My beautiful cat Graham, who has fluffy black and white fur, pale green eyes and a black nose, sits beside his automatic kibble feeding machine, gazing imploringly at the camera. Why won’t lovingly chopped-up tinned venison come out of the machine, served in a warm gravy? It’s just not fair

English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys at an MTV event in their youth: Neil Tennant wears a business shirt with a small dotted black-and-white print that makes it look grey, a loud geometric-patterned black tie, and a black pork-pie hat pushed back on his head. The other one whose name I can never recall looks like a cute new-wave sailor in a yellow satin, grey-lined jacket like a slicker, a jade green-and-grey striped hoodie over a white t-shirt, with little round sunglasses and a white Dixie-cup sailor hat

My hallway thermometer (the kind designed for fish tanks, which attaches to a smooth surface with a suction cup) sticky-taped to the side of my fuse box, shows a temperature slightly above 15 degrees Celsius

Duolingo is cheating me! I nail the triple points challenge and it’s like “bitch come back tomorrow” No, excuse me!! This has pissed me off, or as I was just learning to say, “ça m’a mis en colère”

Just realised that all the mince pies I’ve been eating have been providing me with anti-5G protective helmets for #Grahamstodon

My beautiful fluffy black-and-white cat Graham sits on my lap with a small aluminium foil cup from a mince pie sitting upside-down on his head like a hat. Graham tolerates this indignity but his ears are flattening to show his discomfort
