Happy 5th anniversary to the time this happened over on that other place.

2026 is becoming the new fucking 2016 for taking all the good people too soon.

The only blade of grass left in my garden that’s not dead last night when it started raining.

Shout out to anyone else of a certain age who automatically thinks of this every time the solar eclipse is mentioned.

Knew the answer to a biology question at a pub quiz yesterday. Not because I remembered the answer from learning it at school, but because I could remember all of the lyrics of ‘Reproduction’ from Grease 2.

I don’t like to brag but I am 50 now and yet just managed to thread a needle without wearing my glasses after only 27 attempts!

Years later and this is still one of my favourite news stories. Partly for the headline, but mainly for the wording in brackets they felt needed to be used.

Jurassic Park is on TV, which makes it the perfect time to once again remember this glorious piece of interaction.

Apparently it’s 11 years today since I discovered that adding googly eyes to the tap on a wine box makes it look like Shaun the Sheep.

In this heat, pretend you’re on an all inclusive holiday by having a buffet style lunch of curry, roast potatoes, a spring roll, chicken nuggets, a steak, and a cheese omelette, all on a plate that’s one size up from a saucer, washed down with 14 beers and a cocktail.

In this heat, pretend you're on holiday abroad by drinking beer at 8am and then going to Asda wearing a bikini and flip flops to buy 4 giant bags of crisps and a bottle of water.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that the ideal place to have a washing machine filter is so far down the machine that it’s virtually impossible to put anything underneath it to catch the water from it.

If you’re of a certain age you’ll probably still remember the defining moment when your mum finally decided you didn’t have to wear jelly shoes with straps any more and, at last, you were allowed a slip on pair instead.

Genuinely gutted to hear that Anthony Head has died. From the Nescafé Gold Blend guy to the dastardly Rupert Mannion in Ted Lasso, he’s always been wonderful. Though, to me, he’ll always be the brilliant Rupert Giles.

When a caterpillar reaches the stage where it has eaten loads and loads, just before it starts to build its chrysalis, it should then be known as a faterpillar.

The 3 stages of British people and the weather. 1. WHERE IS THE SUN? WHY IS IT ALWAYS RAINING? WILL WE EVER SEE SOME SUNSHINE? BRITISH WEATHER SUCKS! 2. YAY! SUNSHINE! SO HAPPY! 3. IT'S TOO HOT. I THINK THE HEAT WILL KILL ME! I WILL LITERALLY DIE FROM THE HOT. WILL WE FEEL SWEET RAIN EVER AGAIN?

1. Think how to help keep my dogs cool on such a hot day. 2. Close blinds. 3. Turn on fan. 4. Put down cooling pads. 5. Realise dogs aren’t even in the room. 6. Look for dogs. 7. Find dogs lying in the hottest part of the garden, panting like idiots.

Dick Van Dyke getting to 100, and now David Attenborough celebrating his 100th birthday too, has ever so slightly softened the blow that Betty White missed reaching 100 by just 17 days.

You’ve got to love the weather in the UK. Today I saw someone wearing a big coat and a woolly hat and someone wearing shorts and a t-shirt, yet somehow both seemed to be appropriately dressed.

It's 10 years today since Prince died. So a reminder of this, that happened on the other place, because sometimes sadness can still bring laughter.

I was at a wedding at the weekend and a woman I didn’t know told me she loved my dress. My brain: Just smile and say thank you My mouth: Thanks! It would’ve cost £80 new but I got it for £12 on Vinted! And look, it’s got pockets! [shows her the pockets] I think my bum looks a bit big in it though.

Welcome to nearly being 50! You’ve been assigned a daily new pain in your joints. You can hurt yourself simply by turning over in bed or moving your neck too quickly! You take so many supplements you’re surprised you don’t rattle! And you find new hairs in weird places every goddamn day! Enjoy!

I’ll be honest, ‘Easter Egg’ wasn’t my first thought of what this looks like…

April Fool’s Day. A day where you shouldn’t trust anything you read or anything anyone says. So basically the same as every other day then.

Me: Right! Lots to do! Better crack on! My brain: Excellent idea! But…first…how about we try and remember the names of all the Fraggles from Fraggle Rock without using Google! Ok!

My favourite part about signing for things digitally is how my signature ends up making me look like I’m actually an illiterate idiot with defective fingers who has never used a pen in their life before.

I’m of an age where a lot of nights out in my youth were spent being instructed to wave my hands in the air like I just didn’t care.

Saw this on a local Facebook page and it warmed my Gen X heart to discover there’s a postman round my way with a cracking sense of humour.

Not saying my life is a bit dull but the highlight of my day today was going out and it being warm enough that I didn’t have to wear my big coat.

Left it pretty late to do a Pancake Day joke and now all that’s left is this crêpe one which will probably fall flat and make me feel like a flipping tosser.

Took my dogs for a walk earlier. Had a standoff with my Labrador as she wanted to turn left to go to the really muddy park and I wanted to turn right to go to the not muddy park. Obviously stood my ground so we could both establish who was in charge. Anyway, yeah, we went to the very muddy park.

I’m nearly 50 but earlier today someone guessed my age to be 22. Ok, that someone was a very small child who also then thought that maybe I was 94, but I’m still absolutely taking their first guess as a personal win.

I can’t believe my stupid clothes have all shrunk again. Every year, around this time, it seems to bloody well happen.

I don’t know why people find Dry January hard. Mine is going great. So far today I’ve had 3 glasses of dry white wine, 2 pints of dry cider and a dry martini.
