I am currently bisexually eating brie. Former writer, current exhausted parent. She/her, UK
and now, the only way you could possible cap a once in a life time celestial event: with the hotel song
imagining the experience of watching the eclipse from the Ferrari World rollercoaster (which has been running throughout, though may have paused at totality)
Small Child's first encounter with a plastic straw in an actual drink, increase of a craft project. wild to think that in the six years of her life they've disappeared from almost all venues in the UK
love a fake newsprint chip paper. I don't know if it's a parallel history in Spain (yesterday's newspaper is today's chip paper, a la Catullus' rival's poems being used to wrap mackerel) or a thing adopted because English tourists are into it, but probably the former?
65% humidity and 32° heat, and that's at the airport, not overlooking the constantly evaporating swimming pool.
BBC trying to tell us something about Monica Galetti's ageless face?
Small Child has been creased with giggles this weekend at the difference between a babychino and baby's chinos
I hit the link before the queue went live at 10, ended up somewhere around 21000 deep, and got to book 1:30. notification just before i got through was that for people just joining the queue it was around 9 hours long.
if you're wondering, an hour and a Missing poster later, it was on the dvd shelves.
bin is only half full so I'm skipping ut, and cba with dishwasher. however, suspect I'm culpable for the lego.
one of the local corner shops has put up a bunch of ai generated posters, and though they're not the worst of the slop genre I still have to walk past 》Milk,《 Milk, Bread, Egg without collapsing into giggles every time I pick Small Child up from school. (Farm Fresh Fesh Eggs, anyone?)
Nick Cave isn't a fan of Russell Brand's new book about his conversation to Christianity.
Huh, what's that in my CEO-cat-game-I-downloaded-for-Nectar-points?
I feel like there's bigger problems than being sleepy of an under-12 is behind the wheel or operating heavy machinery
So this little factoid from the Kerry Kennedy piece in the Independent blew my brain (in addition to the fact that on all the discussion of RFK's reaction I hadn't realised there was another Kennedy at the recent assassination attempt as well)
at the point before i combined the two mixtures i really thought I'd stuffed the chocolate, but once you fold the cream in it suddenly starts looking and behaving like a tasty little desser
kinda fascinated by the fact that in 2026 plastic tat phones that come free with kids magazines are still 00s flip phones, and that Small Child immediately recognised it as a phone
absolute Paddington banger from Bundobust, one of our favorite Indian places.
stumbling across a new-to-you Jan Klassen, as a parent, must be akin to an art collector finding a lost Picasso in a random hotel.
unicorn won't let me through, so I'm sitting on a cushion behind the sofa, listening to numberblocks and wondering how many they actually assigned personalities to (25, 35 and 45 inherit being musicians, because 5 is a 'star', but 26 is a spy and I don't know why)
fun time finding the mri recently. letter just had the hospital name where the department usually is, am me Google turned up multiple possibilities. turned out the mri machine was a lorry in the car park, which meant it doesn't have a building or department for the mail merge.
a fair bit of overlap! I got very excited when I saw a song on yours called "I don't know why", but it wasn't a match for the tune in my head
