw the musical 10+ years ago & even then I don’t think the story blew me away or anything so it’s not a surprise that the films didn’t either. Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande are both still excellent though
