Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

Just twigged (I'm really tired, ok?) that the hospital have sent me home with:
a) powerful pain relief (likely to bung me up)
b) antibiotics (likely to...have the opposite effect)
so - will I stop, or will I go? 😟

Typical tech bros, they could have saved so much time, money, precious metals and energy if they'd just asked a passer by to kick them in the nuts instead.

I got blue-lighted to hospital on Boxing Day🙁- there are some bad infections out there, so please take care! The staff were all lovely & cheery (despite rozzers being needed twice due to people kicking off). Am home now, rather delicate with loads of meds.

Yup, it sure is Christmas! The cats have had mega-zoomies (fuelled by treats), and one of them (Eliza) has been sick.
Me? Woke up feeling tired & snotty & with a sore throat. Quelle surprise!
Hope you all have the best possible day. Be kind to each other x

It's Christmas once more – does that fill you with dread?
The work that is needed, the folks to be fed?
Are you wanting to party or hide in the shed?
Will you visit the in-laws or wish them all dead?
Whatever you’re feeling, be your mood dark or light
I hope & I pray that it’s not total shite

It is lashing down outside. I have 5 bored cats having the zoomies indoors as a result. Furniture has all been shoved precariously to the other end of the room to make space for the new delivery today. I am tired and stressed, they are excited by their new play set-up. What could possibly go wrong?

I can't knit - I just can't. Never have, never will. Crochet: that's different. My mum taught me how to do granny squares, & I can almost do them in my sleep. 😊 Now trying Tunisian crochet, a kind of crochet/knitting mash-up, with long hooks like knitting needles. I think I like it!

In the run-up to Christmas Day, the supermarket delivery slot is booked, & I have a back-up plan for when they fail to bring something vital. I'm compiling The List of Yumminess for what the cats & I want. I have books & DVDs to last until Spring. When did I get so flippin' organised? WHO AM I?

Sad face time. That moment when the item you've been waiting for finally arrives - you open the box, & after a nanosecond of joy cos it's just what you wanted...
you realise that it's broken 😞

One of my cats (Esme) growls loudly whenever a Sainsbury's or Amazon delivery driver approaches the house. Evri & Royal Mail are acceptable, it seems, as are guests & other callers. I wish she could explain her reasoning to me...

Why do I get the feeling that there is still so much more to emerge regarding Andrew?

Business was good, but the driver's a dick...🎶

Friends, it's time to confess: I am bishedual, but it's not enough. Yeah, I've got a shed to store the lawn mower etc, another for the horticultural/potting stuff. And a greenhouse. But I want more. Heed my words: whatever size shed/greenhouse you want, go bigger. Much bigger. You know you want to..

When windy place your best ear to the bark of an oak tree, and with a hand stop all noise entering the other ear
When you get used to the embarrassment from the looks of passers by, you can concentrate on listening THROUGH the tree to the trunk & branches working with the wind

AI is like that time I woke up and found a U2 album I didn't ask for on my iPod.
I don't want it. I didn't ask for it. Leave me alone.
