Went to Chester Cathedral today. Lit a candle and told God I was very cross with Him.

Well. Well. Well.

Amazing how Christian men think about us, isn't it?

It's my 46th birthday tomorrow and it'll be the first one without a birthday card from either parent.

That's a level of poignant I wasn't expecting.

In times of trouble just remember: "nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen"

This guy is fucking nuts. I feel so sorry for the parents of school-age children in Florida.

Late to the party as always but one of the greatest bits of journalism I've read in a while: manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...
Manchester’s chief flag-raiser has put his people smuggling days behind him
Flags protesting unchecked immigration have gone up across the city, led by a man caught smuggling migrants into the country in the back of a van

My dad died a week ago and I have the immeasurable joy of carrying his face round on my head(!!).
I used to hate it but now, it's my pleasure

Forty six lbs down since September 2024.

That's outrageous.

My kid* is home after finishing uni and frankly, it's pretty cool. I've already spent a fortune on protein snacks and drinks and food and there's a list of food requests on the fridge blackboard.......

I think everyone in the UK has gone to bed knowing they won't sleep

I read the phrase "I'm laid back but I can lean forward pretty quick" and I feel that with every cell in my perimenopausal body.

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

I'm 45. I've done parenting, and I'm not parenting adults.
I'm never working in project management ever again. Ever. Bun this.
Sat in a project sign off meeting. It's becoming apparent that stakeholders haven't looked at anything I've written in the one really important workbook that they've had access to since April 2024.
Do I need to hold the hands of grown ass people who get paid more than me?

Back in the UK after a lovely break in Copenhagen. Hate it here already, though it's SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper at home.
June 3, 2025 at 7:31 PM
Not saying Copenhagen is expensive but a BBQ sharing platter is £119.

Learning Danish ahead of going to Copenhagen (yes, I'm aware their English is better than mine so there's no need to learn) and it's genuinely just Deutschy-English with a hefty Scottish accent.
Well, that's how my brain's translating it.
