Had a rough few days but much better today after a bit of self-indulgence & talking at several friends to unload thoughts & emotions. Thanks to all those of you who perform this service for people who are struggling.

Of course when you reach that "certain age" everybody assumes you dye your hair anyway. Even if you don't More celebrities are embracing grey hair. For other women, it can come at a cost www.theguardian.com/fashion/2026...

Olivia Colman and Lisa Bonet are among the stars going silver – but workplace ageism means many women still fear ditching the dye

Is it me or are differing opinions becoming more extreme? There have always been a few topics where this was the case but the idea that anyone who doesn't 100% agree with you on everything is an enemy seems to be spreading

I'm indulging a new hobby watching reaction videos to some music I've recently discovered. And watching people be surprised at how good it is. This is going to be the first music over bought for many years. Michael did. I didn't.

Just spent ages trying to find where I could buy something I saw someone wear on telly. I remember hearing him say the brand he liked was British but couldn't remember when or where he said it. Digging around I eventually found the brand. I can get it from Amazon but I'd rather go to an actual shop

Fuck it. I'm going to say it. I like Andy Burnham. He may not be perfect but he's better than any of the available alternatives. Yes I mostly thought the same about Starmer but I had more reservations about him

Sometimes I'll see or read something funny or interesting & I want to show it to Michael so much that it hurts Yes, I can show stuff to other people. I could show it to you. But I can't rely on you to always pretend to be amused or interested. I was so lucky to have that

I've heard/seen good reports of Burnham's speech at the Labour Party Conference. I'm going to have to listen to it arent I?

TFW you get back from the shops with a boot full of shopping, almost get hit by a post van when you're reversing which them parks in your spot while they go off to deliver a parcel. Time for a coffee I think

I need to go shopping. I have a rather incomplete list. I do not possess a GED & I need to work on my can do attitude (IYKYK)

Every so often I discover that something I have been discussing with friends is actually an existing philosophical concept. Maybe I'm a philosopher without realising it www.instagram.com/reel/Dd1ZRN6...

The housework job I dislike most is cleaning the bathroom. Specifically the bath. It means leaning over with your back at an angle that's especially difficult. Also, I just discovered that if I try to rinse out the basin using the shower head, something leaks.

So. Went to Rammy on the bus because last time I came on a weekday parking was awful. Today there's loads. And I got a bit more stuff than I expected so I'm lugging bags. What's more irritating is that I've just remembered I have s wheelie bag in my boot!

This photo came up on FB memories. It says it was 16 years ago. One of the earliest Tweetups. I'm not even sure where any of these people are now

The problem I have with SM is how difficult it is to discuss nuance and the way disagreement, however slight, can be taken as being adversarial because you are exposing yourself to people who don't know you, your politics, your background, your experience.

Yeah. Because UK pensions are so generous & it would be really easy for pensioners to get a part time job to top up their income with all those 21st century skills they have

Several times already this morning I've wanted to tell or show somebody something. Nothing consequential enough yo post on SM but just, y'know, pass comment. I suppose this is why people living alone talk to themselves

On the road up to my village (no pavements) over the years I've encountered cows, sheep, dogs and deer. The current hazard seems to be pigs (no photo, I was driving). They seem to have become a regular feature over the past week

here was nothing pressing to get up for. Until I remembered that I was supposed to be putting meat in the slow cooker for tea. 🙄 All done now & coffee made ☕
