Boss is away and I’m acting director of the department. I promised not to break anything or anyone.
I appreciate having a local butcher and not just the variety that provides but that I can buy small amounts. Every butcher has their own recipes for sausages and today I gave the Italian beef a try. Delicious. There’s only me so two is enough. Supermarkets don’t sell two of their tasteless product.
Six years ago little Ms Ali came home with me from the Cat Cuddle Cafe rescue and immediately made herself at home. How could I not adopt her when she looked up at me with those big eyes. 😻🐱
Well we might have missed a place in the final but the Matildas made it to a semi final and still in contention for third place. More than the men’s team has ever done in a World Cup and it’s brilliant to see. ⚽️
You can’t be an Australian that grew up in the ‘80s and claim to love the music from that decade if The Chantoozies album isn’t in your record collection. 🎵
Fitting it’s a public holiday today as it’s 40 years since one of the best British police procedurals ever made, The Bill, first aired on 16 August 1983. Meant to be a one off, Woodentop is regarded as the first episode given its popularity led to The Bill starting in 1984 and running until 2010. 📺
Got up, fed the cat, went back to bed with a cup of tea and my book. Wednesday public holidays are the best.
I’ve decided my new response to “but why” questions at work will be the mangled metaphor I trotted out today - because the circus keeps on rolling until we bring the boom gate down.
I’ve finished the trilogy of books the Silo tv series is based on and feel like my view on the first two episodes is validated. The sheriff and wife plot line doesn’t really feature in the books. It’s referenced and sets events in motion but didn’t need two episodes. They should have been condensed.
Wearing a solidarity message for my fellow introverts.
