I was quite envious of their RD briefing bridge, it really helps with making sure people can hear you. Most I can do is stand on a bench.

I might wait for the ground to firm up before I brave it again!

Snap! I was also there this morning. Loved all the sculptures, felt like the third turn back was never coming though.

Thank you marshal! Hope everyone mostly stayed on their feet.

Why we parkrun in the rain

Sometimes a celebrity death makes me audibly gasp and Catherine O'Hara was one of those. Such an amazing actor and comedian. Gutting news.

Junior parkrun is a lovely way to start a Sunday. Never fails to put a smile on my face.

I also enjoy how the lore of how long it takes a vampire to burst into flames is wildly inconsistent and entirely dependent on whether they need Spike in a scene.

We are swiftly approaching the end of season 5 of Buffy. I am once again confused as to why the Knights of Byzantium are all horse riding and chainmail wearing. Would you not have upgraded over the years? They're damn conspicuous.

2025 was a really shitty year and it can leave now. Honestly up there with my worst years of all time.

Ran my first ever Christmas parkrun today. Normally I volunteer but this year the roster was looking healthy so I took my chance. Rediscovering my love of running, and the ability to run, has been a highlight of 2025. Perfect start to a Christmas Day.

Thankfully he is blissfully unable to focus on it for long enough for it to get annoying. It'll be sporadic screaming.

He loves it! I have zero regrets.

Wondering if the receptionist at the vets is still thinking about the fact she wished me a Merry Christmas after telling me I could pick up my cat's ashes on Christmas Eve.

Also terrible fringes.

Happiest Season has a stupid stupid ending. Boooooo.

Direct quote "I hate him, somehow he's even worse than Angel and that's impressive".

On Season 5 of Buffy and have had to pause the episode again so the teenager can rant more about how awful Riley is.

Adding a photo of her in her prime just to show off how beautiful she was. She sadly was very much not a lap cat at this point, her fur was so thick and beautiful and she'd bite you if you tried to touch her for too long.

Our lovely Millicent, she will be much missed. The prodigal cat who left for 10 years and returned to drain our bank balance and fill our hearts.

It's that time of the year where we watch The Muppet Christmas Carol and marvel again at what a perfect film it is. And that Michael Caine is just acting his little socks off through the whole thing. God I love this film.

Oh we had the same, that age gap is a massive red flag here. Eldest also hates Xander.

Twelve songs in my top 100 songs are actually songs I listened to. Twelve.

Once again my Spotify Unwrapped is meaningless because I cannot compete with a teenager's obsession. Even though they have their own Spotify account, it doesn't work on the smart speaker so they steal mine and RUIN EVERYTHING. I have not listened to any of my top 5 artists.

This is performance art, right?

"They are present while I buy all the stuff".

"mutually expensive" would suggest the child was paying for any of it. I think it's singularly expensive my love.

I've got the celebrities recording their "it's 10pm, do you know where your children are?" public service announcements going around my head. Except it's Grace Jones saying "it's November 29th, do you know where your advent calendars are?" No Grace, no I do not. Sorry.
