Needed a new purse and have too much fabric to justify buying one lol tried a new thing with the zip that went a bit wrong and caused lots of bulk in the corners. Means the zip's juuuust big enough to get cards in. Need to figure that one out for next time...

Photo of a small zippered coin purse with two different fabrics (top two thirds is a purple and turquoise large floral print and the bottom third is a turquoise background with light turquoise polka dots. The zip is purple with a purple ribbon pull)

Car shopping without a car is quite a workout. I absolutely couldn't have done this if I hadn't had iron infusions recently. In April I was getting out of breath just walking around my flat!

Both my favourites include Brian Cage being not so smart. There's the Philly street fight one but also this from Willie Mack's Instagram:

Photo of wrestler Willie Mack holding a wombat at a zoo in Australia. He looks delighted (Willie Mack, the wombat looks unimpressed)

Comments section from the wombat photo.
Brain Cage: What are you holding?!
Willie Mack: that's a wombat nigga.
Brian Cage: i knew it
Willie Mack: shit was heavy.

I know which movie I'd pick

Photo of Lio Rush in his Blackhart character, crouching down wearing a white shirt with thin rainbow stripes, red contact lenses in his eyes, and black stuff all in his mouth and teeth. He's holding a multi coloured umbrella and grinning maniacally. At the top of the image the text reads "it's fine... it's fine" which is what he's been muttering to himself on TV, and at the bottom is the text "SINGIN' IN THE RAIN" in the font and red colour used on the original movie poster

Ooft that looks taller than the ones at Liverpool Moorfields station, I use the lift if I get off the train there. I made the mistake once in London of going up the Earth escalator at the Natural History Museum there. The model earth makes loud noises too. It was terrifying

Photo of a single escalator in a large hall with a giant red globe that the escalator passes through. It kinda looks like the escalator is going up into a bum hole

This one?

Drawn graph of relative sexiness of men off Buffy Vs ongoing age of man-fancing viewer. Spike stays roughly constantly high tailing off a little, Angel falls pretty quickly, Xander is middling then falls, Oz starts low then goes fairly high before falling back to the start level, whereas Giles starts low and then steadily increases to be the most fanciable as the viewer ages

Minister for fire just makes me think of this guy

Black and white photo of a performance of the song Fire by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown from the 1960s. A white man wearing a white smock is holding a microphone. His face is painted white with black around his eyes, cheekbones and in his beard. On top of his head is a curved metal decoration that's on fire somehow. He looks quite unhinged

Made with real peasants

Close up photo of the front of a packet of Portuguese "peasant recipe" potato chips (turns out this is tomato, spices and bell pepper and they're delicious)

George W Bush meme where his advisor is learning in to tell him a second plane has hit the twin towers on 9/11. Text reads "sir, bodyslam has learned of more WWE departures"

w/o downloading anything new where are you mentally

Not migraines but I made a Google sheet to track heaviness of periods, medication taken each day etc. Here's a snapshot to show what I mean. It's really handy that Google sheets has check boxes as one of the data validation options. Can just click it to say yes when I've taken meds

Snapshot of a spreadsheet with dates in first column, rating, and check boxes for whether medication was taken

One of the best things the internet has bestowed upon us is this concept:

I also recommend Finch, it's so cute

Why do you feel overstimulated at your parents' house Laura? 😫

Screenshot of a decibel level website. Shows a current level of 81dB, an average of 59.2 dB and a maximum of 97.7 dB

I always liked this one:

Two photos side by side of a candle. The photo on the left shows the front of the label which saw "simple nature. Ohio. Unscented soy wax candle". The right photo shows a person's hand holding the candle and showing what's on the rear label. It reads "Ohio. Not much to see, not much to do. Welcome to Ohio, the unscented candle"

It's like winter out there

"No, stupid rules of engagement!"

Screenshot from The Simpsons showing a close up of Lionel Hutz' business card which read "works on contingency
No money down" but has been altered in red ink by Hutz to add punctuation to read "works on contingency? No, money down!"

I don't disagree but I also think Ogogo might like playing the nationality heel, this was him in Scotland 😂

Photo taken from the crowd towards the entrance ramp at the AEW wrestling show in Glasgow. Anthony Ogogo is walking down the ramp carrying an English flag above his head. The big screen over the entrance shows a close up of him doing this

Where in my walk do you think I fell over? 😂

I get my news from a reliable source

TIL Travelodge's head office building is called Sleepy Hollow. That's a weird reference for a hotel chain right?

Screenshot from Google street view showing the sign at the entrance to Travelodge offices. It says Travelodge then Sleepy Hollow

Seeing today's #birbfest2026 bird is the oystercatcher reminded me that I embroidered this wee chap last year and haven't figured out what to do with him. Might turn him into a brooch #birbfest #BirdArt #SciArt

Been to Inverness to watch ballet (Carlos Acosta’s Nutcracker in Havana) complete with a stop in a dark and windy layby to look at the northern lights. Both fantastic

Photo of the inside of a theatre with an image of a postcard from Havana projected on the rear of the stage

Slightly blurry photo of the northern lights showing pillars of green light in the sky, plus a couple of stars too

Missed the peak but still cool

Photo of a night sky tinted green with aurora with some diagonal streaks of pink, with a few clouds towards the horizon. The picture is framed by the silhouettes of hills at the bottom. Quite serene vibes

Laura@rural-laura· Jan 19

Your post for me to get up and go outside and this was outside my front door 😂

Photo of the night sky fully lit up green with aurora, with some faint red streaks too

Perfect juxtaposition in my YouTube shorts today

Screenshot of two YouTube shorts previews next to each other. The first is labelled "is this bear suit AI? #wildlife" with a man greenscreened on top of a video still of a view of a bear outside a car window. The second is labelled "pro wrestling bear gone wild" over a picture of a man in a bear suit trying to do a wrestling move on another man amongst clouds of white powder (a nod to the film cocaine bear)

Allegedly. I like "is it Diwali again?", that's such a dad thing to say

Text reads:
How to say you've left the lights on in different countries
UK - it's like Blackpool illuminations in here
Serbia - was your grandpa Nikola Tesla?
Ireland - it's lit up like a Christmas tree
France - we are not in Versailles
India - is it Diwali again?
Pakistan - who is paying for the electric, your father?
Portugal - do you have stocks in EDP?
Croatia - are we living in Bethlehem?

Omg I hadn't realised it was at Scone Palace. Real let down if he had the munchies! "Potfest at Scone Palace" brings it full circle to another Simpsons gag 😂

Two screenshots from the Simpsons. Top one shows a cinema sign saying the film showing is "Naked Lunch rated R". Bottom one shows Nelson, Millhouse and Bart looking up at the sign as Nelson says "I can think of two things wrong with that title"
