Please allow me to have a brief whine. The rib that's been partially dislocated in my upper back since February 2025 is better than it was but niggly enough so that the whole area between my shoulder blades is in spasm and I can only see the Rib Whisperer on Friday. Sob.

I want someone to compile a Trump dictionary of mangled words. @MerriamWebster?
Trump: "They have the transgender mutilization of your child. Timmy goes out, goes to school, comes back four days later as Sarah. It's true! I think we have five or six states where they can actually just do that, and they do it. They're sick people."

I have put my children, my friends and the choir committee on notice that I am not available to listen to anybody's complaints or problems today. I need a day off.

The most surprising thing is that everyone just said, "Sure, no problem." My history makes me fear putting down this kind of boundary, but it was fine. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I met a bulldog puppy on my walk this morning, which has made this a most excellent day so far.

I would like to thank the Staffie for waking me at 4am on a Saturday because... Her blanket fell off. In this heat.

While I do love a hotel room paid for by someone else, it is always best, I feel, to be in one's own bed.

It occurs to me, randomly, that the Mango Mussolini would be safe in the zombie apocalypse, since they feast on brains.

I fully realise this is a #FirstWorldProblem, but can we bring back the "one small piece if hand luggage" rule? People are really taking the piss now.

This is why you should be able to squat 150kg at least because what if a baby elephant wants to ride your back and you don't have enough strength to pick it up. Couldn't be me.
