My dad isn’t a particularly soft guy but I mentioned to him a month ago that my new drink of choice is the stinkiest dirtiest martini and I’m home for Xmas — one sec in the door and he’s handed me a martini. My mum just told me she had to stop him buying £18 olives for me 🥹😭🥹

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

You in her dm, I’m at her place mildly being forced to watch a reality show that I’m lowkey ashamed to admit I’m somewhat enjoying.

Every morning I take a deep breath and pray that the Elizabeth line doesn’t ruin my morning by either having a power cut, a broken train/track or engineering works

Thank god pinot is the chosen colour for autumn, it is truuuuuuly gorgeous — red wine lips, the tartest berries, the most delicious ragu on a freezing night

The same Basil that said THIS:
“It is quite true that I have worshipped you with far more romance than a man should ever give to a friend”… “Somehow I have never loved a woman…I quite admit that I adored you madly, extravagantly, absurdly”

Me upon hearing that the new picture of Dorian Gray adaptation has made Dorian and Basil BROTHERS (!!!!!!!!!!!)

Honestly cannot believe I’ve passed my SQE2 exams - truly doing SQE1 & 2 whilst working full time very nearly killed me 😂😭🥹

Is there a disorder where you only enjoy buying things in the colour green or purple, because if so I am suffering greatly - I see something I like and I’m like…you know what would make this better? If it was green 🥲

It's the last week of August. I shouldn't be sitting in front of a computer working on a spreadsheet I should be sitting in front of a body of water sipping a spiked seltzer and reading my third book of the week.

[Scottish Refugee Council 🧡 @scotrefcouncil]

"Put simply: asylum seekers aren’t “taking” British jobs – they aren’t allowed to.

"Giving asylum seekers the right to work, however, would improve society for the whole of the UK, bringing economic benefits and enabling better integration of newcomers"

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.

For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.

Staff are devastated.
