- This is a test of stamina and endurance at this point.
- Hard to convince me that this wasn't a better era for news broadcasts. Also feel like my dinner should be ready about now- sausages, beans and mashed potato shaped into a wigwam.
- That picture of the king's brother has put me over the edge, have to do this. I made a conscious decision when I moved on here that I wasn't using it as a news source. Can't be avoided but I just can't hack reading about these awful, awful people.

- A decade ago, neuroscience said the brain finishes maturing around 25. Can I just pre-empt the declaration in a decades time that it's actually 42 (iykyk) and then the subsequent realisation that mental growth and changes in perspective in fact happen throughout a human life, until we die?

- I know Masked Singer is deeply weird but it is also wonderful to hear this Toastie singing River Deep, Mountain High. Throwback to a golden age of Saturday night telly. Whoever she is, she's absolutely incredible.
- Last day of January and it's all kicking off.
- Me and the birds are out celebrating a brief pause in the rain.
- I can see through my wall. Less than ideal.

- Aw, gutted about this. My go-to for Miners and Constance Carroll makeup in the 80s, big earrings and pick and mix. Since then, helped me set up my first home, rear kids, sort school supplies, and every other random thing. www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/norther...
