Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Thankfully I was *just* too young to have been subjected to that.
And I have never felt the need to watch it.

I’m perfectly happy with that gap in my experience thankyouverymuchta

Oh my god. I remember having to write a story based on the book of this at school 😱
3rd or 4th year of middle school, I’d have been maybe 11? Certainly tracks with the year.

There’s so many people who have suffered tons of misfortune who are tolerant and nice and lots of super privileged people who are racist assholes

Racists should not be tolerated in society and should be made to go live on the moon

Some of the regular customers looked out for me.
Others very much were part of the problem.
It’s amazing how clumsy I could be with their drinks sometimes.

By 1994 I had a bar job.
I learned to deal with β€œbanter” from the blokes.
I got good at dealing with it very quickly. But it was almost always my problem to deal with - they hardly ever got called out.

My eldest daughter finds this almost incomprehensible. And she has a bar job now.

I know the first movement is the most famous.
But the rest of this symphony is fucking amazing. Especially when it’s played like this. 😍

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that bit of #Beethoven5 done that fast.

Wow

Allan Ahlberg obituary Writer of books such as Each Peach Pear Plum and Peepo! capturing a child’s outlook with his illustrator wife Janet

Here’s a tired parent 1-2-3
Sits by the bedside
What does she see?

She sees her baby sleeping
Finally
At last

Books piled on the table,
An empty water glass

Cinderella in the cellar,
A peach,
A pear,
A plum.

Thank you Allan Alhberg,
From this very grateful mum

Treated myself to a hair cut earlier today, because afterwards I went to the dentist.
2 fillings and ££fuckingHOWmuch and an hour later I am home with a half-numb face and a snoring cat who wouldn’t be sympathetic if she was awake. #IWasBrave

I posted a photo of my fish tank a while back and was almost immediately scolded by some joyless cow about how it was cruel to keep fish. She didn’t even follow me. Some people are just weird.

The football is on because someone else in the house wanted to watch it.
While I haven’t given a shit about football since about 2012, it would be nice if England win.

Hello, I’m a musician in a film.
The sounds coming out of my instrument bear no relation to what my hands/mouth/both are doing.

A red paper wristband on my right wrist, with β€œScience Museum Group” shown in black capital letters. 

Also on my wrist is a watch with a Snoopy face, and a friendship bracelet in shades of blue in a chevron pattern.

I should have kept them, I’d have 3 this month.

Anyway I’m in Leeds now, only 45 mins to wait for the next train home.
There is one per hour on a Sunday 😫

All day parking at the railway museum would have been a tenner.

I got dropped off, & am getting the train back.
It’s Β£13 to get me to Leeds , then more from Leeds to home.

And again, public transport is expensive & inconvenient.
I should have fucking driven.
