When I don't reply to a text right away, it's because I am thoughtfully composing a reply in my own good time. When you don't reply to a text right away, it's because you are a disrespectful, ungrateful person trying to convey how much you hate me, and/or are dead.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Miss this. So freaking beautiful. And peaceful. And calm. #Finland ❤️

Unless you have one it's really difficult to comprehend the exasperation and exhaustion that comes with having an obsessive child. I'm sure this will work out well for her as an adult, but it is so hard to deal with on a daily basis.

My new tactic for dealing with life is going to be lying. Telling people I'm doing something to resolve a situation while completely ignoring it. Seems like the easiest way.

Not happy to be back in Cheltenham. Too many bad memories here and local companies still trying to scam me. But I've fed the birds in my tiny garden and my roses are sprouting, and that makes me feel a little better.

Back in England. A really fun week away from the everyday stress. Already getting alerts from my brain that there are probably 1000+ things I should be really worried about. Delaying the inevitable misery by not looking at any email or WhatsApp notifications. Might never check personal email again.

A French way of saying something is tip-top, especially a fine wine, is c’est le petit Jésus en culotte de velours. It means “it’s the baby Jesus in velvet underpants.”

At London Weather PLC we believe you CAN reinvent the classics. If you've noticed something different in the air this Jan and Feb it's because we've rolled out Cold Plus™ - a new type of cold that penetrates right to the marrow and keeps working for up to 24 hours. Try it with Misery Drizzle today!

By some miracle (stubbornness, resilience and determination) I have managed to complete all my essential tasks today. Just cleaning and packing to do tomorrow 🙌🏻

When the people with all the power are the ones yelling loudest about freedom of speech it’s usually because they’re trying to drown out everyone else’s.

Was really struggling to get out of bed but this put some blood in my veins. music.youtube.com/watch?v=E1ZP...

Once you learn to do this you can no longer relate to those posts about being up all night remembering some faux pas you committed 4 years ago. Liberating in many ways.

Great little vid. Was just thinking about this the other day. Thought it was Tesco specific. youtu.be/0NHv6owsCvw?...

8 hours after my electricity went off I finally figured out how to fix it. What a drama. Very thankful it didn't end up costing anything.

Are you single today? Deceive people by walking around with a bunch of flowers. Then smack them repeatedly against a bus shelter to add intrigue.

Need to do one more invoice and a couple of quotes. My neck feels swollen and my head hurts 😔

Happy valentine's day! I like how lots of ppl are writing inclusive articles about relationship failures for those of us without a significant other. Makes it much less miserable.

Feel like absolute crap, just in time for my arctic holiday where it will be -7⁰ 😔

I'm fascinated by this idea and convinced it's the reason for some inbuilt fears. E.g fear of heights. No doubt our ancient ancestors saw many ppl fall to their deaths scrambling around cliffs and such.

Finally reached the point where I'm happy to leave some decisions to fate. There's no need for my interference. In truth that's how it always is. Control is an illusion.

I know there are much more important things going on in the world but I enjoyed every paragraph of this story, including the use of the word “prat”. ‘One witness is heard shouting: “David you will end up having a stroke doing that, sit down.”’ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Might have to spend the night working. I'm usually asleep by 9pm so not sure how I'm going to stay awake. Lots of sugar maybe. Coffee was a disaster last time.

In order to serve you better, we have decided to serve you worse.

When one door closes, lock it securely, along with all your other doors and windows, before any inspirational quotes get in.

This is a powerful song if you're feeling down about yourself. youtu.be/n5aMav6q-o0?...

Think I might mute posts about musk and trump. I'll know when the war starts. Don't need a running commentary.

These are making me chuckle. Might have to get this.

Struggling today. Wednesdays might be my least productive day 😮‍💨

After being slightly afraid of some negative reaction from selling myself too hard to the wrong people I am now intent on poking the hornets nest. Want to see how far I can take it before there are consequences. Getting really annoyed at the lack of consequences.

Between 2022 and 2024 there was someone I wanted to share some personal and professional information with but didn't really feel that I could trust them, and today I found out that instinct was correct. 🙌🏻

Started reading one of the Richard Scarry books last night. Never had them as a kid. Parents would have thought they were too American, but I love them. And it struck me that my child is too old for them. Already.

Police came round a minute ago because a neighbour says their car was stolen off the street during the night. But I reckon either they forgot where they parked it or it's an insurance fraud. Sadly I will never know the truth. No one steals cars off the street these days though do they?

Maybe setting fire to my clothes would warm me up.

I’m actually so sick of being cold, can’t remember a time when I wasn’t cold

Getting fed up with having to wear three layers of clothes to stay warm. Another 3 months of winter to go 😥
