The myth, the legend, that is Otis Redding. 19 years old, still ruling to roost and bullying the dogs. He’s become more dependent on our company since Miss Dusty Springfield passed but not sure another litre friend is the answer. Any experiences of older pets who have lost their companion?

Hoping for another display tonight. Got my car goodies ready to take a drive into a dark space 🥰

Took little T to ‘The Night Garden’ live show yesterday. Not sure I’ll ever recover.
1/2 the audience arrived late. Kid behind vomited. Kid beside shat themself. People eating smelly food all around. Got mugged at the merch stand. Little T loved it (although he keeps talking about the smell/noise) 🤢

Today was annual leave and self care day. Self care in this house typically involves hair dye or ink and needles. Today was the latter (although there’s a whole evening ahead).
Massive thanks to Lauren at Brass Buddha in Tranent who always has blown me away with her talent.

Went on a writing retreat this week. Love them for their balance of productivity and restoration.
The wonderful facilitator caught the attendees during their down time ………

Been drinking a lot of this cordial. Bottle said 1:4 with water but I found it a bit weak so pouring a solid 1:3.
Husband tasted it last night & looked like he was going to be sick.
On revision of the instructions it’s actually suppose to be 1:14 cordial:water. My sweet tooth/bad eyes strike again 😂

After 18 fabulous years we have had to say a very sad goodbye to Little Miss Dusty Springfield. 💔

Me and Little T have been growing wild flowers. Started getting the cutest of visitors now. 🥰 🐝

Having myself a wee sing song in the car and my watch started buzzing. Turns out I’m a danger to myself (we always knew this). Thank you Mozart and your Queen of the night aria 😂😂 🎵 🎶

Early birthday/submission gift for me from me and my wonderful husband. Turns out I’ve not completely forgotten everything despite is being over 20 years. Thanks to @trishaelliott.bsky.social for inspiring me. You were right, I have zero regrets just 100% joy. 🪉❤️

Them: “you must have learned so much doing a PhD”
Me: “it’s not over yet but let me present to you a small selection of my top tier procrastination poorly disguised as life changing hobbies”

This should be them in order. I was unwell before I found the rash which is why I took the pictures. These were taken over about 24 hours.

This is me 100%
I’m so grateful for the friends that stick around and put up with my nonsense. In fairness I might forget they exist sometimes but I would fight anyone that tried to hurt them.
One of them sent me this the other day and I am definitely Ernie 😂

Super excited to be listening to this new release today and can’t wait till it tours the UK.
Amazing work Tomas and team. Just phenomenal 🥰

Nothing brightens the timeline more. Poor wee scone. It must be hard for them too.
This is my black cat, Otis Redding, a huge boy but super cuddly.
My friend works for a rescue and says the black cats are least likely to get adopted 😢

I left my house 7 hours ago to go on a train journey that should have been shorter than the 4.5 hour drive I wanted to avoid.
Tired, washed out, & hangry. Not sure my husband is delighted to see this version of me 😂
Thank goodness for a welcoming cup of @yorkshiretea.bsky.social to start to fix me.

Last week I asked my little bestie what colour I should get nails and promised to get whatever he chose.
So, here I am sporting a full set of Spider-Man nails (coz that’s a colour now) 💅🏻

If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to brighten my day it’s the delivery from The York Ghost Merchants. 👻

Took Little T to Bo’ness & Kinnell railway yesterday. They had selfie spots which I pointed out to him.
This was the result 😂
