It’s 2023 and I have a laptop so I’ve started a Substack! Bit Weird, Quite Normal is about my micro-oddities and mini-failings and why they (mostly) don’t matter. Features chronic oversharing and might make you feel better about yourself. Subscribe here: annabelport.substack.com
In the flesh! (With no flesh showing.)
A rare public outing for me and @AnnabelPort:

A curation of times that estate agent photographers decided to get arty for the property listing. (1/2)
For a detailed analysis of why this annoys me so much and two other irritations with modern life, see here: annabelport.substack.com/p/t…
I’m so weak-minded that four words changed a core belief about myself. If any cults want to brainwash me, I’ll be your easiest target ever:

You should be able to plug your headphones into the hoover so you don’t wake anyone up
The alphabet doesn’t need to be in that order. There’s no reason for that order. And I’m starting to resent the unelected overlords of A, B and C.

Good job I run the tap first before filling my glass and get rid of that Legionnaires' disease water before reaching the mountain spring fresh stuff.
I know triangular sandwiches and toast are superior to rectangular ones but I can’t imagine loving myself enough to do them that fancy way at home.
My third favourite married couple easing the burden of deciding what to watch on TV. Plus Charlie Brooker and Bisha K Ali. It's very funny.
First episode of THEY LIKE TO WATCH out now, and look at whose heads we have on our podcast plate...

For anyone who struggles with the social not-nicety of the cheek kiss greeting: annabelport.substack.com/p/f…
Some advice gathered on how to do the cheek kiss greeting:
1. Go for the right cheek first. But sometimes it’s the left.
2. Touch the cheek with your lips. But also don’t touch the cheek and just kiss the air.
3. Go for two kisses. But also go with the flow on how many kisses.
Do you:
Feel sorry for one uneaten pea?
Chat to your car?
Feel guilty if your house hears you talking about moving?
