On Thursday a remarkable woman won a by-election. On Friday a remarkable woman won the Nobel Peace Prize. The coverage has overwhelming been focused on the men who lost. It's 2026. Yet still.
Cardiff's defence is just absolutely dire and we're going to get battered in every Champion's Cup game this season. #LEIvCAR
That Zebre v Edinburgh game is genuinely unwatchable with the constant background noise of the drumming. It's how my brain feels when I have a migraine attack. I don't need it on the days I don't have one! #ZEBvEDIA
Since when has Premier Sports been £150 a year?! 150 quid to watch Cardiff getting battered every week, what a bargain.
It is definitely autumn. The cat suddenly wants to sleep on the bed to benefit from body warmth. And of course I let him because I have no boundaries.
Can someone explain to me why my NHS dentist is asking how I feel about my skin and wrinkles on my face? Do your teeth impact your skin? Or is this them trying to sell private aesthetics services?
Whisper it... I think it might be time to swap to the winter quilt 🥳
First my knee. Then my knee and ankle. Now my knee, ankle, and quad. Considering just asking for my leg to be chopped off at this point. This is after historic injuries of multiple ankle ligament tears, almost fully rupturing my calf, and breaking my knee. hEDS really is a joy 🫠
Muppet Treasure Island really is a brilliant and very funny film. I've not watched it in ages but it's so good.
The new Twin Atlantic album is so good and sounds amazing. So proud of my pal who did all the mixing and mastering. One of the things that gives me the most joy in life is seeing my friends do brilliant things in their lives.
Nothing like waking up at 5.57am in a total panic that you haven't packed and are going to miss your flight that leaves in less than 2 hours only to realise that it was a dream and that you don't have a flight to catch.

The amount of books I buy from either the authors or someone else mentioning it on here, even when not on sale, is pretty high. I always feel overwhelmed with choice for books, so I love seeing posts like this and having the choice removed, it's just a book I think I'll like and I'll buy it now!

I just love it when there's a massive valuation at the end of Antiques Roadshow. The gasps and the lady's face tonight was excellent.
Not saying I have the ability to curse myself, but last Saturday I said to a friend I was surprised I'd not had a migraine attack after so many flights/travel, and then had one that night. And Friday I said to a colleague I'd not had a cold in ages and today I wake up all congested and shivery.
"we didn't have anything like as many people claiming to have ADHD back in the days when everyone carried around a pack of inhalable stimulant drugs and took between 20 and 40 doses every day"

We are up against 16 WRU employees here, don't forget. 19, if you include the linesmen and TMOs.
Tell you what, first day of the URC and my Bluesky feed is about 150% more sweary. Excellent work everyone. Going to be a great season 🥳
Scott Quinnell calling Cardiff "the Blues" and all I can hear in my mind is @joshgardner.bsky.social chuckle. #SCAvCAR
Birth, death, taxes, and Cardiff forgetting to do anything that resembles defence #SCAvCAR
I have either completely missed or completely forgotten that Anscombe was now at Scarlets #SCAvCAR
Happy first day of the URC season to all those who celebrate! (Not me, obviously, just another season of misery for Cardiff fans)

I've just discovered the movie Waiting is on Rakuten TV. I cannot stress how much anyone who's ever worked in the service industry should watch this, espeically if you ever worked in TGI Friday's or similar!
Had a horrific migraine attack yesterday night/today. Vomiting for 4 hours, vision gone, no medication working kind etc Put Sister Act on for a bit of light relief and made the very stupid decision to check how old Whoopie Goldberg was when it was released. 37. Worse than the migraine pain.
