Took bins out
Coming back, startled Not My Cat (black) in darkness, it ran, I dodged, slipped, skidded onto one knee
Shock of fall + 2nd day of heavy period, no blood pressure to head, took me ages before I could stand up without keeling over
And this, kidz, is why I don't do household chores
I've lost my tiara π
No, seriously. I can't find it anywhere. I need it later this week. (No, seriously)
I think the knee is okay, it was a slow motion skid and I'm moderately supple from gym, but it's a bit sore and I still have a long drive π₯Ί

Better than season 2

But episodes are 2 short. They have a rushed feel. Getting the plot and structure out the way just in time for the finale. Fun, but want... More

Depends on the pomegranate
The general ones with small bitter tart seeds aren't great (this one borderline)
But the really huge ones with massive, lightly sweet seeds are divine
You can pick em in Finsbury Park from the grocery stalls near the mosque, they are incredible when they're in season
I feel this is a very mythological metaphor
Like, she ate so many pomegranate seeds in the under(theblankieonthesofa)world she never emerged again, that's why it's suddenly got so cold everywhere
It's cold. It's wet. I need to take the rubbish out, empty the fridge, make food, do the washing up and take a drive
So far I have...

Being single, I am very happy on my own
