The week before the decision me & a friend went to a meeting, loved the ladies & decided to join. Them: delighted as we were on the younger side. We were going to attend the next meeting with forms & subs and then... I had to write and tell them why. Knew it wasn't their decision but still. So sad.

My gal kind of did let me choose it in that it was my girly name option before she was born 😁

IT just told me an error I was experiencing was because the system looked ok but it was just pretending to be ok and actually wasn't functioning at all and...

...same, little IT system... Same.

A black cat is laying on a blanket made of colourful knitted squares by a window, you can just see out of focus shrubbery behind him. He is getting neck scratches and a yawn has taken over his whole face so you can't see his eyes and only a bit of his ears. He has black patches in his pink mouth, a curly tongue and quite magnificent teefs.

Let's all do #caturday like Ollie. Get our bellies out in the window and yawn like you don't know the world has gone to hell...

One of my incidental takeaways from this article is discovering that you are a metalhead too 🀘🏼

Photo from a live gig of Joey Draper from South of Salem. He has dark hair flipped over to the left side, is wide eyed and reaching out towards the left of the camera, holding the microphone to his mouth with his other hand. The lighting is making skin tones very pink/red. He is wearing a black T shirt, multiple bracelets and a chain necklace, his arm is tattooed. Some photo app wizardry has turned the background into a blue - pink - yellow - pink blurred extravaganza.

My photo app just messaged me with a photo I took of Joey Draper from South of Salem more than a week ago at Roxoff Festival in Norwich. It did some things and I'm NOT MAD.

Oh Andor. We both ugly cried. That was perfect. Children of the 70's we grew up on Ep 4. Rogue One brought us back. Andor just did full circle... 😍

Also let's not neglect the fascism flags people...

A tuxedo cat called Bertie lies on his back asleep on a brown fluffy throw, against a teal sofa. His arms are wide and his white whiskers are magnificent. He is bothered by nothing. His fucks are at zero.

I said something similar in my blog responding to the GC figureheads gleeful champagne popping celebrations after the SC ruling:

β€œit seems like there may now be only one way for them to go. Could this be their Marie-Antoinette β€˜let them eat cake’ moment?

And we all know what happened to her.

The FA offering FUCKING THERAPY to my daughter as they take away her ability to enjoy matches with her grassroots team is another level of evil. I'm beyond disgusted at the cruelty. Acknowledging the distress that's being caused and carrying on with it anyway... #transwomenarewomen #transmenaremen

Hear me out. I know AI is *bad* but have you ever had to rethink your prompt because what is in your head is not what it 'heard'? It's made me realise that what is in my head doesn't make sense to everyone and I just realised I had a real life teaching moment πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ«€

Happy Caturday! Ollie says today is a day to sit in the sun and drink coffee. I don't know I don't make the rules πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ #catsofbluesky #blackcats

A tuxedo cat stares down the camera, against a blurred background which is failing to hide an untidy table and cluttered cabinet. His eyes are half closed and he looks very self-satisfied. His coat is shiny and his white whiskers are long and distinguished. He is very definitely not wearing a collar.

Bertie is extremely pleased about managing to lose the 'do not feed' collar with a bell that was definitely not stopping him sourcing food from somewhere and was also failing to make enough noise to prevent him catching rats. OK Bertie, I give in. It was pointless. You do you. #catsofbluesky

I think it's wild your body needs to be unconscious just to process *life* - a design flaw, no?

Stage shot with blue/purple lighting. Dave from Those Damn Crows is in the foreground playing guitar, his knee is up on the riser. Shane the singer mirrors the leg and is slightly behind him, he is holding the microphone in both hands singing with his eyes closed. In the background Shiner is playing guitar wearing sunglasses and a hat.

Shiner is onstage playing guitar and is spotlit in green light, the background is black. He is wearing a leather jacket with pin badges, a baseball hat backwards and sunglasses.

Close up of Ronnie playing drums. The back of the stage is painted with a colourful sugar skull in reds, oranges, teals and greens. Ronnie's hand is blurred as he is mid beat. He is wearing a cut off t shirt and a backwards baseball hat. There is blue light reflecting off the drums.

Close up on stage, Lloyd is playing bass, leaning against Shiner playing guitar. He has one foot on tiptoe, supporting the bass. He is wearing a cut off t shirt and has tattoos. To the left there is the side of the piano which reads Those Damn Crows from bottom to top. The lights pick out the haze from behind.

Off to see Those Damn Crows in Leeds on Thursday. The variety of stages I have seen these guys on just this year is bonkers. But they are only getting bigger! Hamburg last week was small yet perfectly formed. I feel like Stylus is going to go offfffff... #happyplace #nwocr

The new home for the community bookshop in my town is beautiful and I'm a little bit in love. I came out clutching one of about four new books that were recommended to me in there and they should just take all my money now. #bookshop #CIC
