    When you’re wondering why you haven’t seen posts from someone for a while, and wonder if your head’s scrambled, but then realise that stepped on the rainbow earlier in the year.

    I read somewhere that the look for Tim Curry’s FrankNFurter was inspired by Queen Elizabeth. And I was a bit dubious until I saw Olivia Coleman’s QE2 iN the Crown and thought she was channeling FrankNFurter.

    Embussed, on a crowded bus full of high school kids with ridiculously big backpacks. I was THAT cranky middle aged woman reminding them to put their bags on their laps so others can sit down. Why, oh, why can’t parents travel-train their children?

    Saturday night in #ApartmentLyf, a gathering in a flat up the hallway, all you can hear are very loud voices, sounding off in disagreement, followed by strangled-cat-karaoki, &amp;amp; by rhythmic clapping. Someone (not me) has already banged at their door begging them to keep it down.

    Finally sitting on my own couch after an unplanned 12 days in the horsepital. Unfortunately, I’ve left a half a head of hair behind, but I have some spectacular bruised from the venepuncturists. #ChemoSucks

    As a solo person in a seat-yourself cafe, where it’s first-in, best-dressed, it truly grinds my gears when pairs look at me hopefully, expecting me to budge from my comfy table to the bar.

    Tonight’s trip to #MidsomerMurders has been preempted by the French Open Tennis. My murder fix will be satisfied by a visit to Foyle’s War (not bookshop) with the excellent Michael Kitchen.
