Poor pupper.

I will never underestimate how lucky we were to have Buzz who did not care at all fireworks. The most he'd do would sigh loudly.

I know. He just expects me to know these things.

It is one of the more annoying bits of teenage nonsense chat.

My 14yo said it to me about 2 months or so ago, I didn't know what he was on about. His response?
"Mum I expect so much more of you"

I think there's a compliment in there somewhere.

First full day of @williamkilbride.bsky.social being away for work. I have been chastised twice by Child 1 for not having organised more "fun activities" (he's 14) and asked several times by both of them when the cakes and treats are coming.

Sigh.

Good grief, you're productive while asleep. I tip my cap.

Cat being the only woman left means she's out tomorrow. Traitors should have saved Kate.

He over thinks everything. My very wise friend said it's a social game not a political one.

Joe is a big gem.

Nick is a wee gem

Quite.

Are you going to be home for this evening's Traitors? I fear the Faithful will revert to totally useless type.

Attention seeker!

Seriously though, feel better. And look after your ribs.

Get a Traitor or I'm not watching anymore

Welcome back Actual Story Budget, maybe?

That's purely me with my library hat on. I have only survived a PhD indirectly, and I could write a book about being part of a PhD support group.

This too shall pass. Couldn't get Child 1 out of bed before 10.30am this morning.

Yes, he is 14, but still.

Ooft. It's just a brilliant episode but utterly traumatising.

I struggle at Loves Labors lost every time

I may start a rewatch of ER whilst the Good Doctor him Indoors is off down under.....

I squealed in a similar way - @williamkilbride.bsky.social will agree that I was maybe overly excited to see her. I think she's completely aces. I love her. I also love that she's there for Alex.

Has anyone seen my ability to read? I lost it when I fell over at the end of August and I haven't read anything successfully since then. It's making me sad.

Oh deer....

Sing it baby!

This is most excellent news for both readers and authors of the trickiest books to write successfully!

I think it's hilarious that everyone thinks he's a genius apart from anything else.

I hope he doesn't suffer the Fate of Jaz, though.

This is bigger news than who is going to be the next Doctor Who!

Good grief! Tess? Claude? No!

You wash your mouth out, young lady.
