Rod Stewart was all alone tied up eating from the bins and covered in wounds. He also had heart worm. Hard to believe how well he looks now ❤️

There was an ad with a ‘pub rock’ version a few years ago. That was even worse.

Shouty men trying to show how wacky they are. It’s a McVitie’s advert.

That was actually an incredibly graphic scene if I remember correctly?

There are some really nice slip-on shoes available now. They’ve been a godsend for my kids.

The place I walk my dogs is known locally as ‘the mountain’ but similarly you can drive to the summit.

I adore this single brain-celled life-form.

I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this

Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs.

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.”

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.”

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with.

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

Unpredictable at the moment. I’m taking the dogs up the local trail shortly and never know what to put on, it’s cooler but liable to chuck it down with rain. :-)

Aggie a year ago today. I had no chance really.

Skehan, Oliver and Contaldo. All on the same show. Just home from walking the dogs, and turned it on to see who’s on this morning. Julie Lin though. 🥰

It’s utterly abhorrent what you’ve had to go through, I’m so sorry. Wishing you all nothing but the best for the future.

I hate that my stomach drops every time I see a video/graphic that brings me joy as ‘is this AI?’ springs to mind. It’s like VAR for the arts. Glad this is a human, though.

One year ago today, a little kitten turned up. I wasn’t a cat person, but told that fluffy little croissant that I’d keep her safe until the nice lady from the rescue could take her the next day. Anyway, she now owns my manly man-cave and gives me regular bitch-slaps. Love you Agatha!🥰

THAT MORNING:-I’ll keep you safe, little kitty in a cage. Don’t get comfy though.

THAT NIGHT:- I would die for you, bitey ball of fluff. Your name is Agatha and I am essentially your slave.

The video to this was filth. Great song and album - wasn’t it a ‘scratch and sniff’ cover?

People now recognise me through my dogs. I am ‘the man with the dogs’, not Ben.
