Now into the 11th month of not smoking. I hardly ever think about it. Quitting was a great decision.

Since Trump got that invite to the UK I’ve been mulling over wording for a giant banner I shall put out on my terrace that will be visible from his helicopter ride to Regent’s Park. Something witty, pithy. It’s obvious now, the only thing to write is FUCK U. Assuming he has the balls to show up…

Tech giants told UK online safety laws ‘not up for negotiation’

Day 11 since I #quitsmoking. I’m still not evangelical about it but I did enjoy telling myself that the £100 I spent on my daughter in Uniqlo the other day was no more than what I’d have smoked away in a month.

Day 6 since I #quitsmoking and it’s not been as bad as I feared. Others happier for me than I can muster. It just seems joyless. I will keep going though.

🥳

#christmascats #cats Blossom on Santa watch

Merry Christmas! All I can hear in Camden Town right now is birds.

Shout out to everyone who just ate a cookie and half a carrot followed by some kind of chaser.

Without searching can you name all nine of Santa’s reindeer? First question I asked in today’s office quiz.

Have had the flu since Monday. Bored of feeling so tired and lacking in appetite. Need inspiration for something to eat. I live in a non-Thanksgiving country so no turkey suggestions please.

As Christmas season has arrived on the radio. Which Christmas songs do you most love to hear? For me, it’s Fairytale of New York and Driving Home for Christmas.

So was Vance a surrogate for Musk’s Vice presidency all along?

So many #CatsofBluesky. Almost an army’s worth. One that could be deployed to defeat and humiliate mighty enemies. Just look at their photos, evil geniuses all. Some clear generals among them. Will your #Cat enlist in the resistance? What special talents can they offer. #FelineResistance
