Bugger, I wish I'd thought of this. Decades I've wasted on acknowledging shitty humans, decades.😂 Dogs are, as always, so much wiser than humans.

In relationship news, Persey has a boyfriend. He's 10 and Persey's 2½ so a bit of an age gap, especially in dog years...kind of an Anna Nicole Smith and Howard J Marshall thing going on.😂 Persey's also about ¼ of his size.😄 Anyway, meet Frank.🐾🥰🐾

My entire team (5 of us) is either sick (I still have the BPPV going on but most of the time I can work with that) or on annual leave. 🫨😲 This leaves me in charge, and doing four other people's job as well as my own. Eeek!😬😂

I won a lucky dip on the lottery last night. I mean, I appreciate the gesture from them and I don't want to come across as ungrateful and all but, well, it's not really cutting the mustard. I need a little more than that please!😬😄

Toothache. Bad toothache. 😬😥 Quite grumpy about it. ABs not worked. Have appointment for tomorrow but my BPPV is so awful right now I'm not sure I can make it. It's too bad for me to walk there, but also too close to get a cab without looking fucking ridiculous.🙄

Last full day looking after Peg.🐈‍⬛🥰🐈‍⬛ She wasn't keen on getting up this morning.😆 Also, the way she was lying meant I had to lie diagonally across the bed so not to disturb her.😂 Back across town tomorrow to my flat...where there are NO* animals.😭😭😭 *next door's dog but I can't snuggle up to her.😥

Peggy joined me in the bedroom a while ago, a fair bit earlier than usual.🐈‍⬛🥰🐈‍⬛ And I think she's a Cat Stevens fan as she's been purring like a tank since I popped him on for tunes. 😂

Peggy sitting...she came through to my room before me & 'bagsied' the bed.🐈‍⬛🥰 🐈‍⬛ I'm lying on t'other side but right at the edge & not actually under the duvet because I don't want to disturb her by ruffling about with it.😬 And I *definitely* can't move the blanket or I'll be in Very Big Trouble™.🤣

Lunch out today at a delightful vegan cafe just minutes from my flat. I'm not vegan but this place is just lovely. Delicious food & epic coffee. Owners are charming and always up for a chat should you do wish. They also play vinyl in there, it sells plants & local artwork, plus there's a book swap.

Popped to Leith market today to meet a friend for chats and stall wanderings.😊 Lots of lovely dogs there too...this was the only one that stood still long enough for me to take a photo.🐾😂🐾 Last weekend for the lobster roll stall, so I got one for lunch.😋

AC/DC are playing the castle tonight. If the wind was in the right direction I'd be able to hear them but sadly not tonight. The Who played a couple of years ago and it was clear as a bell. Bonus concert for free.😊🎉

Emergency eye appointment today. They put drops in my left eye to open up my pupil so they could see better in examining it. This was taken over an hour afterwards...look how freaky it is!😂😮😂 It's just about back to normal now...eight hours later.😬😆

Interesting observation...when I left twitter last month, multiple people asked me for my email saying they wanted to keep in touch. How many out of them have I heard from?... two!🙄🤬🤣 And one, an irl friend, hasn't bothered to check on me even once.😞 Maybe not the friends I thought they were then.🤷‍♀️

Been away a bit from here. Anxiety and panic attack shite.😥 Ended up staying with very lovely friends that scooped me up and took care of me. Back home today and feeling grateful for the good folk out there. Pretty much done with twitter though.

Got taken out for lunch to my favourite restaurant today...😋 That's marmalade ice cream in the last pic. The chef gave it a creme brulee type topping.😋 This restaurant is practically perfect in every way. I want to live there.😂

@irvinewelsh.bsky.social As I'm sure you're aware, Hibs home match today. I stay about 5mins walk from the stadium & although Leith has been my home for over 15 years, I've never heard so clearly, from my bedroom window, them belting out Sunshine on Leith.😍 Made me a bit emotional.🥹

I went to one of the farmers' markets here this morning. I was quite restrained but still managed to spend c£40.😱 But...*but*, the guy on the Levantine stall gave me free falafel, saving me a whole 75p so, winning really.👀😂 Follow me for more savvy financial saving tips.😂

Another *very* fine lunch at Barry Fish on The Shore. Crab focaccia, trout pastrami & fishcakes. Shared between 2, I'm not that much of a piggy.😂 Sadly they'd no marmalade ice cream left. Again.😭 I'm starting to question its existence.😂And a pic of The Shore looking quite nice in the sunshine.😍

I had a lovely day planned...lunch with a friend at probably my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. The sun's even out! But shortly after breakfast I had a *big* BPPV episode, so now I'm doing nothing but staying in, trying not to move my bastard spinny head.😥 And I don't even have any Easter eggs.😭
