I’m sad that the Powers that Be are retiring Skype. It’s been my lifeline & connection to my overseas partner for over 8 years now. #skype

Last night, my elderly iPhone upgraded to 18.3.1. It has some annoying new features like attempting to sort my mail into arbitrary boxes of its own invention. I’ve also noticed my email count going down all day. Is this a glitch or is it unilaterally deciding what to delete too?!
I still remember baking a cherry pie & brewing a pot of damn fine coffee in my room at university. No one came so I watched Twin Peaks solo. That was a lot of coffee & pie. Damn fine though.
You weren’t supposed to eat the Butterbean of Doom. It was the garnish.
Got back from a three hour shift at work so tired I had to take a two hour nap. Woke up. Ate half a bag of popcorn & a plate of yesterday’s curry & rice. And two vegan white chocolate pots… those were indecently good. Drank a couple of glasses of wine. Took a bath. Regret the glasses of wine…
Amen
Sorry to vent. I’m just so tired. Universal Credit are demanding I meet them to justify the fact I’m not quitting self employment (yet).
Even though I have had to take multiple jobs to support myself.
Zero hour is brutal but it’s work. The benefits system is hell for the creative industries.
The world would be easier if music was a paid job.
I’ve worked 20+ years & released/financed 8+ albums.
This month I earned £0.00 from music.(What did Spotify earn?)
Universal Credit assumes I earn £1,550 & pays me £52 monthly.
I have 3 zero hour jobs & work split shifts. Today I’m exhausted.
Sometimes you just have to walk a few steps in a cold place to realise you were sitting in a warm room.
It was. It all went to plan & I made a lovely, light 3 course meal this evening with plenty of delicate flavours.
Wow!! So proud of my beautiful & brilliant friend Eva!! @evanavarro.bsky.social

Figures
Today, I can get behind. I overslept because my alarm didn’t go off & got 10 hours of sleep. Nothing in the diary. Figure I’ll go for a swim. Maybe a walk too. Should probably clean…Friends coming for dinner this evening. I think I need to take a de-stress day.
Wtaf? Why?
Two wrongs don’t make a right, folks…ok so these animals were illegally released but why for god’s sake cull them instead of finding them a safe place to be? It just shows how cruel we’ve become…

It’s not just me! I’ve been hearing a few tales of full moon grump
Experientially
It appears to be a very grumpy full moon.
I’ve been living with visitations from a very similar room for years. Whilst one exists in real life in the Round Tower in Copenhagen (gave me chills), I figured out the recurring dream I had of a chair in a turret was trying to tell me something in my head needed my attention! ☺️
Sometimes a good solid dose of Ricard & cold water is what’s needed to enjoy an evening….
Yes, totally with you on that…

Not impressed with this, or the pre-inauguration brunch for political pundits that Spotify funded when it can’t afford to pay its artists enough to support their families…
Hmm, that’s frustrating…my studio is in a ‘flying freehold’ so if I go in there my neighbour’s dogs think there’s someone upstairs & bark. constantly.
Does anyone else have the dream where you’re meant to be at a class but have lost your timetable & have no idea which class you should be at or where to go?
My Danish trip just got extended due to spending a week in bed with a nasty cough: what is this evil, shape shifter of a virus that racks me with coughing & turns my partner into a shivering mass of fever every night?! Anyone else playing host to every bug out there of late?! 😆
Has anyone ever had ‘figs in caramel’ ? What do you do with them?? On porridge? They’re crazy sweet!
Gotta love ppl who work in book shops
Great picture & great look!
