The Coles supermarket ones are nice down here. Had one for lunch yesterday.

Things are getting very, very silly now. British model Emily Ratajkowski has basically implied that you're a misogynist if you don't like Taylor Swift.

“I was not a Swiftie and now I’m like, ‘You know what that means? That means I was a misogynist that I didn’t f–k with Taylor Swift,” she told Sivan. “I went to her concert and I was like, ‘This person is an incredible songwriter, an incredible performer, and anybody who says anything else? Like, they have issues. And actually maybe not a very sophisticated palette.’ … If you don’t like Taylor Swift, then, like, you don’t understand things.”

So if you don't have Taylor's music on your MP3 player I'm afraid you have serious issues. I don't wish her any ill will, but her music is not my cup of tea. Next they'll be saying if you don't find Emily "like" Ratajkowski gorgeous you're a raging homosexual.

Clown world thinking at it's finest.

Such people need a f*cking reality check. I've got f*cking bills to pay, a f*cked economy and GP waiting times extending into infinity to worry about.

I have heard her name, I may have heard her music, I do not f*cking care and I wouldn't even if I didn't have 100 better things to worry or think about.

Hoping to go back to reading a book a week again. I really haven't done much reading for quite a while now and if I want to do well on my upcoming creative writing course I better start refilling my brain with ideas and knowledge. Some goes for prose writing.

Found a Gull with a broken, bleeding wing at the weekend. Rescued the poor thing and did my best to look after it. Called the RSPCA right away, got no idea when they would come. I called them to update them that it's wing had started bleeding again, still no idea when they'd get their. My wife was at work, so I spent the better part of a day fretting over the poor bird until I just said bugger this and drove the half hour drive to the only place that would take him, also having to find out they would probably just uthanise the bird after all that anyway. Not unexpected but still sad. The RSPCA finally left a message for me 24 hours later telling me to do what is already done.

I get that their busy, but they could have just told me that right away and I'd have been able to help end a poor creature's suffering much sooner and not spent most of a day fretting.

Off to collect my English results shortly. I'm optimistic, but a bit nervous as well.

Got a six which is the equivalent of a higher B grade. Very happy with that.

Congrats!

It's crazy to think I've got over 44,000 views for five videos on one of my YouTube accounts. I musn't take the credit, though. All I did was upload rare episodes of a sitcom.

Urgh, I hate rats. I've got a phobia of them actually along with mice. I went for a walk to Tesco earlier which is located near a country park. On my way there I saw one and then another one soon after which jumped out in front of me. After that one I heard some other ones scurrying in the bushes. If I wasn't so composed in public I probably would have legged it. Does anyone here have phobias of certain animals?

Anything that could actually kill me, like most of the wildlife in this country.

Went to a James Bond music by candle light concert this evening. The songs were performed by west end singers. It was a very nice night and the songs all sounded great, but I must knock off a point because they didn't play The Living Daylights!

Was bricking it all of last week knowing I had to start my Maths course on the 5th. Found out a few days ago that the course actually starts on the 19th of the month, more than two weeks time. Life is good sometimes!
