I'm spending a week with my grandparents in Ireland, and for the first time my grandad has acknowledged my bf exists...

I was talking to my grandma about soap and mentioned that our landlord drops my bf soap off from Bantry. My grandad joins in with "so your *fellow* likes Irish soap then".

Heading back up north for Christmas on a train so old the shiny (relatively) new Azuma next to it tried to give up its seat...

Tomato seeds which seems to have a pink residue on them.

Has anyone else's tomato seeds ever gone this strange colour? It's a new unopened packet so I'm presuming it must be some form of fungus?

The dog is utterly convinced that the shortbread I'm currently eating is, in fact, one of her festive dog treats that I must have stolen.

Only 1 dog willing to go on today's walk:

Oldest child and he is too and I very much have a side of the bed which he's subject too 😅.

I genuinely can't sleep if I'm on the wrong side of the bed and it's not even intentional just instinctive in the side I choose...

Dogs on a walk with a flicker of light ahead of them due to my dying head torch.

Trying to take older dogs for an evening walk with a dying head torch isn't the best combo..

(Having to angle my head so they can see directly in front of them or they just stop dead)

X under Musk is like a toxic partner, MP says in ‘break-up letter’ Labour’s Sarah Owen has joined a list of MPs leaving Elon Musk’s platform over its rise in misogyny, threats and intimidation

Until now, the consensus on X has been that it is a necessary evil for anyone in politics.

But I know my presence on X no longer benefits my role or the people I seek to serve.

So I have left, for good.
