I presume the 'Andrew, formerly known as Prince' gags have already begun?
How about 'persona non garter'?
I hope that Mr Mountbatten Windsor has been despatched to a different Sandringham Estate: a crumbling tower block full of squatting djs, their 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧s echoing like the tell - tale heart.

Although, points off for it not making any sense. I don't mean in a "ooh fuck, that's not possible" way, just in the regular way.
I mean, whatever it is, it can do crafts, it can't be *that* evil. Also corporeal because you'd need hands for that.
Answers on a wooly hat to the usual address.

Tis the season, I've just rewatched The Blair Witch Project for the first time in years.
I thought it was crap the first time but it is creepier than I remember. But I did have a laugh at Heather's sort of anti-Oscar speech: "I'd like to apologise to Josh's Mom, and Mike's mom. And my mom..."

Excellent poster on Liberty Hall this evening.

At training today hosted by the Bar of Ireland - I never realised the Ashling Hotel has a plaque noting the whole 7 months that Wittgenstein lived and worked in that building.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PRACTICE YOUR 1970S DISCO STRUT ON THE MILITARY FIRING RANGE.

A sign - in Dorset - that says 'MILITARY FIRING RANGE', with a red line struck through somebody in big-heeled shoes who looks like he might be in a 1976 episode of the TV show Soul Train. In the distance, if you look hard, you can just make out a hat that I have dropped.

She actually hates getting her nails clipped and gets shaky but never snappy. In fairness that was because a nurse hurt her quite badly and made her bleed a lot, so not that unexpected!
I didn't like that nurse either (I worked with her). Fortunately she didn't ever do my nails 🤣

😍 She loves everyone*, she's such a little love grenade. She's had some awful medical stuff done early in life but she loves the vet and never freaks out. Maybe it's because I worked there so it's not a strange place, but I think it's mostly her.

She does not like men, young or old, in hats.

Well, a woman who sleeps wherever she damn pleases. She's learned bad things from Glinda, who is now sleeping - inconveniently - on top of the laundry basket. Letty wouldn't fit there, but I'm betting she's tried at least once.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 3d

She really is, she's so great at the vets. She's even sleeping in her memory foam bed now. Her wrecked puppy bed (the one she gets gloomy about when I take it away for a couple of hours to wash it) is in the bed under my desk.
But who am I kidding? She mostly sleeps on the art deco sofa and armchair

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 3d

Her bloods are fine, just a pre-winter pain relief check up.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 3d

Letty is happy to be back home after being happy to be in the car after being happy to be at the vets - where she saw her auntie Sinead. She hadn't seen her since she was a pup but ran to her and rolled over for belly rubs.
She happily displayed her neck for bloods and then had a boat load of treats

Who the fuck is Harry Skies?

Shit hotel wall art reading "she walks in beauty like the night of cloudless climes and Harry Skies"

Presumably it's more romantic in the original German?

Good to know that if you ever needed to get Sobek the Egyptian crocodile god a present you could spring for some airpods

I was looking up the Cliff Richard Wuthering Heights and found some clips. I laughed so hard I cried and have not stopped laughing. A clip. I really tried not to laugh. The boat remains a mystery.

Ohhhhhmygod, I can't breathe.
Thanks for that!

Please support a women's intimate partner support organisation if you can. There are so many fires raging in silence and supporting these organisations help these women not to just escape, but live the lives they were meant to live.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 4d

This week I was privileged and very grateful to meet several women who lived in, and with, appalling violence and trauma.
These women truly endured the fire and reforged themselves, and now help others.
I've never met
@rachelhewitt.bsky.social
but I'm grateful to her, too.

I haven't seen Mulholland Drive for about 20 years. It really is a masterpiece and good as Memento was (is/will be) Memento is Telly Tubbies by comparison.
Also, this scene at the end - maybe it's because I'm older now, it's just so sad. Literally, I felt like a tenor bell that had been struck.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 7d

I really wish I had gone for it with the social policy section. Maybe next time.
