*seasonal klaxon* I've gone early! The flannel sheets are on! I repeat, the flannel sheets are on! This is not a drill!

Whuff. Hoovered, deep-cleaned the bathroom, dusted the dining room, mopped the kitchen, just about to go change the sheets... I was gping to give the lawn a mow and edge today but it rained last night so that would just be mud-churning unfortunately. Ah well. Productive none the less.
Trying a different coffee shop. It's weirdly and deceptively big in here compared to the size of the shopfront. But it's opposite the post office so I can wrap this thing and get it in the mail while sucking down coffee. (Also I had a 10% off voucher from last week's food fair. A decicive factor.)
Obligatory whinging on the internet. Where is my damn parcel, Royal Mail? And why is your tracking page not loading anything when I know it was working 2 days ago? I wanted to get that thing wrapped, re-packaged and back in the post this weekend but I guess nooooope...
Whoooooooop! 4% pay rise this year. Might partially cover the rise in the sodding heating bill this winter! Ahahhahahha!
Wearing my new jeans, feeling pretty good about it... my goddamn phone doesn't fit in ANY of the pockets 😱🤬 Goddamn it, don't make me go in and add extension pocket bags, ain't nobody got time for that.
Did a swimming. Then finally submitted and bought new jeans cause ffs I am getting sick of losing my trousers and now my belt it too big! Anyone got a leather punch to make a few more holes? It's a fab, high quality leather belt, it's just too loose 😬
I have to blab it at someone so, sorry for the diet wank, but I just bought a super swishy winter skirt in a 16 and it fits. I haven't been a 16 since puberty hit and I am all asquee with excitement.

I made an abomination of a leek and potato soup yesterday. It has white wine and a squidge of miso paste in it for added umami, and it is UH-Mayzin.
ISTG if we get a fire drill Thursday afternoon I am going to flip a table out of the goddamn window. Could not be worse timed, but is the ONLY set of that experiment that wasn't already on the books when H&S asked if we had any dates we really really really needed them to avoid.
Dj was still blaring, albeit at reduced volume. No honey people present, sadly. Won a slice of red velvet cake though so... score?
Ok, now I can hear a drummer but it sounds like a live band. This is, I hope, an improvement.
Update: I can no longer hear oontz oontz oontz echoing around the park from the dick at the top of the market. Either he finished the set or someone got fed up and unplugged him.
There's a food/resturant fair in town today. Lovely, you would think. But holy FUCK there is a dj booth at the bars/nightclubs end that is SO LOUD it made me physically nauseous to walk past. It's 10:30 on a Sunday morning, not Friday night in the club, fuckhead. Turn it down 🤮
Bought a suuuper cheap lil' lump of pork shoulder this morning. Cut up into lean parts for breading, fattier cubes for casserole, and all the really fatty trimmings to go in the slow cooker to render out, pull, then make roast tatties for dinner. So I got probably 10 portions out of a £6 pig lump.
I feel like being angry makes me insanely sweaty. I've reapplied deodorant like 4 times this morning already. Today was a bad day to pick a synthetic fabric.
In my brain I am having an incredibly angry confrontation with the person in the next room. In reality I know I will say nothing because unleashing both barrels will achieve nothing other than increasing my blood pressure. Cause it will roll off the other person like water on a duck.
Vague workwank but, if this happens again the leopard is going to eat his face, and that face-eating leopard will be me. 🤬💀
Why yes, I did order it the same day it came out, like a fucking nerrrrrd. It will be my reward when I lose my next half-stone. Which fingers crossed should be by mid December. If I can stop necking slabs of cake like a deranged chipmunk, as I did last week.
Today's audible brainworm is Downtown, from Little Shop of Horrors. Arguably still the best movie adaptation of a stage musical, but also quite wearing after 6 hours on loop.
Well this is a dumb vegan mailshot. Cause it's me! I am those people. And they are fucking delicious.
Things I learned: the dog down the road is called Vincent, after Price, & he has eppilepsy (apparently common among goldens.) His owner also refers to him as the Ted Bundy of retrievers. Cause ppl think he's so f-ing charming, but the second he sees a cat the only thought in his fat head is MURDER.
I would really like just... not being tired for a while. The last time I didn't even feel at least vaguely sort of tired was (and I can pinpoint it) the 26th July. Don't be middle aged. It's shit.
Badger update. Fence holes continue to hole. Next door still wants me to fix my hole. I am reluctant all the while the fuckheads will just punch through it again. Badgers much less destructive when allowed free access. 🤷🏻♀️ Can you install a badger flap in a fence panel?
Lovely day in town with @gourami.bsky.social and the squidlet at the ceramics fair in the old generator building. Bought a couple of xmas decs and a couple of gifts while I was out too so it was a useful sort of day. Kerpooped now tho. Ready for a sit down and a lil snack.
It's tech bod's birthday today. I am so tired I have eaten 3 pieces of cake and may go back for a 4th before I can wrangle the energy to haul my ass home. 😴
Rewatched on mute cause I am at work and I can *still* hear every moment of it. 🤣
