Yesterday @pats-musings.bsky.social essentially called me a Star Trek geek...
I'm sat here listening to him and his dad talk about model train sets and the guages available and the modern controllers now in use.... but who made the better trains Hornby? Possibly not.. apparently

And I'm the geek

Because she's a little unwell and seems to be super clingy at the moment, we allowed her on the bed.. mistake.. possibly

You know your fella really isn't a Trekkie when he uses 'crash' course and Enterprise D in the same sentence 🙄
The husband has just been giving me a crash course in the "anatomy" of the USS Enterprise - D. Apparently it's important that I make it clear it was the USS Enterprise - D. It was like a lesson from a very enthusiastic history teacher. The grin on his face! 😁

I've hit the jackpot lads🎁...

If you've received a less welcome gift, a reminder that you can gift them to foodbanks at your local supermarket (or homeless charity), collection bins usually at the exits, they are always greatful for your unwanted shower gels and toiletries

Remember last month the crazy people were talking about the end of the world, the apocalypse approaching.. we all laughed.. well we've just been to Marks n Spencer... they were right... clearly the end is nigh.. save yourself run for the hills with an M&S swissroll...

Comedy/Marc Maron fans, I highly recommend 'Are We Good?' If you are able, this is certainly worth a watch

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

so for me.. imperialism, prejudice, cultural divides, growing racial tensions, an elite blaming the powerless for the fallout of their own cultural interference

odd, I had no plans to move to the Americas, but heigh ho...

Sprinkle semolina on your potatoes before roasting,
Don't cut a cross in your sprouts
Brine soak your turkey
Don't be afraid to hand a lazy twat a teatowel and tell them to get cracking

And lastly, family expectations are not your obligations, do what makes you happy this Christmas 🎄

All I did was remind him to flip the cap back on the toothpaste 😳
A point of reflection in this age of increasingly entrenched positioning:

"Avoid hurtful criticism and provocative language. Do not allow the strength of your convictions to betray you into making statements or allegations that are unfair or untrue. Think it possible that you may be mistaken." ☑️

A lovely client greeted me this morning with a big hug and a christmas present, a little kindness and a warm smile is all it took for my emotional week to pour out..

Back home now and feeling much better for it

Never underestimate the value of simply allowing someone to share their woes

You know how it's nice to see certain friends two or three times a year, but you wouldn't necessarily want to see them everyday? their energy and yours just needs a little space to breathe, it's no negative comment on either of you, boundaries are good..

so is the mute button, same difference

As is now usual Maggie was not amused and she made sure everybody knew it.. back home now and on the sofa with a new pain relief prescription... she'll be asleep in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1...
