Bought myself a new, three quarter length leather trench coat. Well, drunk Sarah did. Thrilled with her decisions. Fell like I was 25 again when I wore it today. 🤣

Ever had someone claim to love you, & you're like 'fucking hell, what's it like if you hate me?'
That came about two months ago. When my friend cried because someone did something & I didn't react
It got to the point where people were taking the piss online locally. Forgetting I am a human being.

My neighbour, said to me 'I don't have many friends. Thanks for being kind'. I mean, I think she's absolutely great. I am happy to be a friend.
Remember, what people present hides a multitude of insecurities. It doesn't take a lot of effort to be kind.

A 20 something interrogated me coz when I told him my sal, & my industry is Med Comms, he genuinely thought I was lying

I spent an hour last night having a heated debate with two blokes who not only think that Graham Hancock is a 'credible' historian, but also that the pyramids were built by aliens, & they also moved the stones from Pembrokeshire to Wiltshire for Stonehenge. Absolutely bat shit crazy.
Loved it 🤣🤣

I'm not on here much, but I am so excited to share the cover of my forthcoming Catullus translation, featuring an amazing painting by Eduardo Mata Icasa (called "Nature of Emptiness"). As soon as I saw the painting, I knew no other work of art could more perfectly capture how I think about Catullus.

I've connected with very few ppl on dating apps because I am picky.
But, for too long they've all been allowed to treat women like a commodity.
So, basically the minute they say or do something stupid, I am terrorising them.
It's going so well. It's fucking hilarious to be fair.

My friend: 'What happened to your friend X'
Me: 'She sent me a weird break up text on a Monday at 08.30. 3 months later she posted a book I lent her back with my full name on the envelope. I live alone...'
Her: 'what did you do?'
Me: 'put in back on the shelf'
Her husband spat his wine in my face 🤣
