A house two along from me is being demolished and my house is constantly shaking so badly. With the coverage of the massive earthquake in Venezuela doing the rounds it's freaking me the hell out.

So today in a truly glorious and not at all humiliating turn of events I managed to twist my ankle in a pothole, and fall on the ground. In front of two thankfully lovely colleagues. Wicked. 5 hours later it looks like this, plus the other leg is grazed. Elevation & icepack are my friends. Harrumph.

Swollen and bruised ankle after a particularly unglamorous trip into a pothole. Harrumph.

I'm really enjoying this. It's funny, and so far pretty light-hearted. The acting and script are great. The boy who plays Egg is a joy. My favourite thing so far though is the inclusion of two of my favourite underrated English actors: Bertie Carvel and Daniel Ings. www.imdb.com/title/tt2749...

Mad dogs and English-blood women out in the midday sun. Hot work turning over that soil in Ted's magic garden! Worth it though. Note in first photo the 'you're not growing corn in my garden' corn, nearly ready to harvest. Ha ha. And photo 4, my payment, a clutch of beautiful home-grown beetroot.

Lettuces, leeks, courgettes and frowned-upon corn in the rear.
Incredibly prodigious runner beans to the left.

Before, the weedy patch formerly housing carrots & lettuces.

Same patch, now weeded and turned, ready for more planting.

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

Eyewitness account:
Good morning,
My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction.
I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend.
As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it.
We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

I saw Hamnet last night with my Mum. It was so beautifully done, & I've been thinking about it all day. I love that Maggie O'Farrell co-wrote the screenplay with Chloe Zhao, and I love that it so beautifully, & in a slightly different way to the novel, captured the complexities of love and grief.

Absolutely sickened and appalled by today's US developments. I just can't believe the Repugnicunts are getting away with this. It's WAAAY too Handmaid's Tale and utterly inhumane. My sympathies to all of the sane Americans on BSky. Wishing you strength from Aotearoa New Zealand.

Yesterday I fell off my bike when leaving the house - who flippin knows how - and bent my left ring finger back as well as bruising my left inside knee & calf. Nothing terribly serious but ouchie on the finger in particular!

Swollen left ring finger from bending it back falling off my bike. Ouch!

My first day of 2026 has been spent doing as little as possible. Read a bit, snoozed a bit, avoided any jobs. Haven't spoken to a single human. It's been blissfully quiet here all day, just sporadic rain for company. Trying to decide what to have for dinner while lying in the couch.

I met Deborah Hill-Cone when I was at Prego one day and she told me she liked my (slightly) buck teeth and wished she hadn't had hers fixed. It was both humiliating and quite charming.

HNY, all. Let's all hope it's a better year than last year's absolute shit show. I don't make resolutions because I find them a crushing weight of guilt and pressure, and also just pretty cringe, but my mot de l'année for 2026 is WINS. My hope for the year ahead is that fewer people are dicks.

Excellent. A warning I'll be happy to heed. The combination of the supremely vapid Chalamet, 2.5 hours of my life, and a story glamourising sociopathic, consequence-free American 'hustle' was my idea of hell anyway. Phew. regionfree.net/marty-suprem...

Review: Marty Supreme is an exhausting bore

★ | Obnoxiously loud and vapid, Marty Supreme is an expensive and unruly character portrait without anything resembling character.
