@ljlittleson It’s a full body work out!

Anyone else find changing a king size duvet cover and wrestling the fitted sheet onto the mattress so tiring they’d like a wee lie down afterwards or is this just a me problem?

@TheRosie I have to say that I was shocked when I went back earlier this year, and I’ve only been gone 2.5 yrs, so I can only conclude that I didn’t notice because I was used to it. But yes, most places looked very drab and run down.

Although, everytime I go back to the UK now, any major city, I see the deterioration. Nobody seems to care anymore and there's no money or motivation to improve.

Well, as 2025 approaches with alarming speed, methinks it’s time to can this bin fire of a platform. I won’t be joining any of the new ones so if you’re particularly inclined, and we’re not already in touch, you’ll find me on FB or Insta. Adios amigos!

For those contemplating a detox or cleanse in the new year, here’s a toxicologist’s explanation of how they work: They don’t

The evolution of the mosquito bite: a photographic exposition, from bite to bruising.

I have never seen anyone in real life taking medication the way they do in films - ie tipping bottle down throat or stuffing handful of capsules in mouth, with not even so much as a sip of water.

@RowanGallery @LUDENClassics I spent ages looking for my fog lights here only to find that there aren’t actually any fitted on the car. I guess there’s maybe just never the sort of fog I’m used to here!

@LUDENClassics I don’t mind it - it’s just everyone else who spoils it. They either can’t put their foglights on or they can’t put them off. Also, have you noticed how much of an afterthought foglights seem to be on recent models, EVs in particular. Looks like they sellotaped a torch to bumper

Who else loves driving in the fog?

Watched The Fall Guy last night (one of my Chrissie pressies) - really enjoyed it. Good, fun film - well worth a watch! :)

Absolutely terrible news. :(

@gomichild Is that cheap hamburgers with scrambled eggs? Why are these even on the same plate?!

Flavour

@merkin_about Fair point! I hate custard (particularly cold custard) so I never eat trifle! But if you gave me it without custard, problem solved!

@merkin_about Jelly, yes. Custard, absolutely not.

@AuntyOof Once you’ve tried having to function & be busy in 35° (rather than being on holiday in that sort of temp) then you’ll find it rather different!

@Littlest79 Am I supposed to feel sorry for you!! 🤨 heating being operated by hand, hunkered down for the weekend storm and solstice beach yoga and outdoor swim cancelled because of the stormy weather!

Christmas shopping in 35° is…challenging. 🔥

Chatting to a colleague today and one of her replies was “that’s because my mother is a c*nt & I refuse to conceal or apologise for the fact that she’s an awful person”. And how refreshing this was! Safe to say, we connected as those of us in this position always do!

One of the youngest men sentenced for raping Gisele Pelicot carried out the rape on the day that his daughter was born. I do hope his wife has left him and the child cuts him out of her life forever.

@neeliadunoon @AuntyOof We’ve just finished The Diplomat (political drama) and the new Day of the Jackal (very good), as well as The Old Man (also very good - but not jolly). Also just binged Queer Eye for some wholesome makeover joy. 🌈

@Littlest79 @AuntyOof Looking for escapist viewing once schools out for the holidays!

Which fans are saying this? Have they watched nothing else? We watched this - it was…fine. Derivative, predictable, but it passed a couple of hours. Nothing more than that.

@neeliadunoon @AuntyOof It’s not remotely tremendous! It’ll pass a couple of hours but that’s about all I can say for it!

@Littlest79 @AuntyOof Sitting with Mark and Kitty watching Die Hard 2 tonight....cos its nearly Christmas...Will watch this netflix offering once all the weans are home but it will have to be tremendous to beat Bruce!
