I’m genuinely sad about the passing of Neil Sedaka. He wrote and sang so many amazing songs and always seemed such a humble, heartfelt and wonderful man.

I'm so depressed tonight reading all the posts on X, Threads and this platform about the Tourettes event at the Baftas last night. It's so miserable seeing how some people are, so still misunderstanding a condition where people have absolutely no control over their behaviour or speech.

Today we are off to Bilbao, our favourite city in the world.
There is no other city like it.

Odddream last night. Me & Ian went to see a @daraobriain.bsky.social show. He asked for 4 audience members and we volunteered. We sat in an old Volvo estate and one by one had to lay in the back whereby Dara dry-humped us. Then he kissed me & gave me a gold coin dated 1752.

@theshaunwallace.bsky.social it was a pleasure to meet you, show you where to park and go to, watch you manage a team, liaise with everyone and become my grandson’s absolute fave tonight.
Thank you x

We are going to adopt another with similar problems to Beckie, ie fear of the outside world. We’ve seen one at the same rescue where Beckie was. It seems the right thing to do xx

Our son showed our 8 year old grandson South Park The Movie.

Yes I know. Grandson enjoyed it and told his Dad β€œit was funny but I didn’t understand all the jokes” πŸ˜‚

Absolutely heartbroken tonight at having to let our beautiful Princess Beckie go to the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge tonight.
She was running in the garden and it seems she collided with something and tore her trachea.
Despite rushing her to the vets, she had brain damage so we had to let her go πŸ’”

Today I went with my brother who has Gorlins syndrome to his PIP tribunal appeal.

I’m sad to say the doctor and
judge were 2 of the rudest people I’ve ever met in my life.

Today we started looking after our friend’s greyhound as he is currently in hospital & is quite poorly. Our diva greyhound Beckie is demanding and I expected fireworks with her being a bit grumpy but it’s been the total opposite, she’s in love and they’ve settled in brilliantly together πŸ©·πŸ’™

Miserable. Dying with a cold.

Grandson videocalls you.

@leytonorientfc.bsky.social is there any reason this happens when I try to press enter? "Yes" is selected.

Our Greyhound has been in her favourite spot in the cupboard under the stairs all day long asleep. She’s now asleep on the sofa having only emerged to eat dinner.
I think that those of us with Fibromyalgia are actually Greyhounds 🀣

Closest I’ve got to that is Body Shop Vitamin C peel which is gentle and gets all the invisible dead skin off. Gives you a bit of a nicer complexion x

Started listening to @maidstoneunited.bsky.social commentary and they were losing 1-0, then we scored 2 goals in quick succession.

More please!

Ian’s gone to freeze his bits off at football so I’m watching football on tv, in the warm and listening to Stones Live.

In the warm. So warm indoors πŸ˜„

Tonight I’ve decided to close my Twitter account (I refuse to use that stupid new name)

Hopefully some of the good people on there come and join me in my far left, family oriented, greyhound loving, LGBTQ+ supportive life.
