I found the Irish Traitors very annoying. It could have been done a lot better.

Meanwhile I've watched the first 2 episodes of the UK Celebrity season and it's perfection.

🦇👻💀 Mel 💀👻🦇 @melbailey.bsky.social · 9h

Somebody decided that he needed to be as close to me as he could.
Meanwhile I'm right on the edge of the bed.

A large tabby cat lying on a bed really close to my legs.

Yeah we do it so they get a wee bit charry. And then wraps are the easiest option, or rice bowls.

That soul-wrung mealtime cry.

🦇👻💀 Mel 💀👻🦇 @melbailey.bsky.social · 4d

When nothing has changed in 103 years 😂😂

(Except all genders are now included, not just women)

Text reads:
Only a woman appreciates the nagging worry of planning and preparing meals day after day. What countless millions have voiced this soul-wrung mealtime cry, "Oh, what shall I cook?" And don't you find that endless planning even worse than the work of preparing?

Woman certainly deserves better than to be sacrificed to that nightmarish horror of pots, pans and plans, which steal away the joy from the whole day, each mealtime.

Do you have an air fryer? Marinated chicken thighs done in the air fryer are one of our go to dinner options now.

I will be having my comfort food/upset stomach dinner tonight: a filet-o-fish and fries.

It's good because it's super bland and the burger is just all one texture.
These are also the reasons why it is not good any other time 😂😂

I started reading the 3rd one (from the library) and then realised I needed to read the others again and thought "ah fuck it" and ordered them through work.

16yo yesterday: do you want the good news or bad news first
Me: give me the bad news
Her: someone in my food tech class is homophobic...
Me: who? Do I need to go down there????
Her: it's fine, it wasn't at anyone & the good news is the teacher is not homophobic.

I do not need to hunt someone down.
