Got a bunch of new, sealed, never used vintage makeup for FREE at the car boot sale the other day. Which now means I have *two copies* of the same shade of an 80s lipstick in the most delectably Sarah from Labyrinth colour.

Me: receives Switch 2, sees branding facing out from the dock, immediately makes a paper template for stickyback plastic so I can wood veneer that baby.

Babe, stop pitching how your tiny bag is 'surprisingly spacious': I'm the girl who carries (at least) three multitools with me, I need an UNsurprisingly spacious bag to carry all my cool shit. This whole 'tiny dainty bag that keeps you vulnerable' shit doesn't work for me. Mine is full of weapons.

Lip Up Fatty wasn't what I expected to hear at an 80th birthday party tonight, but it was kind of wonderful.

So, now I understand why I'd never seen anybody recommend The Company of Wolves before.

Got stopped by a woman today who had to tell me my outfit was incredible, and the cutie waitrNB said they loved my hair. My outfit WAS incredible, and my hair DID look great; it's nice when your people identify themselves in the wild 😆

I am so ready for the Worst Season to be done with and for the Best Season to lead into the Second Best Season and all the times when the whole world (or at least my house) feels like themed entertainment

Today I covered this beautiful song, which opens Noah Kahan's latest album, and gladly bookends a cruel summer for me. Would love if you'd take a listen🧡

I get annoyed by pink tax, but especially when it's taking advantage of a demographic of women who perhaps don't have great knowledge of DIY stuff. In this case, sandpaper. 50 quid for a set of three, one-use disposable "cuticle files" is taking the mickey.

I'm so tired of the trope of "mournful version of usually upbeat song on trailer, as shorthand for gravitas". It pretty much instantly puts me off something these days. I am so tired.

I know I first felt truly seen when I heard "I'm only happy when it rains" but I'm so done with summer. I'm craving the smell and sound of grey rainy days, milk tea, candlelight, eating pies, baking cookies, WEARING LAYERS... For the love of dog, can it be autumn now, please? Gandalf? GANDALF?

If we can't have the obvious choice, I'm going with Jason Statham for Dad of War. It's basically what he plays in most of his films anyway, and he's always kind of great at it.

Home after a week away and my big boy Spark's so happy to see me that he's singing and dancing...but his claws have grown so sharp over the last week that he's ripping me to shreds. Poor little guy knows 'Ow!' and he's so confused right now.

Hoo boy, I heard a few seconds of the intro to Walk of Life and then it was firmly lodged in there. Thankfully a snippet of House of Fun came along to dislodge it. But who watches the watchers? What will dislodge Madness?

Awooo-ooo! It's time for some Friday afternoon cartoons, with my acoustic cover of the DuckTales theme. It's a certified banger, and I'd love if you'd take a listen!

On of many ways I write is by mishearing things. Going "That's genius!", checking, realising that wasn't the wording at all, and then adopting the orphan phrase I'd misheard as my own. It's such a pretty thing, to have a note crammed full of mondegreens that now belong somewhere.

Really saddened by the news about Bill Oddie. He was a real one.

Given the heatwaves, I was reminded of this incredible song I covered a while back, and how the man himself said it was a great rendition of his song! One of the coolest and most surreal things that has ever happened to me.

I'd like to thank the brothers who made Homestar Runner for me never being able to read the phrase "thatched-roof cottages" without hearing it repeated in my head in a certain voice. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

The recent(ish) Noah Kahan album is absolutely a grower. I really enjoy his working-man-shacket-aesthetic.

"That was tense." She said after basically every scene of Slow Horses.

If you vaguely remember the National Treasure films fondly, don't rewatch them (they're actually full of awful, objectionable shit) instead watch Fountain of Youth. It's a fun romp with cool setpieces that tickles the Indiana Jones itch. And Natalie Portman's wardrobe is *chef's kiss*

When did Guy Ritchie become one of those guys whose name I see on the credits and go 'Oh, this is gonna be good then!'?

I finally saw Project Hail Mary and it was great. I don't usually trust the concensus, because people often like edgy, cynical tales where bad things happen to good people and we're all supposed to revel in the trauma porn. But it wasn't that at all. It was a lovely film. ...And what a soundtrack.

There have been a lot of weird, ill-advised choices in The Magic Faraway Tree so far, but having my wife turn up for THE LAST 20 MINUTES ONLY is the worst.

For a game where the minute-to-minute gameplay wasn't great and I had serious objections to some systemic design decisions, I sure think about Hell Is Us a lot.

Taylor Swift's Toy Story 5 anthem has been living rent-free in my mind since it dropped, so it HAD to be this week's cover. Would love if you'd take a listen 🧡 youtu.be/RYqdUPvuAAE
