It’s that time of year again where I get a notification from my dead dad asking me to help out with something. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: whatever your problems are up there big man, I sincerely doubt I can assist
My partner sent me this updating me on how my rabbit Lola (not pictured) is getting on, along with a video of Brakes as he recovers from his surgery. Idk if I’ve just had pets for too long but my instinct was Brakes was updating me on Lola and calling me “squishy”, I assume his new pet name for me
The best part about this is the topline I went with is truly something stuck in my past because I hadn’t yet realised I was glutenintolerant lol If any of the big pizza chains want to develop the tech to make an actually nice gluten free pizza I can guarantee I’ll be there with a film crew

BBC mates and music pals went Don’t Stop Me Now. Transformers fans edged Under Pressure, but BlueSky was the difference. Today: ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST or SOMEBODY TO LOVE
QUEEN WORLD CUP #QueenWorldCup I Want To Break Free, a standard, slightly hum-drum tune where they dressed up for the video. Or: BICYCLE RACE, one of the greatest songs ever. Vote #IamBoring for I Want To Break Free, or #YEAH for Bicycle Race. That simple. Appease your circus-master.

I just found the Nintendo magazine from 2005 that inspired me to go into journalism. 20 years later I’m on the BBC previewing Nintendo’s latest console the Switch 2. I literally had the cliche school teacher telling me it was a pipe dream back then because I’m disabled. Pipe dream this, Miss.
