You should all read up on this woman. She's a bit of a feminist hero.

Son locked his key in his room this morning. We got another but it only worked once. We got another. Son locks it in his room again this afternoon. I go and get him another. I ask for the wrong room. I have to go back for another 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

The aforementioned Mai Tais. I could get used to this.

Oh god. Went to the hotel bar and asked for 2 Mai Tais (in German). The guy behind the bar said sit down we'll bring them over (in German). I nodded and said "merci" 🤦‍♀️

I'm in Berlin. There's this wet stuff falling from the sky. I'm not sure what it is.

The thermometer on my patio.

Good point

I'm convinced by the stories people with visual impairments tell about how useful smart glasses are for them, but none of these users seem to depend on being able to record video, which is the main thing that makes them "pervert glasses". Why can't we just regulate that?

Last night I dreamt that I wrote a book about someone doing animal autopsies on a space ship and it was a massive hit and optioned for a film. *gets pen and paper out* "Edie had always loved dissecting dead animals...."

Gardening friends, can you feed back tomato food?

Just been sitting on the sofa this afternoon scrolling my phone. Back door's open, sun is shining and I've been for a swim in the sea this morning. Very peaceful. Small win.

Some good news though www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I can’t believe these arrests are still happening - the new PM could end this utterly absurd proscription if he chose. As Jonathon Porritt says - trying to save lives is not terrorism. Exposing this government’s complicity in genocide is not terrorism

I'm reading a book which is narrated by 2 women but actually written by a man. It's actually a really good book but there have been a couple of times where I've just thought "No. That woman wouldn't think that" I'm sure it goes both ways, it's just a bit annoying, a glitch in the matrix.

We need to take a moment to salute Gianni Infantino for being the first person in history to get 55 European countries to unanimously agree on anything.

Just realised it's my wedding anniversary today. Or my ex wedding anniversary. Is that a thing? Either way 32 years ago is a long time ago and deserves a drink. 🥂

My niece has a new boyfriend. Now I'm very protective of my nibblings. I had to make sure he was worthy of her so I made him sit through a 70s video of Xanadu by #Rushtheband. He managed about 5 minutes. Not bad for a first time. I'll let him stay.

This year I am getting 3 grandchildren. One, Indie, a mixed breed rescue, has already arrived. Daphne, a miniature dashund, is still with her mum, and so is the unnamed kitten. Best kind of grandchildren imo. Anyway this is Indie and Daphne.

Like my new t shirt?

Worth watching for what your see at 8 seconds from the end.

Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted this video of the Oval Office and it somehow looks even more embarrassing than I realized

Nurse at my appointment was surprised that only 2 of my 6 kids lived at home. Then she looked at my date of birth and said "oh right. You look a lot younger than you are" *preens*

Realised yesterday, when I was at the dentist, that they can probably tell whether you are right or left handed by your teeth. My sister and I have both had more trouble with our left side teeth and were both left handed. Makes you think

Frankly surprised that we, East Sussex aren't in drought. My back garden is entirely brown.

War veterans left "distressed" by naked cyclists as fourth annual bare-all ride rolls through Clacton

DISTRESSED veterans got more than they bargained for when they came face to face with a swarm of naked cyclists flashing through Clacton.

Beautiful day on the south coast. The water is lovely too.

Just finished watching Ann Droid on the BBC. Highly recommend it. It is both funny and an easy watch.
