Mallett's Mallet, but for selecting a new pope

I've just made sticky toffee pudding, and I'm at the part where I'm to leave it for 30 minutes while the hot toffee soaks into the sponge and everyone's getting really tense and starting to pace

I would LOVE it if we could have something in place for words and names that are Initialisms, acronyms, and abbreviations, like an ALT text, but it tells you what they mean, because keeping up with the news and understanding the news are not the same, especially when I make up my own meanings

Unless it's a Mini, a Beetle, a VW campervan, a DeLorean, a Micro Machine, a Reliant Robin, the family car from Bigfoot & the Henderson's, the Morris's, or the car I saw recently that was shaped like a garden pea, I don't know what car names mean. It's just shape and colour.

Off to Llandudno later, and the weather is spectacularly minging

Blows my mind that people can describe their car by just saying the make and expect you to know what it looks like

This guy!

I have no driving lesson this Tuesday, so it's like my very own half term.

Fascism

Me and my squad reading your skeets

Thinking back to last year when my phone kept giving me asteroid themed news stories whenever I accidentally swiped my phone in the wrong direction and I joked that they were 'soft launching' a potential collision 👀 news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

Do you pronounce guillotine and croissant as: 1. Gil-uh-teen and Kwas-on or 2. Gee-yo-teen and Kroi-sant or 3. Gil-uh-teen and Kroi-sant or 4. Gee-yo-teen and Kwas-on I do 1, but I'm not sure which is the proper way.

My dog's just farted and it sounded like the first note in Van Halen's 'Jump'

"Meta has spent over $100 billion on VR"

Had a lovely driving lesson today. Did a bit of reversing!

My new favourite 'worst sort of people' are the ones that start foaming in the comments when a couple are decorating their new home and they choose not to keep the stained, scratched, and very minging 1960's wallpaper they uncovered and instead decide to decorate their home however they want.

Interrupting my headache to show you a tub of evaporated stuff I found doing the housework

My head hurts

You've been murdered. Who do you want on the case?

Today's feels

I'm pretty sure I would have given the Cadbury's Milk Tray man the ick as he watched me demolish both layers

I woke just after 5am to the sound of my dog growling at my bedroom door

I did emergency stops in my last lesson, and so far, that's my favourite part of driving.

The Super Bowl is actually pronounced 'Superbly'

Repost with your apocalypse skill. I can spin wool and process raw fleece. I can knit.

Me and the dog tonight looking at my clothes, a desk chair, books, shoes, coat hangers, stuff for the tip in bags, and bottles of vitamins and general bits I piled high onto my bed because I was going to vacuum the carpet and put everything back in its place but I never did
