I don't know why, but I have a feeling Poland could be a dark horse this year... #Eurovision2025

Honestly lost track of how many times I've had this on over the past week. #Eurovision2025

Well, an IKEA trip was bound to happen at some point after moving into my own place. Went today and somehow spent under £100 - don’t ask me how I managed that. 😛 Anyhow, I did manage to build this on my own…though not without a bit of frustration with getting the cross-pieces in the right places. 😛

Nice opening sequence, but can we please get on with actually showing the entrants? #EthnikosTelikos

Eurovision tickets have been purchased once again. BUT this time around, instead of attending one of the previews, I'll be at the live show for Semi-Final 1. CANNOT WAIT! 😁

What the fuck, FIA? This is absolutely batshit insane.

Wish I didn’t have to wait another week for my next piercing, but that’s how it is. Quite looking forward to it, though - it’s been a bit too long since my last ones in November 2023, and I think it’s about time I treated myself to something new and shiny. 🙂

Nice lunch with my parents and some friends from church, United win on penalties against Arsenal…decent Sunday so far!

Hosted my parents for dinner tonight. Went really well. Now chilling in front of the TV with a glass of wine. 😊

No, Apple, I don’t want three months of Apple Music to go with my new AirPods Pro. I’m very happy with what I’m getting from Spotify.

Glass of wine and Match of the Day. Lovely Saturday night 😊

Unexpected evening partially dismantling and rebuilding one of my recently-rebuilt Lego models. Realised I’d misconstructed a chunk of it, and it needed quite a bit to be taken apart so I could sort it. Annoying thing is sorting the mistake itself out was a 20-second job!

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Well, my takeaway pizza has been a bit disappointing (hate it when places have a thicker base), but this Moldovan pinot grigio is actually quite nice. £6 a bottle can't be sniffed at!

Oops. Looks like I’m getting something new and shiny in a few weeks’ time…😛

Wasn't expecting to have to call my energy company this morning to clarify a bill issue, but needs must. Pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to stay on hold to them and also that the issue was resolved quickly! 🙂

Think I may treat myself to a fresh ear piercing next year. It's been a while.

it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.

92% on my first OU assignment of the year? I’ll take hat! 😁

Blond era me in 2014 was definitely a choice…😂

Well, I've finally caved, and decided to join Bluesky.
