Here comes the Highland mannie… in OD
I can explain my title. I can has broadband! I can has a working laptop! Well, mostly anyway. I can has beer! I can has Scotland on the telly! Shit, never explained about the laptop. Was ...
This weekend wasn’t the best for me. I’ll likely talk more about most of it later. Because today I found out that Yaffa Phillips died. (I know that none of you knew Yaffa, but I didn’t want t...
And the book says in OD
Thank god for the royal wedding. Not that I actually watched it, I really couldn’t care less, but town wasn’t as busy as it usually is on a Saturday. I’ve had to change ISP. It’s slightly annoy...
It’s OK to not be OK in OD
This is a sequel of sorts to this entry. We’re coming up on Mental Health Awareness week. And there was a big reminder of why this is so important this week with the suicide of Scott Hutchison...
Don’t tell the gods, I made a mess in OD
So, turns out that my body may not like getting things done. I had the absolute worst stomach ache I’ve ever experienced. In fact, it was the worst pain of any kind I’ve ever experienced. That w...
(I love Private Eye. I wish I could afford a subscription, it is definitely worth it.) I’ve got past the “drink heavily and listen to loud angry music” phase and have moved on to doing stuff. ...
Appeal rejected in OD
Current mood:
All you have to do is call in OD
(I know I’ve used that image before, but it’s fitting for this entry.) I’ve always been a listening post for my friends. I don’t mind, except when they’re so busy moaning to me to realise I oc...
To catch a killer in OD
Those of you who have been reading my diary for a while will know that I’m obsessed with serial killers, mass murderers, spree killers and religious cults. I’m not sure why they fascinate me so...
Will went a-courtin in OD
(In this photo is four generations of my family on my dad’s side. See if you can spot me.) I had to go to court today to give my declarative statement about this bloody fine. I got there in p...
Appealing to their better nature in OD
I have been waiting for months to hear when my appeal against not getting ESA is going to be. Getting sick of it (as well as sick in general), I decided to phone them today to find out what was...
To fight the horde, and sing and cry in OD
Now, this is the bit of having a new tattoo I didn’t miss. The itching that I’m not allowed to scratch. Thankfully, putting more Bepanthen on it calms it down. I was supposed to get paid yest...
Funnily enough, I did genuinely ask for a 13 in OD
(Sorry about the blurry photo, it’s not an easy pic to take.) But, sadly, the 13 tattoo I wanted had already been claimed. So, I got this little critter instead. I originally thought it was a...
He asked for a thirteen in OD
Guess who is getting a new tattoo on Friday? I’ve gotten past “a new tattoo would be nice”, gone straight through “I want a new tattoo” and “I need a new tattoo” and have long since reached “I ...
Another plea in OD
(Incidentally, I did have the bowls from the Commonwealth Games on as background noise and noticed that they were playing music. Which is likely the only way they could keep the audience awake ...
Oh, hello! in OD
Cool, I can now use Courier New! It’s my default font for just about everything, including a couple of tats I have. So, I found out why I’ve been getting money taken off my benefits. It turns...
Scrivening in OD
Something completely unexpected but delightful happened today. I was watching a recording of a stage version of Hamlet starring Andrew Scott (Moriarty in Sherlock) when I was struck with the ur...
Recipe time! in OD
(I think it was one of the Hitchhikers Guide books that had a bit about tenses and time travel.) I’ve decided to share the recipe I’m using today for slow cook barbecue ribs. Now, there are so...
I need a freaking drink in OD
Bit of an odd way to send your message. (Incidentally, whenever I see these, I’m reminded of a certain diarist. I’m not sure why…) So, for a while now, I’ve been having £5 a week taken off my...
Just make it a good one in OD
This is something I saw on Facebook and had to share here as well. It’s called “The impact of a book” and I’m absolutely fascinated by it. It is stunning. I actually did something last night....
10 print “Hello world!” in OD
Leopard sculpture in Aberdeen in a not at all awkward to view position… The writing’s going well. Which is to say, it’s going well in my own head. I’ve got, what, five chapters and the ending...
We provide beverage in OD
This is the wee park near the flat on Sunday. Yes, we had more SNA! Sadly, it didn’t stick for longer than a day. Those of you who have read my ramblings for a while will know I’m a wrestling...
Ha! I’ll bet you forgot about the saga of me upgrading my phone, right? Last time I left this tale, I had left my new phone at the shop for them to send back. Unfortunately, that was just bef...
It always comes in threes in OD
There were three celebrity deaths in the UK this week. Two people most of you haven’t heard of, one that you definitely would have. The first one was Sir Ken Dodd. Inhabitant of Knotty Ash, i...
Will they change the bill of fare? in OD
(Seriously, what the hell does coverted even mean?) This is my latest theme of the week entry. Because this weeks theme is about food and I love talking about food. My favourite dish my mum m...
