Obligatory introduction to the spoiled goblins behind my username. Mabel, Minnie and Margo. They’re the best. #GuineaPigs
When y’all post about having to say a final goodbye to your beloved furry friends, just know that it makes me cry every time. 😭
I like that that we’re all collectively delighted by the Louvre Jewel Heist.

Just some old-fashioned daring criminal shenanigans where nobody was hurt, instead of the wave of horror/death/douchebaggery that usually makes up the news…
Two baby deer were just frolicking outside my office window. 🦌

Feeling a bit Disney Princessy.

Delighted to hear that Gary Larson is drawing again. Digitally this time but you wouldn’t know it to look at them. www.thefarside.com/new-stuff

@katieandthepigs.bsky.social found your next project - a guinea pig highway!
Got slightly blasé with the measurements while making lentil curry. And will now be eating lentil curry for about four days.
Hats off the doctor who managed to fit my Mirena coil today in less than three minutes, with minimal pain involved (just a hideous few final seconds with the clamp). She was a cervical wizard. 10/10.
My mother has tamed a local squirrel to eat nuts out of her hands. And he is now boldly walking into her kitchen, and even her living room, in his ongoing quest for more nuts… 🥜 🐿️

🤦‍♀️ I’m going to show up for Christmas dinner and the squirrel will be seated at the table…
Off work until Monday and feeling very happy about it.

Then I remember I have a big garden to “put to bed” before the cold weather arrives, and a house to deep clean, and a load of errands to run, and TWO different gyno appointments to attend.

And I’m ever so slightly less happy about it.
Someone posted this Carver poem earlier. I had never seen it before and it has stuck with me all day. ❤️
Dyed my hair a few shades redder than usual, because autumn 🍂
I bought the exact same thing today to take to my mum’s house! She was also delighted by a bit of early festive grub!
The honk that I honked on reading that part of the article this morning…
The pain of reading the Guardian’s blind date column, and getting all happy that the couple seem really into each other, only for the second person to deploy “Sure, as friends” to the last question about whether they’d see each other again.

Love when this happens. I have no idea who the blocked person is, but I had clearly already clocked him as a huge knobhead.

Well done, past-Katie…
This is the vibe I aspire to.

Unfortunately I’m more “dishevelled redhead quietly swears at her phone while picking random bits of hay off her coat”
A woman on the tube, her beautiful silver hair cascading in waves over her vivid red cape, nods to herself as she reads a book about tigers.
Argh. Someone from work just matched with me on Bumble.

There isn’t a HELL NO big enough.

One Big Rule: No boinking people from work.
An excellent mission for someone with such a good grasp of the fundamental issues. 🤦‍♀️
I’m sorry… WHAT the proof? 🤬
