Last night I put my ear plugs in, my eye mask on and slept like a log. I hate thunder & lightning, I hate listening to wind outside. I brought the dog in to bed with us because he’s the same, bless him.

After wondering who goes out in this weather, I learned that my brother went out for a run 🤦🏻‍♀️ what a prat. Meanwhile I’m in my pyjamas with two blankets, watching my second football game of the day. I might have a shower and put new pyjamas on in a little while 🤣

A tiny bit of housework done, showered, hair dried, fresh jammies on, back under the blanket. This is what autumnal Sundays should look like 🧡

I’m now watching the Hibs-Celtic game and wondering who are these people, going out voluntarily in this weather? No thanks to that. But if the game’s going ahead I’ll watch 🫣

Good morning. I got soaked at work yesterday (my own fault, I forgot my lunch & had to walk round to the corner shop) so I spent yesterday evening in bed eating pizza. I think today should probably be another quiet one but first I have to go see my counsellor & get my brain untangled. Wish me luck!

We’ve made it to Saturday evening. Time for Strictly. M2 should be joining me but as chief teenager in residence I’ve not seen him all day, so who knows 😆

Strictly finished. The teenager arrived with seconds to spare and left seconds after the end. The scoring was wild tonight and we love the ✨drama✨ Now in bed to doomscroll and maybe have a glass of something. It’s been a good Saturday 🥰

That’s me home. I have no plans to leave home now until Monday morning. TV football is starting now and takes me right up to Strictly tonight. And tomorrow’s football starts at 12 and takes us to Countryfile 🤣 perfect recipe for a storm weekend.

The National League team I follow have had to abandon their game due to the weather. Hoping everyone is safe, but please don’t abandon any more games this weekend, I need football to watch 👀⚽️

i don't care how jk rowling is justifying her murderous bigotry today actually. over 600 transgender ppl have died in the uk in the last 18 months bcos of policies she demanded the british government implement. she is a monster. i don't care how much you like harry potter.

When did the amber warning become an orange warning? Does this mean the storm comes accompanied by a fucking flute band or something?

This won’t be reported widely, but Jason Arday has been cleared of plagiarism for a second time. Still nobody has been held accountable for this man’s death.

UCU Edinburgh@ucuedinburgh.bsky.social

A reminder: Jason Arday was innocent. "A fresh investigation by scientific publisher Taylor & Francis has concluded without substantiating plagiarism allegations against Jason Arday, the former Professor of Sociology of Education at the University of Cambridge."

It really IS a triumph. Science is the absolute fucking suds.

In England, no women aged 20 to 24 died of cervical cancer between 2020 and 2024, according to a study published in The Lancet. Researchers link it to the HPV vaccine.

A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

It’s the end of the school holiday week so I’m back to work on Monday. I always have such big plans for these weeks when we’re not going away anywhere but HOW is it Saturday again already??? Who stole my productive week off?

I might not feel like I’ve been productive but I have rested. I went back to work last month after 9 months off due to illness, so maybe I needed the rest more than I knew. Sitting in the garden with the sun on my face right now, maybe this is where I am meant to be.

I did a quick appearance on Australia "Today Show" to discuss the press secretary, whose name we never needed to learn. I also have the inside scoop on who they are looking to replace her with. Wait for the end.

Sometimes an evening in front of the telly with my husband is worth the world. Last Friday we went out for dinner and it was lovely, but sitting laughing at our daft programs tonight is truly joyous. I’m a simple lass 😁

It's almost a joke at this point, but the entire story of Mamdani's mayorship really has been "it turns out we can just turn off the orphan grinding machine, the switch was right there the whole time."

Sadly too late in life. I was miserable and wondering what was wrong with me for far too long. Then I spent too much time agonising over how to be normal. Thankfully I have now fully embraced the weird and get to work with children & reassure them that weird is normal & okay & brilliant! … cont’d…

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

I made a recipe tonight that called for three cloves of garlic, so I used four. Dinner was nowhere near garlicky enough. I’ve let myself down, I’ve let my family down and I’ve let all of you down. I can only apologise and promise to do better next time.

I took my uncle grocery shopping with me, to get food in for the meals I’ll be making while he’s staying with us. Well seen he’s used to living alone, he was horrified when we got to the checkout. Dinner for five people for three days cost more than he spends in a week 😂

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social hi there, I’ve just opened up your website to resume reading old articles but I can’t access anything older than 2025. I was still reading 2019. Has it all gone now that you’re back on Substack? Is the website defunct? Thanks in advance :^)

I had arranged lunch with a friend today, only to realise we hadn’t seen each other in person since 2019! Needless to say, the hours passed and we eventually left out of guilt for the restaurant staff who were probably fed up of us 😂 Anyway, it’s lovely to know we could pick up where we left off ❤️
