The hardest part of loving a pet is knowing when to let them go.
Hengist has been my closest friend for 15 years, but sadly I think he might be coming towards the end of his time.
I really don't want to do it, but I can't watch him struggling like this anymore 🥺

I've got really bad writers block, 75-80,000 words into the sequel to The Unusual Suspects and I'm struggling to finish it.
But my creativity has found a way of working it's way out.

You know when you come to that really sad realization that you wasted so much time and energy on worthless people 😔
This song tells such a great story 👍

Not a great few days, first Maggie Smith and Kris Kristofferson.

Friends and co-stars including Barbra Streisand and Dolly Parton remember the country music legend.

People sometimes get me wrong, I don't avoid people who have wronged me because I'm scared of them.
I actually avoid them because I'm scared of what I"d like to do to them.
Backstabbing and shallow disloyalty are my particular favorites, but lying or spreading lies are pretty high on my list!!

You know what, I wasn't surprised to hear that the former owner of the poshest corner shop in Britain was a total s*x pest, but it's shocking to see how many people enabled him.
I'm with Tim Minchin on this one, go listen to 'The Pope Song'.

Doctors, senior personal assistants and security staff enabled the Harrods owner’s assaults, witnesses say.

Yet another nasty evil s*x pest got away with what they did, and well done to all the sleaze bags who help cover it up.
May you all rot alongside him, in hell.

Evidence was presented by police in 2009 and 2015 over s*x abuse claims against Mohammed Al Fayed.

I've been reading the reports of the attacks against Hezbollah, and whatever your views on who's right and who's wrong (good luck with that one), it's made me realise that Israel may have now created a new form of terror related warfare.
We all carry electronic devices, what's to stop a terror group from doing this to anyone of us.

A second wave of communication device explosions killed at least 20 people, Lebanese officials say.
