The 1962 """remake"""**** of The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari really is the most godawful pile of specious tedious plotless bollocks, isn't it?

I mean I'm an hour and a quarter into it and absolutely nothing has happened except that I've discovered where Trent Reznor got that incongruous sample he uses on his otherwise excellent cover of Queen's Get Down Make Love

Helpy people giving unsolicited advice when you just want to have a whinge is mildly irritating.

Them getting all butthurt when their unsolicited advice is not met with joy unbounded and profuse thanks is just EXHAUSTING.

You don't know me. You don't know my circumstances, or what I already do or don't do. How are you surprised that your unsolicited advice doesn't apply to my situation? It's basically inevitable.

Please, altruistic people, I know you mean well, but please, only give solicited advice. Please.

The worst thing about being in constant pain is how much brain space it takes up.

Yes, I KNOW I'm in pain, can you please let me think about something else?

Doesn't half make one a boring conversationalist too

I know the CW discourse re politics is lost, I know this, but my god I don't half mourn that fact when the first thing I see on opening Mastodon is a picture of Michael frigging Gove

*baleful gaze at @cstross *

SOMEBODY is offended because I called him "a lazy arse who can't even be bothered getting off the sofa for food"

Look, random itch, I don't like you and you don't like me, and that's fine, but do you HAVE to flare up at half past three in the bloody morning???

Offspring has returned from his dad's, having "discovered" Dragonforce*

"IT'S EVERYTHING I WANT FROM MUSIC!!!"

They tell you before you get one that sighthounds are "really lazy," but I don't think you really grok it till you have one (or more) in the family. Like "they sleep 16-18 hours a day" is a fact that doesn't prepare you for the reality. "They really like blankets" actually means an exponential increase in the numbers of duvets and therefore duvet covers that need washing in the house.

This post brought to you by Ridley once more refusing to get out of bed, and clutching my legs so I can't get out of bed either.

Things I thought were a pointless indulgence before I hit 40:

• chondotrin and glucosamine supplements
• optrex
• naps
• bannisters
• grippy shoes so you don't fall down the stairs
• deliveroo
• did I mention optrex? So good. So so good. It's crack for the over 40s

Genuinely loving that #TracyChapman is getting lots of attention the last few days, but my GOD Fast Car is a persistent earworm. Can I interest you all in Talkin Bout A Revolution for a while, which is also an awesome song, and relevant to our times, and would be a nice change to have constantly rattling round my head?

Woken by the dog having a thrashing nightmare. Yay. Honestly, if I ever find the twat that gave him such a horrible start in life and necessitated us rescuing him there will be Words.

Cuddling shuddering beastie and trying to calm him now.

Me, in bed: I would like to sleep

Bladder: lol no, you need to get up and pee first

Me: *goes to pee, washes hands, gets back into bed * OK, sleep now?

Brain: you haven't worried enough today! Here are some random worries that you can't do anything about in the small hours of the morning

Me, sighing: you're not helping, brain. Shut up and let me sleep

Foot: can I interest you in a random itch that will not go away at this time?

Ridley enjoys train travel. Here he is checking the departure board, waiting for the train to arrive, and curled up in his seat.

Feeling unreasonably proud of myself for not "well actually"ing those joke tweets re British=/=English and Irish=/=Norn Iron flags because the joke is funny and still works and why be an arse about it?

The most wholesome and relaxing thing in the world?

Your child doing an autistic infodump.

Doesn't matter what about. Just that glorious, beautiful enthusiasm; that joy and fervour.

The most beautiful thing in the world.

Why do people on TV only ever walk their dogs if there's a dead body to be found? How do they know there's a body there and its time to take the dog out? Don't their dogs whinge to go out?

TFW you see people getting excited that Famous Person 1 is working with Famous Person 2, and you know that Famous Person 1 is an abuser, and there are very credible accounts of it, but they are also very litigious so the abuse accounts got swept under the carpet, but everyone in their particular industry knows about the abuse apart from, apparently, Famous Person 2, who everybody says is lovely.

I mean you've got to hope Famous Person 2 just doesn't know.

Christ the world is bleak.

Today has been A Day. But tonight there is gin.

A lady mixing a gin and tonic, into which she is pouring an entire bottle of gin and the tiniest smidge of tonic
