Alive, but mostly kicking 🌀
The nicest thing about being back on English soil is the reunion with the curt ‘sorry’ as an insult.

Just spent 8 days widely masking that I am in agonising physical pain, so may a deity of their choice protect my seat neighbour from my pending menty b on this flight.

Now it’s Christmas.

For as long as I can remember I’ve scoffed at Haydn and Bach, but turns out those guys came up with some real bangers. Welcome to how pretentious I really am.

Someone got on this train and carries the smell of poo with them. I don’t know who it is, I don’t know their circumstances, but it’s frankly not very festive.

This weekend was a lot more nice things than not so nice things.

My sweet, sweet (very grown up) baby brother asked me to get him classical music vinyls for Christmas and man, I am so pleased in Am7.

But why was this me clinging on to the emergency button in the MRI machine this morning

My local airport just announced a new route to Munich, and I got really excited that I can finally go visit my aunt without her worrying about me going through much hassle for her. Then I remembered that she’s dead.

Germany, today.

People in the replies are like "how could they?!"

Well, this is what police is for and always has been. They're acting as intended. This is why we say ACAB.

If you told this was happening when I was a child, I would have thought there would be a bit more of an uproar in the international press, it’s just the day the Hitler Youth is being founded all over again in Germany of all places. www.independent.co.uk/news/police-...

Guten Morgen, Essex!

This weekend’s meltdown features Mr President’s Coco Jambo, a roast chicken and fat salty tears over a book I will never be able to relate to, but can still feel in my bones.

Babylove, sometimes I fear deeply that I’m too sensitive to interact with this world.

If a day could be a primal scream, it probably would be today. So I made comfort dinner.

The definition of insanity is supporting this Netherlands squad and not thinking that every time they are just about the superior team they won’t have to go one nil down before they get their shit together. It’s also a metaphor for life.

I just did killer make up and that would be great if I wasn’t so permanently on the verge of tears because I absolutely and utterly hate my life right now. Gonna have to dig real deep for that gratitude shit.

Day 299 of ‘having a headache’. Apparently we are nearing the end. I really hope we’re nearing the end.

Since last night snot keeps coming out of my tear ducts; truly the coup de grâce for the remnants of my sanity, yet somehow also the only thing keeping me from crying about it. Life is so funny.

Allowing myself to listen to exclusively gloomy music today because, heck, I need to feel something other than phlegm.
October 11, 2025 at 5:33 PM
When I woke up I had one of those guttural misery cries. Then I got up and made a cup of tea, because part of life is knowing that if you can still make a cup of tea, it’s not that bad. I’m back to being annoyingly upbeat in all interactions but at the core of it - dear Lord I am sick of being sick.

Of course now that the pain appears to be subsiding (🤞🏽), I have to acknowledge my immune system is utterly bamboozled by all the meds and changes. Viva la common cold!

It’s 3 gazillion years past my bed time but who expects me to sleep after I was in the presence of Gaga?

(Also the new meds almost worked well, so I’m double warm & fuzzy)

30 seconds into my cab ride this morning the cab driver asked ‘does Farage want to deport you, too?’ and thus ensued the funniest conversation about immigration I’ve had with a stranger in about a decade.
