I am being judged for the fact there is a drizzle, A DRIZZLE, and I am not switching it off. Scampi is very offended by my lack of action and is now staring morosely out at the hint of dampness. It is an affront.

Scampi, a floofy tabby with a white chest is staring at me with unconcealed judgement that it is mildly damp outside. She knows I can control the light switch so why not the rain switch? Outrage.

Dreamt last night that on a whim I got a train from Glasgow to a city in Yugoslavia. Not Serbia, or Slovenia or any of the countries that exist now, Yugoslavia. Apparently trains run directly there from Glasgow and into the past. It was bloody excellent though, the city was fantastical!

This one DOES hurt. A genuinely sad loss. His cinema productions during the Covid pandemic with Bryan Brown, Hugo Weaving etc were absolute joy. They made me laugh during a very dark time. He seemed like a lovely man 💔

RIP Sam Neill Damn this one hurts. Grew up on his films and Jurassic Park is still one of my favorite movies of all time. Also just a genuinely nice person by all accounts. RIP legend 💔

With immeasurable sadness I must announce that Napoleon, our best boy, went missing a few nights back. if you see a small black kitty with two white toes around Boundary/Markhouse roads in #walthamstow do DM me. if i post no photos of him anymore, this will be why. he was my very best boy 💔

my beautiful black kitty, with white belly patches and two white toes, stretched out asleep in happier times.

Not sure I can think of 10 but (imo) definitely include 1. Stephanie Meyer: The Twilight books (to me) were the biggest pile of shite ever (never been a fan of vampires as a romantic/erotic read. I like my vampires feral, and horrific), they are an insult to the sexy vampire genre. 1/?

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈
