I got a whole pamphlet of instructions for my new bin yesterday.
It was the first thing to go inside it.
I know how to work a fucking bin.

How are your New Year’s resolutions going? Genuine question. We’re over halfway through January now, so this feels like a safe point to check in.
I didn't make any this year, and here is why.

On my first date with my boyfriend a year ago, he told me after a few beers that he really liked women's tummies and laughter lines.
Fat and wrinkly. Smooth boy.
Quite frankly, it's amazing I took him home.

Good morning. I slept 9.5 hours, waking up once for a wee at 5.30 and going back to sleep.
I got a sleep score of 73.

Found this beautiful shirt in the charity shop today. The out of focus AI slop print is exactly what you need to go painting roundabouts!

A year ago tomorrow I went on a quick first date at a Costa coffee.
On the way there, a male labrador pissed on my leg.
I had to run home to get changed and then peg it there, where I met someone very special who makes me very happy.
Thanks to that dog for giving me a good story to tell him.

It's basically the equivalent of sitting through your neighbour's holiday slideshow, I guess. But if you're ever thinking of visiting, it may or may not be handy. And if you're nosy/bored, then why not?!

I have actually muted the words "I asked Chat GPT" because it drives me fucking insane but I'm nothing if not a hypocrite - in two separate chats I asked it to generate me a boyfriend and my boyfriend a girlfriend.
If anyone knows them let me know yeah.

Why is it when you get past a certain age people can't understand having a romantic partner you don't live with? I always have to explain that my BF and I live in separate houses and don't have any plans to live together and we haven't been together a year yet anyway, and people just can't compute.
