Exiled from Lancashire. Still rather fond of dogs, cows, beer, books and The Beloved. Lots of dogs on my social media feed but that's only because cows can't type. Or can they...

Just checked and we received 2 emails on 03/08, but nothing since.

We renewed late last year, and then got an email saying TT was being taken over by a company called Rise, but all would remain the same. Bugger only knows what will happen once BT get involved!

Too hard. Give us a clue!

Delightful. But what have you done with the house guests?

Being from the foothills of the famed mound, I have just ordered a t-shirt with the legend "Pendle Witch Trials, 1612. They Missed One." I shall wear it with pride on all future visits oop north!

I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill.

That'll keep you occupied for a while!

Thanks, Ian. That's tonight's telly-viewing sorted!

This. Exactly this.

You're asking a lot of her single brain cell.

Hmmm. As a xylophonist with the local Youth Orchestra about a million years ago, I don't remember any radiators in draughty church halls. But I can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Silent Night at one and the same time. Can she?

If anyone has HBO Max could I please suggest you waste 38 minutes of your life watching 'God Was The Bigger Elvis.' Delightful and sad in equal measures.

I have just been in my email account and discovered 76 messages in my junk box since this morning. I think I'm on some sort of list! All deleted with one single flick of the finger.

Thank you, this is now on my viewing list. I'm hoping for a cross between 'Three Salons in Blackpool' and Victoria Wood's 'Is it on t'trolley?'

They wanted me to spend £9.95 on a 'free' router so I said no and they said I could have it for nothing!

Seem to have spent my entire morning renewing our broadband contract only for things to stay exactly as they are for another 2 years. Not sure whether to begrudge the time that feels wasted or rejoice in not having increased bills!

I was today years old when I discovered that the fingers on my right hand are not the same sizes as on my left. If ever I have to order a 'finger of whiskey' I will use middle finger, left hand as a measure!

If there was a category for 'book that surprises every time you read it' (and why isn't there?) I'd like to nominate After the Funeral. A super, underrated, book.

Following my moans last week re not getting post, we got an avalanche of it yesterday including the missing birthday cards, a hospital letter, two from Govt departments and others that Royal Mail obviously consider non-essential. I stand by my claim that they're not fit for purpose.

The chap charged with ensuring porn sites comply with OFCOM regulations is called George Lusty. It's a job he was born to!

Porridge for breakfast?

Pizza Express, Woking have just had a cancellation for a birthday party this evening if anyone's interested. Seems AMW will be unable to honour the booking.

Kind of him to offer though!

I haven't - yet. But when I do, I'll delete this one too. I'm finding all social media fairly toxic right now.

I'd be more tempted to put him in one of those nice jackets that fasten at the back, and ensure his comfort by padding the walls of his room.

Kemi will be giving a speech about it any minute.

Interesting. What happened - or didn't - at breakfast?

Happy New Year to one and all.

Time for my annual rant about the cost of house insurance. Renewal quote is +£240 on last year and we've still never made a claim in the 23 years we've lived here. Harsh. My weekend will be spent shopping around. All suggestions gratefully received!

Today I have discovered that a generous dollop of Boursin stirred through when heating elevates an ok bubble & squeak to a thing of beauty. You're welcome!

Eastbourne Liz @lizzieg999.bsky.social · 24/12/2025
Quite. I'm sorry. It's just that the reindeer I've seen have been different. No less beautiful, obviously. Just different.

Eastbourne Liz @lizzieg999.bsky.social · 24/12/2025
I hadn't realised reindeer were so small. Or labrador-ish. Silly me...

Thank you, Tim. And thanks for the books. Keep them coming! Merry Christmas. x.

I'm sure he was completely unconcerned at your level of discomfort!

Comfortable.

We did, thanks. Might not feel quite the same tomorrow when I'm the one with the hangover!!

Staff Christmas lunch today. Otherwise known as me and the Beloved in Spoons. One of us barely drinks and the other is barely sober. 'Twas ever so...

I think you're crediting the gorgeous but thick choc thug with more brain cells than she could ever aspire to. More to be pitied than blamed...

Now I know why the Government is skint. Just received a letter from the DWP telling me I'll be eligible for the state pension in June 2030, and that they'll contact me 4 months ahead of my due date! What a monumental waste of money...

Only been back once since I left in '91. Changed beyond all recognition!

Thanks, Ian. That's my Thursday evening telly-box viewing taken care of!

Sounds interesting. Hard to suddenly start to write essays again!
