Wiped out by *something* in 2003, and #pwME ever since.

Slave to a little cat and a big floofy dog.

Norfolk, UK
Caught some episodes recently and not entirely sure why I was allowed to watch it as a child.

In the whole "looking through cupboards" process of inheriting everything, I have found my childhood Duralex glass.

I did a visible mending thing to calm my brain (doggo is unwell) and maybe I'll put it online, but those silly ribbons they put in jumpers to hold them on hangers that I always clip off and hoard are actually useful.

I'm in the "bought a barely used pair off eBay" afterglow and must get some wonder balsam today.

"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance."

No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".

Oddly prescient of me to remind the solicitor last week that I'm not being weird about not trusting email, just realistic about the current internet.

"The goal is simply to revive a historical name and rebuild it for the modern market – our focus has always been about preserving the Parravani's legacy."

And when there's so many invented names/histories for new brands, who's going to care outside of existing customers that this one is real?

I tend to not trust myself with mechanical watches that aren't skeletonized ehough to show the spring because I overwound my childhood blue Snoopy one, so of course the reissue is popping up again in my recommendations.

The comment "Defra said the risk to the public was very low, but people should not touch or move any dead or sick wild birds." Okay if the gundog does it first?

Reminder:

There is more to life than this moment, you will choose to keep moving forward.

You will remember, often difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations.

You will remember that you are loved.

I'm proud of you

Miserable gloom on the weather forecast. Oh well.
Yeah, I know I should've bought this back when it was actually sunny.

It's a lovely little thing, very "old Swatch", but it needs more time under a bulb tonight than my impatience can take right now.

Food profits have increased more than 30% in Europe since 2021.

While in the US/UK they have increased nearly 200%.

There is no 'inflation' only profiteering.

I've got a "vlogger goes to Primark" video on at 2x, but she's getting excited now so it's sounding like that "everybody dance" thing that was going around.
