I have twenty five discs with the contents of my IPod classic saved I’m on them. I’ve never needed them in fifteen years so I’m safe to get rid aren’t I?

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Wicked for Good was lovely to look at but too long. Some of the songs were a bit meh as well.Also, the way the way they incorporated Tin Man, Lion and particularly the scarecrow made absolutely no sense.

I’m going to see “Wicked:For Good” this evening. Looking forward to seeing my friend and catching up.

My dad had a cardiac review booked this afternoon which was arranged after much pestering the GP. I was just leaving to collect him when the surgery rang to cancel because of the weather. How pathetic.

I’ve put the heating on. It was 13 degrees C in my old house. Also just taken delivery of a new winter duvet. I loathe the winter

I dragged myself to the gym to do some semblance of exercise and there was a woman with three tiny children getting them ready for swimming. Thank God my days of having to do that are behind me. The youngest child was singing “ I like to move it, move it” at the top of her voice🤣.

A lovely chap just picked up about eighty DVDs from me, for free. I could not sell them even for a token tenner. He turned up on time so that’s something. I used to buy DVDs when doing my Sainsburys shop. Can’t remember the last time I watched one. #decluttering

Finished watching “All Her Fault” on Sky Atlantic. It was at least two episodes too long. Dakota Fanning is a fabulous actor but she had no rapport with the child playing her son

Decluttering again. Children’s soft toys are a stumbling block for me because I gave them all personalities and voices.
Teletubbies. Should I get rid? I mean my son is twenty seven now!

My son’s fiancée is Christmas crazy. They bought a pre-it Christmas tree, plugged it in to test it and now it’s staying up. I bought her this little fellow and he’s now on display

What a 💩 day at work. Outlook has given up so I have logged off early. Should probably drag myself out for a walk.

I’m watching #RHOSLC. Bronwyn “ isn’t ready to be done with” her grouchy gazillionaire husband. Before they were together she couldn’t pay her rent and now she has everything she could ever dream of, materially anyway. Shame about her elderly, miserable spouse.

My dad had a heart attack 2.5years ago and there’s been no follow up whatsoever apart from an occasional phone call from a nurse. He needs to have his blood pressure taken so I asked the surgery if the district nurse could come and do that as my dad can’t leave my mum and is terribly frail…

I’ve been in a strange mood today. I woke with a migraine and my meds have made me jittery. I should have settled down with a book but I’ve started lots of jobs around the house but achieved nothing. Did go and do my parents laundry though. I had. no luck in persuading my mum to let me wash her hair

I’ve read the book that this series was based on. Just started watching. I like Dakota Fanning in anything, she’s got such a vulnerability about her.
I have to say a couple of the characters in this adaptation are massively annoying. #AllHerFault.

I can order up to three free things a day from Amazon in exchange for a review. I ordered some bamboo baby grows for a friend’s grandchild ( I bought a gift as well, in case you’re thinking what a cheapskate) they are so soft, I wish they made an adult version.
