Sanity has prevailed. Congratulations to this worthy winner, and may this news drive a certain malignant narcissist to move to another planet.

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

People will always show you how they feel about you, no matter what words they say. If they wanted to be around you, they would. This is why I am so grateful for my family. They have to love me and put up with me. 🤣

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Thanks so much. Luckily it's a mild strain.

I've just cancelled my flu jab for tomorrow because I've got Covid. 😕 Fully intend to stay in bed. I hope you feel better soon. 🫂💐

Some of the simplest songs are the most beautiful and timeless (excuse the pun). ❤️💔

Risky singles are horrifyingly stupid sometimes.

I love that Manx is included. 🥰

Also, you've got a two-for-one, in that it's "koffie" in Afrikaans as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy International Coffee Day! A German word that describes a coffee substitute, usually made from barley malt, is Muckefuck. It essentially means "rotting wood mulch" and can also describe any weak coffee. So next time someone makes you a bad coffee feel free to say "What the Muckefuck is this?"

Who needs a hot water bottle when you have a 30kg Lab to prepare your bed temperature to perfection. ❤️

Lee 🦋 @leegallyred.bsky.social · 11d

Thank you so much for these words, and for understanding. I feel stupid talking about this so often, but it's just so hard. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. ❤️

There are so many awful things about losing your spouse, but one of the worst is having recurring vivid dreams that it was all a big mistake and that they are still alive. And then you have to wake up from that and realise all over again that they are gone. My heart is so broken, it won't ever heal.

Watching all these TikTok videos of people opening their #LeCreuset mystery boxes has me riddled with envy. 😭
