This is an awful lot of pre-summer before actual summer. It’s making me worry what actual summer will be like. It’ll either be far too much actual summer, or not much actual summer at all.

Read a line in my book today that described a woman as having a “formidable bosom” and I’ve never related to a character more!
(FYI: Formidable - adjective: inspiring fear or respect through being impressively large, powerful, intense, or capable.)
Beware! Fear my intense and capable bosom!

Just had a bumble bee stuck at my bedroom window. I gently explained that the open window is just 6 inches away - s/he didn’t understand so I had to ‘herd’ it with a piece of paper. I am a bee herder!

I asked my mum the other day what I was like as a baby. She replied “you only cried when you were tired, hungry, or wanted a story”. So yeah, nothing’s changed!

One of the worst things about getting older is when you feel hungover, but without the fun and buzz of drinking alcohol beforehand. I mean what, in the actual living fuck, is that all about?

Advice needed: How do I convince my idiot colleagues (uk) that Trump, Musk, Farage, the far right, and all other hate-mongers are wrong, only interested in personal power and private wealth, and are in fact, fucking dangerous. They just don’t get it & I feel like I’m fighting against the tide. Help!

Reading my book in a coffee shop today, and in one sentence my brain kept coming up with song lyrics for nearly each word. Does this happen to anyone else?

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show.
But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.
