Mary: I'm box-office gold, so it's shared billing now, God(the)Father. If Paul Newman and Steve McQueen could agree to it for The Towering Inferno, then so can we.

I still haven't forgiven you for the hordes of random fans coming to the stable for a gawk, btw

Ah haha, I just saw your comment. Yes!!

Oh god, I bet he's got signs inside as well, something like 'Bring Sparkles Wherever You Go', or 'It's Always Prosecco O'Clock'. But more aligned with his personality maybe.
'Rant, Rave, Steal' 'Where's my Goddam Cheeseburger?' etc

For the past six months I’ve had a tambourine in the boot of my car that jingles every time I go over a speed bump, and I think this is the kind of everyday whimsy we all need more of in 2025.

I've no clue as to what title Jesus might have, but this guy and me very nearly had an audience with him when *this guy* realised he was in the wrong lane on the roundhabout so just went into the right one. At speed, right in front of me.
"Collision warning!" flashed the dashboard
"No shit", I hawed

My Christmas leave reading arrived today.
It's so tempting to start now, but I want to immerse myself fully.

Also Seeds at Chez Lez has become the hottest hangout in the neighbourhood.

Burlar blur tit has returned - with additional camouflage. Not really necessary though as he has taken to banging on the window with his beak.

Thanks to fireworks exploding literally over our roof last night, Glinda sequestered herself in her "fuck this" box-bed under our bed.
When it began to rain she rejoined us on the sofa.
Later, she got into the festive spirit.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 5d

Yes, we're really grateful for that. I suppose they're used to it a bit by now. 🙄

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 5d

It was a bit! The ones going off on the beach (to our right) were bigger though, the pitch dark garden looked like it does at mid-day in summer.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 5d

I know. It's the one time of the years that it's a complete pain in the hole having that green space right next to us. Yes, thankfully it's chucking it down now and all is quiet. Letty is asleep in her chair and Glinda has come out and is sitting between us on the sofa.

Since fireworks are literally exploding over our roof, we're also lucky that our dog doesn't care about fireworks. She was off her baps on morphine the first night she spent with us - Halloween 2014.

Her 'fuck this' bed Is used for extended bad weather, a lot of people/loud men in the house/builders and occasionally, post vet visit.
Now that I think of it, I wish I had one.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 5d

The babies! Letty's first night with us was Halloween night and she was off her baps on sedation and painkillers. The world was literally exploding around her and she didn't caaaaaare. While I wouldn't recommend that method, she's never cared since then.
Glinda's in her 'fuck this' bed under our bed

I presume the 'Andrew, formerly known as Prince' gags have already begun?
How about 'persona non garter'?
I hope that Mr Mountbatten Windsor has been despatched to a different Sandringham Estate: a crumbling tower block full of squatting djs, their 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧s echoing like the tell - tale heart.

Although, points off for it not making any sense. I don't mean in a "ooh fuck, that's not possible" way, just in the regular way.
I mean, whatever it is, it can do crafts, it can't be *that* evil. Also corporeal because you'd need hands for that.

Tis the season, I've just rewatched The Blair Witch Project for the first time in years.
I thought it was crap the first time but it is creepier than I remember. But I did have a laugh at Heather's sort of anti-Oscar speech: "I'd like to apologise to Josh's Mom, and Mike's mom. And my mom..."
