Today I did something really stupid & thoughtless in an un-asked for attempt to explain something. It just looked creepy. After someone patiently explained why I was stupid, thoughtless & creepy I deleted the post. I have no excuses but I am truly sorry.
@DuncanLindsay@SoozUK That was because someone added me to a twitter Long Covid list & I woke up to hundreds of notifications, half in languages I don't understand & it was a pain in the neck to stop.
An absolutely wonderful dog, #Zola, has gone missing around #haggerston#hackney#islington. She is one of my dog Agnes’ great friends. If you live locally and have connections on neighbourhood groups (email/WA/FB) please share widely and let’s get her home.

@snigskitchen@miffythegamer @kronstadt2kool @yeuropeanson I should add that she hasn't hidden the name of her child's father. The child knows who he is, it's just the father doesn't know about the child. The child is now 14 but she hasn't expressed an interest in finding him yet.
@snigskitchen@miffythegamer @kronstadt2kool @yeuropeanson I don't really know the nuances of this whole comedy tour but not meeting a child until they reach 16 might not be abdication of responsibility but not knowing of their existence. I have a friend who deliberately didn't inform a fling that she was pregnant. Life can be messy.

“As far as I’m aware…” which isn’t very far, because quite frankly I was off my tits, so I might have danced a jig naked with my underpants on my head for all I know.
@DrPragyaAgarwal I know someone (a bloke) who has a gym membership but has been to the gym about twice. I think this is not unusual for people with gym membership. The spirit (and bank account) is willing but the flesh is weak.
£150 council tax rebate. To claim it I will have to go in person & get it in cash from the Post Office with current & valid photo ID. I am more or less housebound with no photo ID. I'm not even the person who pays it!
@snigskitchen I would have added 'incompetent lazy grasping philanderer' to the liar & racist bit but maybe they didn't have enough space to list all his shortcomings.
@touretteshero I think it is the tip of a horrific iceberg. Bear in mind that many of these run-for-profit care homes don't get inspected for years because of cuts.
I've been following @GeorgeJulian's threads on residential care inspections. I wanted to see what % of places overall were inadequate or requires improvement so did some quick maths. I'm not a statistician but I'm concerned the % providing poor care seems to be rising sharply 1/3
@Luiseach Very restrained, Sorcha, very restrained. I would have been much more sweary & vitriolic in the face of such bigoted & ignorant drivel.
@Jonstackpool Years ago I dreamed I had discovered a completely new colour. Not an exciting shade of an existing one, a totally new colour. I could see it clearly in my dream but it vanished when I woke up. Those sort of dreams can be really unsettling & troublesome.
