I mean, I’m saying this with an avatar that’s literally a photo of me aged two looking like the evidence you needed to resolve the haunting:

An old, stained, photo of a toddler in a pink dress sat on a wall in front of a council house. She looks furious and it is the most haunted shit you have ever
seen.

I’m not sure I’d notice a difference

Love to get romantic texts from my beloved while they’re at work:

An SMS message reading ‘We're all looking out of the window at a seagull eating a rat’.

OK but what I searched for was ‘how much money to build a natural swimming pool in the uk’

Screengrab of the suggested search text ‘how did vikings deal with homosexuality’.

Yesterday middle-aged tiredness meant we tapped out of @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social after the ‘Japanese Star Wars’, a family friendly action comedy featuring a sexually explicit soft rock soundtrack, three different incests and a character who has sex with a dog. Today we will not be defeated

Film festival schedule showing today’s films. Brotherhood of the wolf, Dragonslayer, Pathfinder and Highlander.

Heads Up: Ocado apparently let somebody change my account password & email without alerting me, then order hundreds of pounds worth of tobacco, then when I got in touch said ‘not our problem’ deleted my account and told me that on the plus side I’d now be eligible for their new customer discount:

Am an absolute wreck today. Beloved dog, Leo, died suddenly this morning. Elderly but not in terrible health. Heart attack, essentially. One minute he was there the next not. He was the sweetest dog I’ve ever known and I loved him more than I do most people.

A small white dog on a sofa who I miss so much that I want to throw up.

I’ve subscribed to the Fortean Times for something in the region of 30 years. Genuinely considering cancelling. There’s been a really nasty trickle of transphobia for a while, but giving nearly a whole page to a letter full of horrible shit like this then announcing correspondence is closed? WTF?

Extract from a letter reading ‘but may I point out that it is more often those who are termed
'gender critical' - i.e., people who believe that biological sex is immutable - that are subject to intimidation and threats of violence. You need only look at the treatment received by JK Rowling, Kellie-Jay Keen, Helen Joyce and all the 'gender-critical' women who choose to stand up to the narcissists embroiled in a misogynistic social contagion that seeks to erase the rights of biological women and girls. Death threats and physical violence are documented regular occurrences for these women, yet it is the trans activists and their allies that claim they are the ones most at risk.’

In case I forget tomorrow, a huge thank you to the friends who had a whip ‘round so that I could continue to celebrate halloween in the style that local trick or treaters have become accustomed to. My living room is currently rammed with ludicrous sweets, stickers, goosebumps books etc.

A photo from when we got back from the cash and carry. It shows a 5ft by 3ft desk piled about 2ft deep with dozens of boxes and bags of wholesale sweets.

Trying to get the dog hyped for Supergrass on the pyramid stage but he hasn’t listened to them since I Should Coco so his viewpoint is quite reductive.

A little white dog making an unimpressed face. Like he’s just muttered ‘those mockney wankers on the bikes?’

My actual favourite is technically a detail from a larger panel, in which Wolverine’s choice of early eighties grot utterly traumatises Colossus:

Piotr ‘Colossus’ Rasputin looks over Wolverine’s shoulder as the latter reads Hustler in a crowded shop. Young Peter has a look on his face that says ‘I will never know peace again’.

Over the last year I’ve got too poor to give money and too sick to give time, so most of the stuff that mitigates despair has gone for a burton. Maybe that’ll change for the better and I’ll get my me back. Ah well. Until then have a photo of my dog . He’s great.

A little white curly haired dog in a neckerchief is upside down on a scruffy blanket covered sofa. He looks ridiculous and very happy.

A local toyshop posted some AI art when announcing late hours the other day and it was terrifying

AI art of two children watching their parents through a window, but as it’s AI they look like demons with just generally the wrong amount of everything.

Accidentally dressed the dog as John Prescott

Friends on the groupchat being very supportive of my decision to make lucky bags for the 100+ trick or treaters we get most years.

OK, but, amazon what I actually searched for was ‘General Mills Monster Cereals’ so…

On the plus side of humanity, the staff at a bakery/cafe near us came out and gave our dog a whole sausage this morning when partner stopped there to buy coffee on their walk. No reason other than that they like our dog and they had sausages to hand.

Ah that’s my motivation pinned right there sure enough. Only the other day as the three of us ate a shepherds pie in front of Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads I thought to myself ‘thank christ my lifestyle is not passe’.

Live footage from my house where I spent today having all but one of the remaining teeth in my lower right jaw removed and an acrylic denture fitted in.

We inherited this furry idiot this week. An extremely good boy. Chilled to the point of stupor. Except if everyone goes upstairs at once whereupon - having previously lived in a bungalow - he assumes we’ve all died, shits everywhere, and barks the house down.

This keeps being advertised to me and every single time I read it as ‘home fries’. Every time. I’m not even American! I don’t actually fully understand what home fries are! But my brain knows what it wants and what it wants is potatoes.
