The most exciting thing that’s happened to me recently is getting 20% off a heated airer
Last night I went with my mother and sister to see Rob Brydon. It was a truly magical night, especially for a true lover of comedy like myself @ruthjones.bsky.social @mattlucas.bsky.social @stephenmerchant.bsky.social David Walliams also made an appearance but doesn’t appear to have an account…

Word of the day is ‘quafftide’ (16th century): the season for drinking. Also a pithy way of declaring that it’s time to relax.

Works for hydropots (water drinkers) just as well.

Attempted my first #friendsgiving pudding, it fell apart but tasted good

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Word of the day is ‘suspiring’, from the 16th century: a deep sigh.

(Covers exhaustion, relief, sadness, collapses onto the sofa, or whatever fits the bill).

Doing that stereotypical “new me” thing of cutting all my hair off. Oh how original

Etymology of the day: before a tapering piece of hanging ice was called an ‘icicle’ it was an ‘ickle’. In the Middle Ages people decided to add ‘ice’ for extra oomph and (tautologically) called it an ‘ice ickle’, until the two words eventually blended together.

Word of the day, though I’m sure no one will need it, is ‘eye servant’ (16th century): an individual who only pays attention or works hard when the boss is looking.

Word of the day is ‘hibernacle’ (18th century): a hibernating animal’s winter retreat.

I believe it works on a human level too.

A big part of anxiety is just being very suspicious of yourself. Like I'm not exactly sure what I'm up to but I don't trust this guy, vibes are off.

For the life of me couldn’t get to sleep last night so now I look like I’m hungover from going out out within an the fun bit before

I’m not funny. My whole life has just turned into one of those ‘laugh or cry’ situations…

In the last two weeks I have moved back home and into my childhood bedroom, had to go onto jobseekers and my parents regularly check I’ve brushed my teeth twice daily.
Did manage to get some of the fluffy Primarni leggings though so swings and roundabouts.
