Wow! I've never seen anything but have had things happen - what we believe to be my nana is active when there's family gatherings! We've had a vase 'explode', an ornament lifted and chucked across the room, and my brother has twice found a painting that he bought in her memory like this!

Probably my 15th birthday - when my friend laughed that one off my best presents was the jazz tape* that I'd had my eye on in HMV. *Not a euphemism or misspelling

I have a chest infection and have mostly been on the sofa apart from a couple if hours out to take kid to an appointment. Alf does not give a rat's arse. His treat ball is empty and it's my fault.

These puppets are definitely not haunted.

An ornate, hand-carved Southeast Asian marionette (string puppet), likely representing a royal prince or figure from a traditional Burmese (Yoke thé) puppet theatre.

The puppet has a shocked and angry expression on its face.

A large vintage string marionette puppet, which appears to depict a historical character or musketeer.

It's eyes are just little black spots, giving it an expression that is definitely going to haunt your dreams.

This was my Facebook memory for today - That time I got a "Percy Pig Slushie" that looked disturbingly like meat paste. (Paging @ricardoautobahn.co.uk and @philfletcher.bsky.social ... the lid stopped me getting it down me face)

An M&S Percy Pig slushie, which looks like the eponymous porcine hero has been put through a mincer and served in a cup.

I sing this every time I give meat paste to this face!

A very happy large black dog lays on his bed. Next to him is a Kong toy that was, until recently, filled with meat paste.

Husband is watching Zodiac. I think it was a brave choice to have just one Muppet in a cast of humans. *Checks notes* oh... It's Jake Gyllenhall...

Guy Smiley, or it could be Jake Gyllenhall. I can't tell the difference.

"Mr Trebus? We're from the council..."

A green door. Behind the green door there appears to live a hoarder as there's stuff visible piled up behind the glass panel.

Absolutely loving all these influencers saying "Get a pixie cut because they're low maintenance", when I look like this taking headphones off after a Teams call.

I saw that at the cinema. Ten minutes in, my kid whisperered "why is Ian Beale in space?" and we laughed at it's stupidness for the next hour and a half.

Paid £65 for the vet to tell me my dog is fine. 10/10 would pay again.

A very happy wirehaired pointer resting in my arm. He has fat lumps on his body that are thankfully nothing sinister!

So sad to hear about Richard O'Sullivan - his Dick Turpin was one of my first crushes.

Richard O'Sullivan as Dick Turpin. He is wearing a brown coar, black tricorn hat and holding a gun. He is very handsome with dark eyes and a cupid's bow mouth.

Same here. Harry Potter is banned in our house she's an evil fucking witch.

An embroidered badge. It is a red border with a white section in the middle. It says "TERFS" with a red line through it, because this account is a Trans safe space, and terfs and JKR fans are not welcome here.

I'm watching Jim Moir's Who Do You Think You Are, and his dad is Davy Stott.

I'm not watching it either, because I'm watching this. I think you fit in just fine among the people who love you ❤️

Yesterday was spent giving my best mate her own private tour of my happy place, Fountains Abbey, where I used to be a costumed tour guide. I wasn't in costume, but did dress up in the "tourist" robes for a laugh. It felt so good to be back in the habit while someone appreciated my infodumping!

Me grinning delightedly in a white robe.

Me in a black and white shot during a photo shoot. I'm wearing a white choir monk robe, standing sideways to the backdrop of Fountains Abbey.

Me in my white habit, hood pulled up so you can just see my eyes. The cellarium ceiling is behind me.

I've just discovered this exists. @benbaker.bsky.social pointed out that he looks like Matthew Corbett, so...

A Little Golden Book biography of Ryan Gosling. He is painted wearing a pink suit.

A Sooty puppet badly photoshopped onto Ryan's hand in La La Land. The illustration is a watercolour painted style.

I thought this was a kid waiting for the bus with a backpack on. *Books Specsavers appointment*

An electric charging point wrapped in black plastic with a white sign hanging on the back. It looks like a little girl kn a long coat with a white backpack on.

My parents had CDs long before I did, but I remember buying this for £2 from Stockton flea market and it was the first that was "mine". There was a 'Best of the Beach Boys' and a compilation of classic jazz in the same purchase, but I remember this the most. I was an odd 15 year old.
