Sharing my tranquil insanity. Lost in Gosport, following Spurs, reading a lot & scaring myself with horror movies. Catholic. Current number of dogs: 2

How I prepare to scroll through #CatholicTwitter these days.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and a door round about my lips.
Incline not my heart to evil words: to make excuses in sins.

Oh wow thanks, my sweet child.

@DavidDArcy8 @SoVeryBritish But I shall be using tit shaped going forward

[RachelRachel @RachelTurnham]

@darrenjadams @SoVeryBritish -get prepared for the bad news, storm …
-maybe useful for a storm
-pointless for anything else
-I assume as a Brit we all brace in generally the same way, just swapping tea for coffee, alcohol or cigarettes in dire emergencies.

As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic.

The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma.

Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now.

We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives.

Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines.

This takes all of us ➡️ https://t.co/iPJGFUs7Qn

[RachelRachel @RachelTurnham]

@JoeBangles11 @JamesBlunt I’ve ground to a halt in the hallway,dogs are waiting for a walk and I’m leaning against the stairs refreshing this bloody page over & over.

I can now also report both dogs have huffed off and Steve has inexplicably asked if I’ve fallen asleep standing here.

WHAT’S THE CHEESE

I couldn’t sleep so I got up & went to sleep in the spare room.

This morning Steve starts discussing what he can do about his snoring.

Dear reader, the main reason I moved was so I could snuggle up with one dog in peace as our other dog gets jealous.

I’m abseiling down the #spinnakertower in Portsmouth to raise money for our ward and have a glass of Moet when I get to the bottom.

You can read about Poppy Ward and how we support our patients living with Dementia in the link.

All donations gratefully received.
