Ok. I’ve finally saved enough £ to go on first holiday since pre-covid. White Lotus obsessed teen wants to go to Sicily. Any advice? I want a pretty old town, she wants beach, boutique shops and a pool 🤣 Help!

I need to stage an intervention with myself and shut down my Twitter account. I’m just rubbernecking at a car crash on there. It’s so vile 😬

Did JD just say, “We can’t just ignore the President’s desires.” ??????? Sounds a bit like, “Napoleon is always right” with an extra helping of creepy 🤯

What do you do when your freeholder drops a £2000 bill on you that you can’t pay? Ground rent (£250) “management fee” £1500 + a few other bits. No “management” has taken place. 3 flats in a conversion. Any experts I can DM?

Meanwhile, over on X - Americans, having downloaded the Chinese version of TikTok, are going out of their minds at what other countries have that they don’t. For too long they have only looked inwards, believing that they live in the greatest country on Earth.

Twitter update: Tate and his minions threatening a CSA survivor. Trump threatening to invade Greenland. Elon calling UK politicians names and generally being batshit crazy. Just a normal Tuesday on “X” 🙄😔

Boxing Day trip to the cinema to see “Conclave”
WOW! Very intense, amazing cast, hidden world. Surprising twist at the end, which actually made total sense. Highly recommend. A very grown up film 😄

My mum’s new (ish) care home took her and her friends to meet some Alpacas! She loved it, so I bought her some Alpaca socks for Christmas. The sad irony is that she won’t remember the trip. Dementia sucks 😔

UPDATE on “the bad place” - right wing buffoons are currently abusing a lovely PhD student for passing her viva. Literature is apparently irrelevant nonsense. Vile comments she has had to report to the police. Way to go Elon (and your band of idiots)😡

Just in case you’re wondering… currently Twitter is a cesspit of a) bros defending Connor McGregor by being disgustingly misogynistic, and b) some American anti-trans psycho called Nancy being predictably vile.

I admit it!!! I’m still on Twitter. I can’t seem to prize my eyes away from the car crash across the pond. There’s a new character called Nancy who is insane!

Tabby cat (Cersei, Queen of the 7 Kingdoms) has literally bitten a chunk out of her sister Nyx (black cat) resulting in a bald spot the size of a two pence piece. I don’t think she’s even sorry. Living up to her evil reputation. Pictured in calmer times…
