Friday
A row of dancing ladies in traditional Welsh costume wearing Abraham Lincoln witches hats. They're outside on the grass and they're holding their skirts out a little and doing a little jump.

Storm incoming?
Looking (out from the kitchen window) north-north east at an early morning winter blue sky. The tops of the mountains ahead are hidden under grey, moody looking turd-shaped clouds. On the left the cloud is glowing bright peach. The garden is full of scrap, don't judge. Also, there is a bird poo on the glass.

Watching my dog try to crap in deep powdery snow will be my highlight of 2026
Looking north on a snowy morning. A blue sky with freaky looking clouds and lots of snow on the ground. Looking north-eastish at the mountains. Everything is covered in snow.

A vintage green Dymo label machine. The sort that embossed letters on to sticky opaque plastic. A scene from the Vicar of Dibley. At a wedding in a church, Geraldine is stood while everyone else is seated. She lip syncs to Yvonne Fair's "It Should Have Been Be" while her best friend Alice tries to calm her down

Me: Why do tumble dryers no longer dry duvet covers and instead roll them into an impenetrable bundle of dampness?

Tumble dryer designers:
Jean Michel Jarre looking very serious while sat surrounded by electronic keyboards and synthesisers (are they the same thing?), his arms outstretched in a Jesusy sort of way over 3 keyboards. This is how I thought I looked when I showed my aunties all the demos on my keyboard.

Blue LED fairy lights that flash. Whose idea was that?

Today's Lora aura
The degraded puppet of ET, on his back and looking like Ötzi the Iceman, his eyes unfocused on something off camera. He looks like he smells of Slim Jims. If I survived a plane crash, and he didn't, I'd definitely eat him first.

The first time I saw a camera phone was 2004, and I looked through the tiny lens like it was a viewfinder, nodded my approval, then handed it back to its very attractive owner.

My brain needs to stop gifting me this memory.
A behind the scenes photograph of the little boy from Close Encounters Of the Third Kind. He's looking through the eyepiece of a Panavision film camera while his hand is on the wheel. He looks full of wonder.

What I'm wearing to the Bluesky xmas party:
An old black and white photograph which could be late 1940's or 1980's. A person dressed as an actual cigarette (with black dots for eyes and a smiling mouth) hands a man in a hospital bed a lit cigarette and it looks perfectly normal. However, how did the person in the cigarette costume light the cigarette? That's the real mystery here.

I have questions for those 15 people who didn't find this information helpful
From the IMDB TRON trivia section: "Jeff Bridges produced too much of a bulge in the crotch area in his computer outfit, so he was forced to wear a dance belt to conceal it." Thumbs up 459 Thumbs down 15

Meteorologists:
There's a cold snap on the way

Tabloids:
Is it from the east?

I'll never get bored of this freaky plastic thing
A selfie of me, but I have a piece of magnifying plastic over the lower half of my face making my chin and mouth look humongous, and it's cut out my nose so my face looks like a fish, in a Disney sort of way. I should be doing my accounts.

What she saw was far worse
I'm holding an A4 magnifying plastic sheet in front of my dog's side profile. She's looking ahead. Her head looks huge and her body small I'm holding an A4 magnifying plastic sheet in front of my dog's face. She's turned her head slightly towards me. Her head looks huge and her body small I'm holding an A4 magnifying plastic sheet in front of my dog's face. She's looking directly at me. I'm holding an A4 magnifying plastic sheet in front of my dog's face. She's pretty pissed off at me, or my giant magnified head has freaked her out.

Me, tonight, looking out the window for the aurora, even though we have 100% cloud cover and a 35% chance of storm.
A little blonde girl with blue eyes peers through an open door of a doll house. Her head is larger than the door and she doesn't look happy.

My kid is 18!

MY. KID. IS. 18!

What sort of midlife crisis is en vogue? I need ideas.
Me as a 26 year old (maybe 27) sat on an old leather chair with my chonky baby in my arms/on my lap. We both have the big freeview TV remote, and I also have some sort of Tomy toy in my other hand.

She stole my headphones earlier because I needed to focus on work and now she's in a patronising supergroup
A black dog with a white patch on her front sits between an old sofa and a coffee table. Around her neck are my headphones. She stole them and somehow managed to get them around her neck. She understands the errors of her ways. My left ear is really soggy.

The kids are into cassettes? The.kids.are.into.cassettes!

[Alt. A small cheap cassette recorder that's decorated in gweni stickers and stuff, plays an ELO tape. It sounds a bit warped. A dog barks and presents a ball but is ignored due to her unsanctioned sass]

I thought a green tea with the smaller caffeine content would help appease the cold turkey gods, but my brain's like
Dennis Nedry at his computer desk in Jurassic Park. He's looking smug because he's a tech guy (obvs), and he knows something we don't know. But he did do that little "ah ah ah. You didn't say the magic word" animation, so gotta give him credit for his creativity. Fair do's.

I didn't have a single coffee yesterday and slept like a normie
Ripley in one of the Alien films, or maybe it's Pride and Prejudice because she's wearing an old timey white nightshirt, I don't know, I only like 'Aliens' the second film, sorry. Anyway, she's sleeping peacefully in one of those cryosleep pods. Looks comfy, but i'd get a bit claustrophobic if it were me.

Does this shadow look a bit like a side profile of Tim Curry?
The edge of a cream Welsh dresser and my wall. A lamp illuminates the dresser and casts a shadow on the wall. The top part of the dresser is sort of scalloped and I think the shadow looks like Tim Curry
