Any recommendations for nice (kid friendly) places to eat in Southampton? Will need dinners and lunches! Please and thank you.

The reviews were good from pals. I feel they could have forewarned me how much gin and good humour would be required 🀣

Admittedly ambitious to potty train and put house on market in same week. But the former required booking annual leave and the latter got delayed to this week.

Well potty training has been a deeply humbling experience. I *think* that going back to work tomorrow will be restful in comparison.

Did a softball today, was good for my sad brain and body. I scored 4 runs in 4 games. Mum was there too, and our pitcher is kid of mum’s best friend from school. All the small humans hanging out together was good for the souls. Plus glitter.

More house spam. Will miss the morning light in this bathroom. Still love the effect of the matt paint above vs the slight gloss below.

My phone screen time hasn’t plummeted as radically as I had hoped, one to work on, but I have watched a lot less tv.

In a bid to spend less time doom scrolling I made a plan to read more in 2025 and picked 100 books as my wildly ambitious aim.

I expected to fail.

But, having spent a good chunk of May/June/July being really sad and hiding from my own brain I am now 77 books down and feeling a tiny bit smug.

Its a GPlan Fresco that I got on Gumtree which is, I know, unhelpful. But they are often on FB Marketplace and Gumtree and I really would recommend it. It extends to seat 8. There is a circular one that extends to seat 6 as well.

Getting the house ready to (hopefully) sell. Photos being taken tomorrow so I am tidying and dreaming of being someone who was this tidy all the time πŸ˜‚.

Baudrillard’s 4 stages of simulacra applied to pumpkin spice

Stage one (next to picture of pumpkin): Initially the sign (image or representation) is a reflection of basic reality

Stage two (next to picture of pumpkin pie): the sign masks a basic reality. The image becomes a distortion of reality

Stage three (next to Starbucks pumpkin spice latte): the sign marks the absence of basic reality. The image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists

Stage four (next to jug of pumpkin spice flavored coffee mate): the sign bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is it’s own pure simulacrum

Gave the kid a harmonica we found when clearing out. She is besotted. We are slightly deafened.

It will be just me and @katyarmstrong.bsky.social to begin with, but you’ll be intrigued by this and find yourself popping by… and then, then you’ll be joining us.

Need to find some kind of support group for people who have tried the Mango Melt iced black coffee from Formative Coffee and are now ruined and cursed to spend Β£5.20 whenever they pass.

A total long shot, but is anyone moving/driving a van from either Edinburgh to Glasgow or Edinburgh to London/Brighton and have space to transport a wardrobe in return for some Β£.

For various reasons hadn’t felt able to finish Big Boys Season 3… until now. And I am a wreck. What beautiful television.

Come on Eileen came on the radio earlier and the small human lost her shit. Squeals of joy, hand waving, knee slapping and covering her whole face as she laughed in absolute joy. Never seen anything like it. What a treat 😍. What a tune πŸ˜‚.
