I've owned an awful lot of phones, and a lot of awful phones, but the Pixel 7a is my favourite of all the phones I've owned.

@emmablackery This sofa is reserved for cats. Humans are not allowed to use these seats.

If I had to be upset by my cat’s pose then so do you

@emmablackery Age is just the number of years the world has been blessed with your presence.

My cat got into a fight with another cat and got wounded. The wound got infected and the resulting abscess had to treated by the vet. Is it just me or does the wound look like a rat trying to jump out of his chest?

@emmablackery What pisses me off is that you can't turn Windows Updates off, MS won't allow you to do that.

why did my pc decide it no longer wishes to ✨alive✨ the same week i wanna start planning twitch streams??

@emmablackery I thought I'd broken my leg when I tripped over on a box of Kleenex but the hospital said I only had tissue damage.

So Davey recently broke his leg and fractured his heel trying to get Leia down from a tree… and her face says it all really. She looks like a member of the Mafia who wants this to be a lesson to you all.

Yesterday, H&M announced that they are closing their store in Basildon. Today, NEXT announced that they are closing their store as well. More room for @BasildonCouncil to built more flats... Basildon 2023....

@emmablackery I had a dream that I was lying in the road and people were riding their bikes over me. My psychiatrist says I'm a cycle path.

had a dream that i ordered a mcdonalds and the drink they delivered was sparkling water, day ruined x

@emmablackery Presents - Presence. Nice one!

@DaddyBlackery ain't my presence enough? 😂

1 out of 2, baybeeeeeee!!! 😭 over the moon to being a step closer to seeing my family!!!

@emmablackery YOUR... WHAT THE FUCK?

My mother-in-law made me an Easter basket and I’m so 🥺🥺🥺

What a difference a year makes. Remember queuing outside supermarkets for an hour and when you got in the shelves were bare? Bog roll bandits stripping supermarket shelves?

Must be getting warmer, a bumble bee the size of a Covid 19 bat just flew into my house!

In Pre-Covid days you would cough to cover a fart, these days you fart to cover a cough.

I want to see leaves on the trees, sit in the garden feeling the sun on my face, and watch butterflies fluttering around.

My g/f says I'm 'thick and uncultured' so I'm going to take her somewhere posh to prove her wrong. (Hint: it starts with 'B' and rhymes with 'wallet').
