Replying to @HMRCcustomers
@HMRCcustomers I desperately need to speak to a human being but the phone lines say no one is available. Your digital chat not is worse than useless. Who can help me please?

Replying to @StephenMal
@StephenMal Thank you for a first class gig tonight at the SWG3. An extra thank you for playing a Scottish city! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Can't wait for Barrowlands.

Prepping the year’s first rhubarb crop makes me feel very domestic 😊

Filled with a weird kind of melancholy today which is probably mostly due to tossing and turning all night. I want a nap, and something savoury to eat, not necessarily in that order, but I don’t know *what* to eat. Gah.

Starts a new book. “His brilliant green eyes”. A few pages along: “His dark brown gaze”. Which is it then, and why did your editor and/or proofreader not pick this up??? #AmReading

Today I need to resume some kind of normality after the weirdness that is the twixmas period. Sadly, this means probably leaving the house, brrr.

Home made macaroni cheese is absolutely worth the effort involved in making it. So full!

We actually have sunshine today! I’m making the most of it because the whole of Scotland is under a yellow weather warning for the entire weekend 😕

Still hoping to find more of you on bluesky. Hmu if you’ve made the move and would like a follow.

Being less subtle this some. Who’s on Bluesky? I’m trying to migrate over there but there are so many of you I’d like to stay in contact with.
I made an account on the friendly azul app. DM me if we’re friends for the handle. I’d love to connect with as many as you as possible.

A big thank you to @GreenFlagUK whose home rescue was so speedy this morning, I was still in my pyjamas. Considering how cold it was out today, I'm doubly impressed.

Status: over-caffeinated and cold. Plus? Unexpectedly spent time with friends this morning.

I’m here less and less now. Considering a move to another SM site. Which means making yet another new account, so I’m dithering.

The £2 cap on bus fares - a vital lifeline for those of us who need buses to get about - could be scrapped by Rachel Reeves. Want the Government to protect our buses? Sign the petition today! 38d.gs/guzv

Not expecting much from the boys tonight. I suspect the end of half term has hit them as hard as it has me. Otoh, it’s hella peaceful here today 😂.

Wishing I had the energy to head off to the woods for a long tramp about. There’s a heady feeling of promise in the air today — almost as though the weather knows something I don’t.

After the worst summer I can recall for years, apparently it will be 21C today. Yes, I do plan on getting outside.

The weather has definitely changed. Even if we get more sunny days, the advent of the haar proves autumn is around the corner. Sigh, I suppose I’d better get some warmer clothes out of storage.

Just had the most disappointing sweet n sour sauce ever. Like, worse than bad. Shame on Uncle Bens aka MARS for this appalling pretence of food. Will be calling tomorrow to register my disgust. All 4 of us struggled to eat our dinner 😕
