Challenge of the day: Put California Dreamin' by The Mamas & The Papas on - and then just sing or mime one part only. Lead or backing only.

Dealing with mental health issues throws up the odd curve ball. Which is why I had to pull over the car to have a good cry at the lyrics:
"So I thought that if I piled something good on all this bad
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from Dad."
Fuck life's hard sometimes.

You know that look you sometimes get from your partner when she comes home from a long day at work to find you skanking round the kitchen to a Japanese ska band? Just me then...

Dear Labour & Keir Starmer, thanks advising me that you know better and that my decades of crippling depression, 3 suicide attempts and years of feeling numb on antidepressants and therapy were all pointless because it's all in my head and I was apparently just pulling a fast one.

The BBC have this in the top headlines section of their rolling coverage of Trump's latest tariff debacle.

Quote of the day, two English women near the Porte Cailhau: "Love, your tits are 'out out' this evening aren't they". It's 5:30. I understand why the French have a complicated relationship with English tourists.

I know nobody asked for this but my top tip for a successful dinner party is: Make the pudding something you had as a kid. I recommend Jelly & Ice Cream but Angel Delight or even Bananas in Custard. Guests will laugh, and then devour it, and it will be the thing they remember from it.

I love that Trump is too lazy to come up with his own tariffs. It's his big economic idea and his entire plan is reciprocal trade tariffs, or "copy off the other kids".

Family, partner, mates all forgotten it's my birthday today - so I thought I'd spend the day doing nice little things by myself. An hour in and the motivation has run out. Currently sat on a bench watching the sea trying to justify having left the house.

Sat watching the FA cup and can't help but thinking this match should be a replay at Tottenham except the FA can't be bothered with their own competition anymore.

Judging by the looks I got it appears the people of Bordeaux were really not ready for the sight and sound of me singing along to Layla in traffic. Is a car sing-along not a thing here?

Neighbour just came back from Portugal. Brought bags & bags of tinned fish back with him. Never had anything this good from a tin before, where has this been all my life?

My partner is sick with the flu. So far all I have heard today is requests for tissues, soup and vague threats that if I've drunk the wine we selected for Christmas day by myself she's going to kill me...
I may have to go shopping....

So many creators writing and talking about French wine on here are they all seem to live in Provence. I feel very old school over by Bordeaux.

Starting this with an unpopular opinion. Turns out everyone is horrible... Blue Sky was going to be so much better than Twitter, took less than a month for people to be laughing at someone's murder. Nice one.
