We need Daryl Mootz! (Nobody will get this joke but it still pleases me to make it.)
Norwich pride! What a life affirming, joyful, love filled, noisy, sweaty, party. Our Christians at Pride stall gave away 450 stickers and 2.5kg of sweets. Love always wins. 💗🌈
We spell out words so our dog doesn’t get unnecessarily excited about things - and today he reacted to us spelling out ‘dinner’. He’s learned how to spell. This is the end times.
The dog and I are doing our morning devotional together. He’s a big fan of St Therese.
My new favourite person is this woman who - blitzed off her face in the local Oxfam shop - ordered me to take her photo and then buy her the wig she was wearing. Of course I bought it for her, what an absolute queen.
I went to have a cup of tea with a new friend today - the first time I'd been to her house. My dog peed in one of her flower pots and she didn't mind. This is clearly a sign that she's now my bff forever. She's passed the test.
What if the DOG voted Reform, what about that?!? (My dog is definitely a Trump supporter.)
TFW you agree with the head of the Met despite thinking the Met are trash.
Whatever your opinion of RFK Jr, as someone whose father was murdered in a hotel by a man with a gun, this must have been deeply traumatic for him. Gun violence is such a multi generational societal trauma.
The world's smallest victory - I have managed to persuade The Bird Seed Man at our local park to stop leaving piles of bird seed on the ground under the feeders. My dog was chomping through pounds of the stuff every day - bad for dogs, bad for birds. But no longer! I live to serve the dog.
The dog accessories and the colour coded snacks were v good for the Norwich/Ipswich derby - shame that the football was so dire.
Six years into his little doggy life, and this guy still believes that if he stands by the gate and gives me a hard stare that I’ll let him out to roam the neighbourhood. I quite admire his hope.
My daughter told me recently that the voice I use when oh the dog is about to roll in poo/eat birdseed/steal a sandwich off a baby/commit another misc crime is ‘borderline terrifying’. I feel rather proud of that.
Palm Sunday. Is it even Norfolk if there aren’t two dogs at every event?
This is up there with this little beauty (from an anti lockdown protest in the UK).
Literally what does West's ADHD or fatness have to do with transkids?! The weirdest thing about TERFS is that they are more obsessed with trans identity than actual trans people. This is an article about a cis adult women talking about her own life and body, yet you're writing about trans kids?!
During my dog walk I heard a man explaining to an unwilling woman 1) why/how climate change is a hoax, 2) why/how Starmer is going to create 15 minute cities which will result in this man losing his job and being unable to leave his house 3) why/how 'The Chinese' are forcing electric cars on us.
A friend and I made an impromptu trip to the shrine at Walsingham today and it was as awesome as it always is. Such a space of deep spirituality and faith.
From Mandelson's vetting form - how the heck was the third paragraph not enough to immediately get his name struck off any and all Government job lists forever?!
This is from the episcopal cathedral in NYC. When even churches are ahead of you - it’s not a good look.
I’m (re)reading this while travelling today. I had forgotten that six pages into any book by or about the Mitfords, my internal monologue starts sounding like them. 50 pages in and my actual speech sounds like them. That should go down well in Brooklyn…
Operation Make Bagels - round two. Much much better than round one! Next up, making cinnamon raisin bagels.
