The Frood As a wise ape once observed, space is big – vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly so. However, if you look too closely at space, it becomes nothing but lumps of rock and sundry gases. Sometimes it's necessa...

Douglas Adams should have been 74 today. Let's all keep faith that he would have been a lovely old fella, immune to the fascist propaganda which has wholly ensnared so very many of his friends and contemporaries.

Anyway, here's his official biography: www.penguin.co.uk/books/419319... πŸ€–

Garden help was being messed around so I sourced some hedging myself Saturday afternoon, and I remember thinkning "pray for my sinuses" as I loaded the car.

Pain. On the bright side, my eyes are still sufficiently watery that I don't need reading glasses this morning.

Why did I post this, and then promptly order another "vintage" coat? Not even the same seller; I must have angered whichever god it is of used tissues.

You have to remember that windmills are the natural enemy of golfers. That’s why Trump hates them so much.

Couldn't quote-post that last one, or reply, fair enough but the "legendary" Tight Fit member Denise Waterman who's stranded in Dubai is also the one in the travel insurance ads.

80s pop icon Denise Waterman revealed that she is among the Brits stranded in Dubai due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The singer is best known as one-third of the legendary band Tight Fit, who famously topped the charts with their hit cover of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The single, released in 1982, reached number one in the UK, where it stayed for three weeks. The song also landed in the coveted top spot in Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark.

Trawling Facebook for legendary 80s icons stranded in Dubai must be quite the assignment.

It’s Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, everyone. There’s no routine screening for ovarian cancer, and it isn’t picked up by other gynaecological screening (such as smear tests). But if you do think it might be a possibility, you can ask your GP for a blood test and/or a scan.

If my parents were still alive I could ask whether or not this sacred childhood memory was slung on the bonfire.

Transitioning isn’t just about the clothes or the HRT; it’s about the fundamental right to exist safely as our authentic selves. Felicity and I were talking today about how much joy is found in just being seen. We won't stop fighting for that dignity. Love wins. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ -Sarah

Today in Dangers of YouTube, I watched a video and then went out and

popped into The Range for a bareroot rose.

1988 definitely looks familiar.

Well done everyone! We have invented an AI that is stupider than the one from a 1981 movie.

This is great. Vanian (the Bela Lugosi of Hemel Hempstead) talks of coffins, smoking and grave digging with Ann Diamond and Nick Owen.

I don't have one; Dad did, Mum didn't, and I imagine she didn't because her mother had been saddled with being tribute to a relative she hated.

Apparently by the time my Dad came along, his mother had run out of relatives to use and was picking characters from novels.

I go into another sodding county to do shopping bits and still see people from down the road.
