Thursday hovers in the void

[octophone]

Morning.

At least it's dry out. Well, it is here anyway.

Restrung my new(ish) guitar last night and it took me way too long. Mucho fiddly.

 

[Sheena]

Chucking it down here. Feel a bit better today, though- but still can’t taste or smell anything. It’s fucking torture with all the Christmas food lying about.

I’ve just thrown together a turkey stew for tonight before the leftovers go off but fuck knows what it will be like as I have no way of checking.

Just noticed there's a TOTP review of the year show at 6.30pm on BBC2 this evening.

Clara Amfo looks back over many of the musical stories and highlights of 2023 with a mix of global stars, breakthrough artists and some of the biggest moments of the year.

The show takes a look back at some of the standout performances of 2023, including Elton John’s Glastonbury debut, Kylie headlining Radio 2 in the Park and Take That’s return to music, as well as some of the stories of the year, including Taylor Swift dominating the charts once again and established stars like Shania Twain, Madonna and the Rolling Stones all returning to music.

And Clara also speaks to singer-songwriter RAYE, rising star Venbee and Mercury Prize winners Ezra Collective.

I'm back in the shop making fudge and for some reason the smell is really making me feel sick today

What are your opening hours after new year?

 

[Indie]

Working.

But i don't have any fudge, so seems slightly less good.

Top Of The Pops on BBC2 at teatime, 3 days after Christmas. Such a decline.

Looks OK, mind you. I like Clara Amfo.

The weather is shite so I'm still in pyjamas watching Downton Abbey episodes. I do have office emails open though so I hear the ding when a new one comes in.

I really need to put poison in the loft today but the utter ballache of having to wear a breathing mask is making me procrastinate, I also don't know where the mask is. I just know that I can't be doing with another night of scratching in my ceiling.

Will Lucille's mother be hoovering in the void?

 

[floppet]

Who are you trying to poison?!

The mouse (mice?) in the loft. They're fieldmice, not housemice.

 

[Rachey]

I have a new plant. I got one before Christmas and somehow a big section snapped off so my plant lady has given me a new one. Now I need to keep it alive

Hi from Scotland. When we stopped at Gretna Ms Ron said “I forgot everyone here would be Scottish”.

Presumably with a SENSE OF RELIEF

 

[big ron]

She has a knack for such insights. Others include looking at a building and saying ‘they’ll have had to build that”

 

[Kratz]

I’m so bored

 

[Kratz]

Can’t something happen. Even Blackpool Tower couldn’t burn itself down properly

 

[octophone]

This is why working in the Merrineum isn't so bad. At least it's something to do.

Yes, but I don't even want to do that.

To be fair, there's not much management about and I have make a late start and an early dart so far this week.

Greetings from my parent’s caravan on the east coast where the storm has blown out the electrics and I’m sat drinking in the dark.

Pray for Lucy girls.

I hope the chemical toilet is working at least

 

[lolly]

This is where my high boredom threshold is a BOON

I'm much happier at home scratching my arse than being at work

 

[Lucille]

I hope the chemical toilet is working at least

Water gone as well, we’re all shitting and pissing in our hats

YOU POOR WOMAN

 

[Lucille]

How much more can I take?

Sounds like fun!

 

[jyxz]

Sounds like fun!

Sounds like a dogging scenario
