Still laughing at my mum from Sunday.
Me:'Try Train to Busan. It's really good.'
Mum: 'Is it zombies?'
Me:'Yes, but great story.'
Mum:(Deadly serious)'I always feel so sorry for zombies. They're very tragic. It's not their fault they have to eat human flesh, is it? Poor things.'

Me n Ted both a bit sleepy today. Mainly because for about ten minutes at 2am this morning Ted was barking madly, 'IT'S A NEW MILKMAN! WAKE UP! IT'S A NEW MILKMAN! HE'S GOT THE MILK! HE'S PUTTING THE MILK DOWN NOW! HE'S GOING BACK TO THE VAN NOW! BUT I'M STILL BARKING ANYWAY!

Very sad to see Dan Simmons comments on Greta Thunberg on Facebook. But not for Greta, who's clearly a powerhouse, but for a 71 year old white man who can't see that maybe we should listen to youth when it comes to saving the planet and wants to call her 'bratty'.

I used to think authors didn't update their author photos out of some weird vanity, but now that mine are 8(?) years old and I have a different hair colour, I realise that it's actually that they just CAN'T BE BOTHERED. Sigh. Note to self: new photos. At some point.

One thing I never want to see in a film again after this is a woman going into a hotel bathroom with long blonde hair, a box dye and a pair of nail scissors and coming out with a perfect brunette pixie bob. WE KNOW BETTER. Also, I just trimmed my hair. This may be related.

What baffles me most about the Cummings story is why, if you think you have/have Covid, would you then travel hundreds of miles to be in the vicinity of the two elderly people that technically you should love and want to protect the most? Surely you'd be glad they weren't near?

I have the glooms this evening. I thought my oven was broken earlier and the sense of utter despair at being fucked for cooking food and on my own hit me. THEN I GOT OUT THE MANUAL AND PRESSED SOME BUTTONS AND IT LIVED AGAIN!! But that's how close the edge feels at the moment.

Me: 'Mum I think you should read the paper on line rather than going out every day to get it when you're in isolation. I'll pay.'

Ted at home: I HAVE DROPPED A TINY PIECE OF KIBBLE IN THIS CLEAN DRINKING WATER, CHANGE IT, CHANGE IT NOW, IT'S DISGUSTING.

I mean the one believable thing they could have said is that 'He had to drive 260 miles cos he has no one closer than that who'd be prepared to help them, because it seems everyone else thinks he's an utter cunt.' Well, they certainly do now.
