Hehehe it looks like he's wearing pantaloons
Mr fancy pants 😍
I had a terrible nightmare last night. I accidentally bought International Roast instead of Vittoria Coffee. It was a really big tin.
It's ok, you're awake now. So many hugs
I’m a bit better off today. I’ll be better for a gym session
Rubbish out, vacuumed, washing is on.
Nap time lol
Vacuum done, mass cooking done. Still need to bring the washing in.
Chilling for the rest of the day!
Perfect!
More sleep. Back later.
Edit: that's better.
Simultaneously doing a jigsaw, picking herbs, vacuuming, sanding a Freecycle mirror, brain designing paint for mirror, craving choc, putting away dishes, playing zombie phone game.... what attention span?
Ha, this sounds like me. If I persevere the tasks get done eventually
It might help if the cats ceased throwing jigsaw bits everywhere
Same.
If anyone needs some self-compassion exercises link
That link goes to a Lemmy error page, which resulted in a sensible chuckle on my behalf.
Me: "I'm gonna be okay"
Brain: 404 not found
Try again 😂

Curb Your Enthusiasm is so wrong and so stupid. I can't stop laughing.
Thanks for reminding me of that show. Time to download.

The lift in my apartment building is full of confetti. It is a mystery
I’ve hurt my shoulder again -_-
Edit: Cleaning spots on carpet (windows and wooden doors open to air out the scent) and Melbcat cheerfully walked through the wet cleaning product. She got upset when I wiped her feet.
She’s now stalking the magpies through the wire screens.
What a beautiful day, he says, as his shoulder twitches possibly leading to a migraine later lol
I listened to the whole audiobook of Two Pennies to Cross the Mersey yesterday evening.
I'm just so angry, and yet there were many people who were kind
and sadly I relate too well
It's such a sad story but yet the way she writes is like matter of factly.
Like Gorky.
I read this as a teenager and it's really stayed with me.
I found her parents, especially her mother, so infuriating!
The epitome of a sociopath. She did not care about how her treatment of others reflected on her at all. Or maybe she liked being cruel. The father seemed to live in hubric denial.
Not one act of kindness from the woman, not one, not even to her husband.
It didn't surprise me they were all victim to slum lords and price gouging shop keepers, people can be so clueless.
It wasn't the poverty that got me angry, it was the cruelty and hubris.
Did it ever occur to any of them to read a fricken book on how to live, how to eat, how to manage money? Again, hubris. I know many very well educated people who think they know better or don't need to self educate about mundane things.
The mother seemed to me like she really didn't want children but was expected to have them because of that time but she had them knowing that she didn't need to look after them. She had no clue on how to raise them. They became a burden to her.
I'm now thinking she may have had post partum depression
I kept going argh because they left their home town, they should have stayed where they knew people and had better government support
But maybe the husband burned his bridges and no one they knew wanted anything to do with them. I am reminded it was strangers who helped him, people he didn't know from his regiment and people he didn't know from his school.
