Yesterday I did something I’ve never done in 52 years of life: I got the MMR jab. Apparently the NHS are just getting round to vaccinating all those who missed it when they were kids.

From the home of #DoctorWho in Cardiff, wishing you a happy St David's Day! ❤️❤️➕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Happy St David’s Day everyone! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I just watched the film Gone Girl for the first time. I’ve seen most of David Fincher’s films so I know he can be an unpredictable filmmaker who is not above using shocking twists in his work. I cannot describe how relieved I was that the cat survived.

Luna demanded daddy-snuggles when I got home. How could I refuse? #CatsOfBluesky

#Ghibli IRL

Vicky has been ill with a sore throat today, so Luna has been keeping her company all day. Many snuggles. ❤️ #CatsOfBluesky

With Amazon fully taking over the James Bond films, I would love to be hopeful. But as they are one of those companies that refers to anything creative as “content”, my hopes aren’t high. I’m not one of those reactionaries who are already screaming “RIP 007”, but I’m steadfastly ambivalent.

Vicky and I went to lunch in town today and we ran into one of our regular cat friends. No idea what their name is, to us they’re just The Big Black Fluff. #CatsOfBluesky

Beard diary, week 14: before and after a proper trim at a proper barber. Hot towels, the works. I feel so chilled now. First time I’ve been to a barber since about 2007. I’ve kept it the same length, it’s just less wild. I look like Edward VII.

From a few years ago. Me and the two loves of my life. ❤️❤️#CatsOfBluesky #CatDad #Caturday

Sometimes it feels like Luna would happily sit like this for hours with me tickling her ears. And if I didn’t regularly need the loo, I’d happily sit like this for hours too. #CatsOfBlueSky #CatDad

I got an #OnlyConnect semi-final sequence question on the second clue! (Alien directors.)

I watched The Electrical Life Of Louis Wain yesterday with Vicky and Luna expecting to watch a sweet and quirky story about a guy who drew cat pictures. I did not expect to cry uncontrollably for a solid ten minutes after the end. The film is so beautiful and personal. It felt like it spoke to me.

Beard diary, week 13: bed beard. 😮

Happy #Caturday! This is the extent of my plans for the weekend.

Welches Meadow in #Leamington. Thanks to a worn section of river bank it stays flooded for several months every year. It’s very chilly this morning, so the mist over the field is beautiful.

Last Tuesday, Katy Brand put this up on instagram and made me think about the problems of being an ally - in particular to women - so I wrote this thecosmicshamblesnetwork.substack.com/p/why-can-we...

Beard diary, week 12: after 3 months, I appear to gone straight to the scruffy Santa stage, much earlier than I expected.

I heard a great line about Nazis, don’t know if it’s old or new, but I like it. “If we don’t punch them now, we’ll have to shoot them later.”

After we adopted Luna, we fostered a kitten who we called Errol. We kept him in our guest bedroom / foster room and visited him regularly to feed him and keep him company. He loved exploring, playing and crawling over me. Last photo is him with his eventual adoptive brother Wesley. #CatsOfBlueSky

I encountered the local pirate cat on my way to work this morning! She looks very judgey with her single eye but she’s really sweet and friendly. #CatsOfBlueSky

Wow, pretty good going in such a short space of time. (Gotta say, BlueSky is kind of my internet happy place at the moment. I know it's entirely possible it won't last, but for now I'm really enjoying the chilled nostalgic feeling of what The Bad Place used to be like years ago.)

THIS!

If you need a bit of cozy wholesome TV to cheer you up when you’re ill, I totally recommend anything with Tim Dunn on one of the U channels. The Architecture The Railways Built or Secrets Of The London Underground (with Siddy Holloway) are pure comfort blanket TV for me.

I’ve come down with a cold but Luna is keeping me company. #CatsOfBluesky

It's nice to occasionally work from home, but my coworker Luna has issues respecting my boundaries. I think I might have to report her to HR. #CatsOfBlueSky
