I do sometimes get fixated on all the clothes being wrong and I have to have a word with myself

This is a top thread on Bridgerton, a show I watch all of while giving out about how preposterous it is. Which I think is the point.

Living on her wits! I do wish she’d realise the Farley is actually her life partner!

She’s second only to Lady Danbury for me!

The allure of Bridgerton is you catch yourself saying things like "I think I would be a Colin." or "I think I would be a Daphne" and actually I would be a toothless Irish peasant whose lifetime of tennant farming paid for one of Benedict's waistcoats.

Trainer today complained that the stopwatch on my phone was counting seconds faster than the seconds on her watch. Thus confirming what we already all knew - trainers operate in a separate time zone.

Honestly, Catherine O’Hara is nothing short of iconic. Such sad news today

The classic joke of it only rained twice last week - first for three days, then for four days

Honestly I need to do that for any scissors that comes into this house. Then maybe I’ll find out where they all go

But what about when you have to be crazy at 3am because you wouldn’t go for a walk during the day???

Little terrier dog wearing a blue fleece under his harness and lead is looking up at you with the ultimate pathetic face. The ground is wet but there’s no puddles and it’s bright and sunny

Teddy hates the rain, and wind, and cold. This is his face today when I dared to try and and walk him when it was not raining. There was actual sun. It has been raining for a week. It’s probably going to rain for another week. Cajoled him into staying out for 10 minutes #dogs #nonsense

Truly this hoover was not made to withstand the unholy mix of my tangly hair and the sheer volume of Ted’s hair. The stairs is finally done but the boss (me) is cross that I’m an hour late starting work 😂

The hoover was charged so as one of those manageable tasks I took it downstairs with me with the plan to hoover the stairs on my way back up. This led to the hour long side quest I’ll call “oh maybe it’s blocked” where I take it apart, unclog the sections, and then immediately clog them again

Panel One. Two figures walk up a hill in a park. One walks in front and the other is walking a dog Front "My new year's resolution is to stop lending books" Dog-walker "Really?" Panel Two. Front, becoming agitated "It's just not worth the risk: cracked spines! Bent corners! Torn pages! Grubby fingers! Crumbs! Baths! Burglars! Rats! Children!! I can't allow such precious artefacts to fall into the careless hands of clumsy philistines!" Panel Three. Dog-walker "And how do the other librarians feel about this?" Front "Less supportive Than I'd hoped."

My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com

Need to wait until tomorrow to check in with my friend on how far Daniel got. #traitorsuk

Ok I’m finally caught up on #traitorsuk. What a great final! I was chewing my fingers all the way through!

I’ve had decent luck with the YourPro app recently. At least there’s a record and you can look at their reviews. A couple of months ago I decided to finally get a tap fixed. I posted the ad, a guy called me and within an hour my tap was fixed. Dublin if that helps

Friend invited me over for dinner this evening … had to have a talk with myself about how the traitors final was not a reason not to catch up with my friend. I’ll not be watching live this evening. I’m such a good friend. Too good.

There was a fashiony person in Canada season 2 who talked about it after. Really interesting

Just when Adam could be useful #TheTraitors #traitorsuk

Adam will live on in spirit… but also by continuing to live #traitorsuk

Let’s just call them all Daniel

I know! For two whole weeks I forgot Adam was a ghost hunter!

This is a great season of #traitorsuk but actually my favourite thing about it is my friend is so confused by all the young lads blending together that she’s invented “Daniel” as a cast member.

A dowsing rod with added tech makes it science, right?

Excellent work!
