The last stressful appointment before Christmas was done today. I have a terrible headache, but am looking forward to lunch out tomorrow and gently easing into Christmas (on Black Eyed Friday, I know!).

Chips!

Finally managed a bimble. The marigold is stubbornly blooming outside my front door.

Did a Masterclass writing course in bed yesterday. Opening exercise was to complete the line 'I became a writer because...'

Hello lovelies! I wrote over 51k words, which is basically a novel.

'This year on Bluesky I wrote 548 posts and 1,838 replies. I received 10,276 likes, whereas 851 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "its" and 🤣!'

Well, my neurology referral has been refused twice now by the hospital, so I'm off to see the GP to discuss why. I have my notes all neatly typed and bulleted up for him. Then head therapy straight afterwards. My poor therapist...

About to head to M&S for the big non perishable shop.

Oh gods. It’s going to be pitched battles in the Prosecco aisle.

Coffee Bitch reckons I'm feeling better bc I'm being very demanding, stripped the bed, have done 3 loads of washing (ran out of cotton hankies and my bedding was grim), and actually put clothes on. Progress!

Morning Skyfolk. Hope you’re well and dandy.

Been bedridden by this viral infection for 5 days. My lymph nodes have swollen badly under my chin, like an inflatable tube is in there. BUT finally I feel like I am turning a corner.

Genuinely, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

Morning Skyfolk. Got a grotty head cold and sound like I smoke 40 woodbines a day. Coffee Bitch is performing with excellence under trying circumstances.

It probably sounds a bit cruddy, but I just made myself an academic curriculum for the first quarter of 2026 to occupy my head, and it's really simple but also fun and I'm genuinely looking forward to getting my brain out there.

Also, I wrote a Lost Souls short story that I'm really proud of.

Good morning Skyfolk!
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

A senseless school where we must give
Our lives that we may learn to live!

Lessons that leave no time for prizes

I did the BlueSky annual words thingy, and OMG I've been such a whinging tart this year. Next year, will do better.

I also appear to have 5 large bags of clothes for charity, and yet still the wardrobe/ cupboard overflow. I'm such a charity shop tart (word of the day)! Resolving to be less spendy.
