Meteorologists:
There's a cold snap on the way

Tabloids:
Is it from the east?

I'll never get bored of this freaky plastic thing
A selfie of me, but I have a piece of magnifying plastic over the lower half of my face making my chin and mouth look humongous, and it's cut out my nose so my face looks like a fish, in a Disney sort of way. I should be doing my accounts.

What she saw was far worse
I'm holding an A4 magnifying plastic sheet in front of my dog's side profile. She's looking ahead. Her head looks huge and her body small I'm holding an A4 magnifying plastic sheet in front of my dog's face. She's turned her head slightly towards me. Her head looks huge and her body small I'm holding an A4 magnifying plastic sheet in front of my dog's face. She's looking directly at me. I'm holding an A4 magnifying plastic sheet in front of my dog's face. She's pretty pissed off at me, or my giant magnified head has freaked her out.

Me, tonight, looking out the window for the aurora, even though we have 100% cloud cover and a 35% chance of storm.
A little blonde girl with blue eyes peers through an open door of a doll house. Her head is larger than the door and she doesn't look happy.

My kid is 18!

MY. KID. IS. 18!

What sort of midlife crisis is en vogue? I need ideas.
Me as a 26 year old (maybe 27) sat on an old leather chair with my chonky baby in my arms/on my lap. We both have the big freeview TV remote, and I also have some sort of Tomy toy in my other hand.

I beg your finest fucking pardon?
Screenshot of my previous post which says "period cramps be crampin'" and underneath, a picture of Ripley from Aliens looking at her tummy has been labelled "adult content"

Period cramps be crampin'
Ripley in one of the many Alien(s) films. She's on a bed, dressed in a white nightie which is pulled up over her belly. She looks down in horror (because I think a baby alien pops out her tummy) while arms from unknown people (midwives?) hold her down. Honestly, it's pretty gruesome.

She stole my headphones earlier because I needed to focus on work and now she's in a patronising supergroup
A black dog with a white patch on her front sits between an old sofa and a coffee table. Around her neck are my headphones. She stole them and somehow managed to get them around her neck. She understands the errors of her ways. My left ear is really soggy.

The kids are into cassettes? The.kids.are.into.cassettes!

[Alt. A small cheap cassette recorder that's decorated in gweni stickers and stuff, plays an ELO tape. It sounds a bit warped. A dog barks and presents a ball but is ignored due to her unsanctioned sass]

I thought a green tea with the smaller caffeine content would help appease the cold turkey gods, but my brain's like
Dennis Nedry at his computer desk in Jurassic Park. He's looking smug because he's a tech guy (obvs), and he knows something we don't know. But he did do that little "ah ah ah. You didn't say the magic word" animation, so gotta give him credit for his creativity. Fair do's.

I didn't have a single coffee yesterday and slept like a normie
Ripley in one of the Alien films, or maybe it's Pride and Prejudice because she's wearing an old timey white nightshirt, I don't know, I only like 'Aliens' the second film, sorry. Anyway, she's sleeping peacefully in one of those cryosleep pods. Looks comfy, but i'd get a bit claustrophobic if it were me.

Does this shadow look a bit like a side profile of Tim Curry?
The edge of a cream Welsh dresser and my wall. A lamp illuminates the dresser and casts a shadow on the wall. The top part of the dresser is sort of scalloped and I think the shadow looks like Tim Curry

Today's Lora aura
The Groke from the Moomins. She's a misunderstood misery that freezes everything she touches. But she just wants cuddles.

I failed my driving test!

Stalled as I was pulling out to go round a roundabout.

Considered opening the door and rolling out at one point.

Also, apparently, it's not "saucy" for a room full of learners to put their car keys and licenses on a small table in the middle of the room
Richard E Grant as Withnail in the film Withnail & I. He's in the front seat of the car with a ciggy in hand, and he's looking shit but sexy - just like me, but in a lady way! His buddy 'I' is in the backseat looking down at his legs, much like the EXTRA assessor I had for my test. That's not going to throw anyone off, is it?

Anyway, back from my driving lesson and my first mock is on Monday. Gonna relax now and try not to worry.

I drive so much better when I've got good posture, and I'm perched on my seat instead of slumped like a sack of crap
A black and white image combo from ye olden times. On the left, a young boy sits on a school desk with his hands on his hips and his feet dangling down. His posture is fire, and he knows it (between you and me, I think it's a bit overkill). The second image is the same setup, but this time, the boy's back is curved, his hands are on his hips, and his chin is down - this is poor posture (so they say)

Monday
A full sized puppet head of E.T. His big blue eyes look down to the right of the image, one eyelid half closed, the other more open. The latex on his face has disintegrated over time, exposing the inner frame of the puppet skull. Cables and wires are wrapped around his exposed mechanical neck. Poor fella.

I can do a pretty reasonable Kermit the Frog impression until someone wants to hear it, and although it's totally unrelated to driving, this is how I *know* I'm going to fail my driving test in a few weeks.
An old bedraggled kermit the frog toy sat in a car seat. He looks like he's soothing himself by holding around his knees

A broken train track. One side says Tuesday, and the other side says Thursday. Between the tracks holding both sides together is Superman. It says "Wednesday" over him. I don't really know what this means, I just wrote it.
