This year's glove repairs have begun, and will be yellow! Winter one was purple, winter two was green (and I met a very good pupper who wasn't trained not to chew gloves yet).

I am rewatching the menu. I used to be a line cook. Anyone who hasn't tried to kill an asshole customer (slowly) with butter and/or salt is lying. Even as a pizza chef. Enjoy your extra cheese and lifetime of statins. Cunt.

This is my doodle fridge and I love my doodle fridge. It's largely symmetrical, doodles are small, and erasing is not an option. A collaborative work, with my partner, done while waiting for things to cook. What does it mean? It means art is important, even if it's shit and on a fridge.

@joznorris.bsky.social Any idea if and when the recording of Blink will be released? The brief mention in the salad tapes made me remember how much I want to see that show again! (I will be telling my friends who live in sensible places to see your current. I do not live in a sensible place.)

The handle to my fridge broke a couple of days ago. I fixed it with superglue, but there's residue and it's bound to break again. A new one is £34.95 plus postage, with reviews like 'I've bought four in two years, they just keep breaking!'.

Tried to buy one of those supermarket basil plants today, which involved walking 7 miles and checking every supermarket. Failed.

Strawberry and basil is so good together, I'm annoyed no-one told me sooner.

Got myself a grown up lego set yesterday and spent pretty much all day making it. He's called Fucker, after the Eels song of the same name which mentions a little black cat.
I have saved Spunky for potential use on a future real cat.

Who can get both their cats to eat worming tablets first time with absolutely no fuss at all? This bitch! Bwahahaa!
... Seriously, if you knew the stress and cost of trying to get spot on stuff on them when they were first adopted, you'd understand.

We've made it to the loitering at the airport stage of the holiday. I am sad to be going home, but utterly exhausted both physically and mentally. I desperately want to sit on a comfortable chair, touching absolutely no-one.

Well, last night I had my first show I didn't enjoy, which is a shame but this morning I've looked at a photo my cat sitter sent of Epi sitting with dreamies in front of her looking really pissed off. Cheered me right up. (She is fussy, she only eats certain brands of freeze dried chicken as treats)

I've done well in eating some vegetables every damn day. Just ate a family sized salad with some hummus and bread and feel all the better for it. My secret? POCKET SPORK!

If you want to know things like the shows I saw and what they're about, probably see what Chris is doing. He's actually documenting this properly. In limerick form, because.... Erm?!

I'm not really a very good reviewer
A critic is substantially crueler
Than I like to be
So I guess we shall see
How I fare with this Limerick ouvre

I have survived? Enjoyed! six shows while being mildly drunk all day. Back 'home' for a nightcap, a second nightcap and a reminder to drink some bloody electrolytes in the morning. Hey future Katie? I love you, look after yourself. Xx

Bringing the 'Monday at the Fringe' vibes by having a drink before we head out for a midday wip. Tomorrow is a rest-ish day when we're home til 4pm, so it just makes the most sense to be mildly drunk all day today.

Out til 2am last night, still awake before 7am. I don't even need to be up before 8.30. And that wouldn't exactly be a lie in. Thank god for coffee.

Pre-holiday panic cleaning is almost complete. Tomorrow I must hang laundry, final hoover, and that's about it. Then away!
I dunno why I bother, the cat sitter sees the usual state of the house when picking up the keys.

It's Friday, I have pizza made, I have wine open! Only one more Friday til I head to Edinburgh and try to cram in 30 shows in 5 nights and not have a breakdown. The Fringe excitement all over my social media is palpable.

I have spent 4 days redecorating the bedroom. I no longer have four layers of wallpaper (with a creepy Disney mural behind it) on my wardrobe wall, I have a black wall, as one would want. Consequently, full of wine. I deserve it.

Hey, do you know about my Instagram 'art project' I've been running for almost 10 years where I exclusively post money I've spotted on the floor?
If not. www.instagram.com/mandolele314
If you like pennies, and the very occasional note, it's the Instagram feed for you.

Wow, the edfringe site which only exists to sell tickets is really struggling to sell tickets this evening.

Well, Belfast Airport doesn't have a smoking area airside anymore, the flight was delayed, then the train was delayed. I have necked a bottle of wine and sent Chris to fetch me vegan sushi, for I must attend two (2) comedy shows and have no spoons left.

I am going away for two nights this weekend. I have a packing list and my bag started already. I am travelling to areas of England I'm very familiar with that definitely have shops to purchase anything I forget. I don't know how or why I became like this.

I have been trying to renew my disabled smartpass (NI railcard/bus pass thing that gives a tiny discount) since February, but they've struggled to get a form to my address. One has finally arrived. The only details it wants I had to say to them via email/phone multiple times to get this form.
