I'm going to give Vincent Van Slogh away. After the week we've collectively had, I think I'll try to put some good juju in the world. If you'd like a chance to give this unhinged little critter a home, please reply below. ++mutuals only++you can gift him on after winning if you like++NAMES IN HAT

Its the year anniversary of my colleague Laura dying suddenly. She was 28. Her passing left a huge gap in our lives, she really was larger than life and a lovely soul. I'll remember her for being VERY pink and sparkly, and always willing to help or teach.

I bought some dark red chenille yarn to Make A Thing. It's almost as hard to work with as black yarn. *loses count* *again*

Think the yorkies are gonna be a flop. Oh well.

Last week to grab Dead Lake for 99c/p. Here's a snippet: The water was lit by the dying light, red in hue, like a lake of blood. “Portentous,” said Annie. “That’s a big word.” “Something’s afoot, Patricia, don’t think this thing is over.” buy.bookfunnel.com/g... 💙📚👀🪐📢📚#Books #DarkFantasy

@quizzylavellen.bsky.social and I are making a full roast dinner tonight (usually I can't be arsed). The gammon has been slow cooking in coke all day, and we've just begun the roast tatties.

Everybody's favourite secret agent is back!

Hubs had been marshaling at Silverstone today (in the howling wind and driving rain) so I've made him a sausage and bacon stew with canelini beans and lentils. Its slowly cooking in a low oven, and in an hour, I'll add cheese and herb dumplings. Almost makes me wish I ate meat!

My sister, who is also the DM, has sent each of The Critical Shits a personalised dice tray, and a bag of Guatanteed Uncursed Dice™️! I mean, the dice have yet to meet me, undisputed empress of the Natural One, but it's a wonderfully thoughtful gift, isn't it? *Dice Goblin Activated*

To accept that it is still NOT TOO LATE! We can, if we choose, work together to save our planet, the natural world, and of course, ourselves, if we could only come together with a common purpose: to save, not to destroy. #DailyNature #NatureWriting #JournalPrompt

Both ends of a #RainbowForKate! @katsyarina27.bsky.social

Really worried that youngest is headed the same way as her big sister and me, and is going to have a breakdown after starting further education. She doesn't want to get out of bed, eat or take her meds, and has stopped showering and getting changed. I can see it coming but dont know how to stop it.

I am in SO much pain today. Not sure if it's a flare-up, due to overexerting myself, or because I had to lie perfectly still in the MRI machine for 20 minutes. Either way, OW. On the plus side, my bus was on time, I'm listening to a bloody good album, and it stopped raining. Yay!

Octopus are suggesting raising our DD from £145 to £193!!!!! Robbing bastards, muttermutter.

First two viewings were a very emphatic NO. Because the first one smelled of wee, smoke and death and had exposed wiring. The second one was tiny and had a downstairs bath (which causes inexplicable rage in hunby for some reason).

I'VE GOT HOUSE VIEW8NGS BOOKED TODAY AND I'M KINDA PANCIKING

"People assume that *chronic pain* is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, painy-wainy... stuff." This came to me while I wasn't sleeping last night. #chronicpain

Does anybody have character prompts for me to draw?

My horror-obsessed youngest wondered 1 could draw George as pinhead. While I've been drawing, she's been giving me a crash course in the Lore. Clive Barker. Special guy.

Can’t/won’t sleep, so I’m watching Labyrinth. Here is my tribute to Jareth.

Tried sleep; it was full of pain and nightmare. Not sure if I wanna try again.

I am miserable right now Is ut too late to eat Phish Food ice cream?

There is a LOT of fuckin'crying in baseball, so there.

Betty Spaghetti's husband is dead. It always makes me cry.

Watching the A League of Their Own movie. It always makes me cry.

Have been looking at houses online. Its very exciting.

The tips of my ears are numbly tingly. On the left, it extends down my jaw. It's been going on for weeks. Dr. Google (yes, I *know*, it was a moment of weakness) suggests a stroke. Meanwhile, I've got pins and needles in. My. Ears. It's rather odd, truth be told.

TRANS LIVES ARE REAL. HARRY POTTER IS NOT.

Also - hella weird dreams last night. All cyclical and long and just plain odd.

Thank you everyone who replied to my wobble last night. Mental health shenanigans suck, dont they? Solidarity to all who are struggling. You bloody legends.

It's never the big things. I can handle them. It's the accumulation of many irritating/frustrating little things which tips me over the edge. And currently, I'm teetering.

*runs into Bsky, screaming* aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHhhhhhhh *runs out again*

We are, as 4/5 of the family, watching Dreamworks' The Road To ElDorado, which is an absolutely BOSS movie. It's so well done; the script is *chef's kiss*, the voice acting is spot on, and the animation is gorgeous. And I totally subscribe to the Miguel-and-Tulio-are-a-couple head canon.

If your doctor ever tells you it's all in your head, find a new doctor. Your symptoms matter. Your experience matters. Keep advocating for yourself. #ChronicIllness #PatientAdvocacy #Spoonie

I'm in a george-y mood.

#mood.

Well, that was a weird night. Lots of odd dreams, an idea for a horror short as I was dozing, and a very very upset tummy.

Ok, I need to either learn to love me as I am, or lose about 5 stone. Which will be easier? Probably the weight loss. But seriously, I find other overweight people attractive, it's just me makes me want to puke.

Yes.

We are in Liverpool, which looks to be a truly fabulous city...however my spawns are overwhelmed and overstimulated, and do not wish to explore :(

Very faint, and through a mucky window while travelling fast - a #RainbowForKate @katsyarina27.bsky.social (It's been a while, sorry!) ❤️🌈

I've cried so much this past year that I have red streaks down my face that just don't go away. I hope they will eventually. Maybe someone who knows more than me about skincare has some suggestions to help clear them up?

Myself, Eldest and Youngest are having a girl's weekend at Liverpool Comic Con this weekend! SO EXCITED.

My mate bought a large amount of sugar completely filling his trolley. He then dithered and couldn’t find his way out of the hypermarket. Proving the old adage. “He who has a Tates is lost”. #LunchPun

Last week I bought the #Haberdashers series by @cmdrsue.bsky.social and so far I am loving it. The MCs are all wonderfully flawed, their motivations are interesting, and the writing is *chef's kiss*. If you love histrom, give them a try!

The Falconer's Quest at #WarwickCastle is phenomenal. Absolutely gorgeous birds.
