I feel as if the week of "The Giggle" was just the weirdest time for the rest of the companion support group.
Ryan, Graham and Ace spent the entire week trying to stop the extended Khan family from micromanaging Ryan's marriage to Sonja.
Dan had to stop his parents hitting each other with pans.
Ian and Barbara had to stop their neighbours at the assisted living complex from throwing walking sticks at each other.
Tegan and Nyssa had to cancel their queer book club for that week because a fist-fight almost broke out amongst the other participants.
Jo Grant had to sternly tell her adult grandchildren off for swearing at each other.
Yaz, meanwhile, was on holiday in a small cottage in the peak district with her phone turned off. She had the most relaxed week of her life (and, tbh, she deserved it).

If the theory of dimensions existing is true I think I’d belong in the one where cartoons exist off screen. I have always found an immense joy in taking a peak into the “lives” of cartoons.
Growing up episodes of House of Mouse would come on and I would fall apart seeing cartoons from all movies and shows sitting together eating dinner like a dysfunctional family at the holidays trying to keep it together for the sake of love and tradition.
Or, in Roger Rabbit where the toons have a mind of their own and have their own alley ways and apartment buildings and spots where they stop to hang for a bite or a drink. Perhaps that spot is a couple blocks over in the goon patrolled dark alleys of Cool World. The concept of them having an off time, clocking out and existing elsewhere to be themselves always fascinated me.
To be able to be a cartoon. Where I perform but not for money, just for fun and laughs with friends. When the shows over I then slink off to my colorful and aesthetically perfect home with a chimney on top that puffs heart clouds. Where my neighbors are dear friends I grew up with and have known for years like Doug, Alice and the Mad Hatter, Mickey and Minnie and even good ol’ Betelgeuse over in the Netherworld district.
I have the latest fashions doodled on or waiting to be revealed in my romantically Rococo boudoir. My hair is always picture perfect and my perfume is a smoky waft of hands that lure and entice the nearby noses of those that admire. My garden is full of gossiping flowers from Alice in Wonderland and if you’re lucky you can spot a Momerath or two. The garden is large so if you wander on you’ll notice my pond covered in fantastical fantasia fairies, lounging Pegasus and centaurs, dancing fungi, and even a mermaid who’s quite friendly as long as you don’t share her beaux.
What I’m trying to say is someone to doodle me so I can live forever within the cels of dreams come true.

Let it Snow!
Curl up with one of these wintery reads and let it snow!
Invitation to a Killer by G.M. Malliet
Crime novelist Augusta Hawke expects to be quizzed on her writing skills when she's invited to a dinner party by aspiring writer Callie Moore. What she doesn't expect is to be solving a mystery, but that's just what happens when a kindly celebrity doctor in attendance meets his untimely end. Consequently, Augusta decides to host a writer's retreat and invite all the suspects, most of whom are connected in some way with writing. Can Augusta flush out the culprit before anyone else gets hurt?
This is the second volume in the "Augusta Hawke" series.
The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo
In the last years of the dying Qing Empire, a courtesan is found frozen in a doorway. Her death is clouded by rumors of foxes, which are believed to lure people by transforming themselves into beautiful women and handsome men. Bao, a detective with an uncanny ability to sniff out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman’s identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they’ve remained tantalizingly out of reach - until, perhaps, now.
The Hollows by Daniel Church
In a lonely village in the Peak District, during the onset of a once-in-a-lifetime snow storm, Constable Ellie Cheetham finds a body. A local man appears to have died in a tragic accident: he drank too much and froze to death. But the facts don't add up: the dead man is clutching a knife, and there's evidence he was hiding from someone. The next victims are two families on the outskirts of town. As the storm rises and the body count grows, Ellie realizes she has a terrifying problem on her hands: someone - or some thing - is using the storm to kill indiscriminately.
Three Holidays and a Wedding by Uzma Jalaluddin
Strangers and seatmates Maryam and Anna, confessing their deepest hopes and fears to one another during severe turbulence on their shared flight, soon find themselves snowbound in a picture-perfect town after an emergency landing. As Maryam finds the courage to open her heart and Anna feels the magic of being snowbound with an unexpected new love - both women soon realize there’s no place they’d rather be for the holidays.

THE BASICS:
FULL NAME: Elias Brian Wyler
NICKNAMES: Ellie, to close friends
AGE & BIRTHDAY: 37 & May 11, 1987
BIRTHDAY PLACE: Honolulu, HI
GENDER IDENTITY: Cis man, he/him
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
MARITAL STATUS: Married (technically), but separated
ZODIAC: ☼ Taurus ☾ Aries ↑ Aries
+ TRAITS: Empathetic, Spontaneous, Sensual, Practical
- TRAITS: Pretentious, Stubborn, Cynical, Unreliable
NEIGHBORHOOD: Cardinal Hill
OCCUPATION: Fisherman & Charter Guide @ Finest Catch
PERSONALITY:
His good days are good and his bad days are the worst -- Elias leads a life with no middle ground. He tends to exist on a high frequency, abundant energy transformed into a tunnel vision focus for errant hobbies, often shirking basic responsibilities and bailing on those closest to him. He's little talk and all action, impulsivity and passion creating a colorful reputation in his wake. Even when he's deemed pretentious and cynical, he still takes pride in the fact that no one could ever call him lukewarm.
BIOGRAPHY:
Elias would tell you that he was born on the run (most likely while sitting in a nondescript bar, fishing cherries out of a Dirty Shirley), but that's not quite the truth. It sounds like it, on the first telling, when he carries on to list everywhere he lived between the ages of zero and eighteen; Hawaii, Georgia, Italy, Japan, Washington, Illinois, etc. It's a lot, sure, but there was never any urgency to it. No fear or rush as the Wyler family packed up for the umpteenth time and moved across the country again. The excitement of getting a fresh start in a new neighborhood and new school district wore off somewhere around the sixth grade for Elias. It had become routine. After all, that's just the hand you're dealt as a military brat, huh?
For being a Marine, Elias never viewed his father as a particularly strict figure in his life. He was absent, mostly, sometimes even missing holidays at home. And his mother, overburdened with five children and a part-time job as a school nurse, never became a fully-formed individual in his mind, either. As he grew up, he became thankful for their habitual moving, frequently acting out and never facing consequences because of it. It wasn't until they moved to Illinois just before the start of his junior year that Elias felt like anything would ever be permanent -- and even then, it still wasn't. He made sure of it.
With stars in his eyes, he graduated from Blue Harbor High in a rush, desperate to start his life in every conceivable way. The first thing he did was get married, impulsively (AKA stupidly) tying the knot with his then high school girlfriend. They ushered in a rocky relationship that had no chance at lasting. Elias stuck it out for a few years, determined to believe that he'd put down roots for good, but after a few summers working at The Finest Catch, he cashed out. He left without warning, not telling a soul when he booked a one-way ticket to Australia and just went.
Elias would argue that it's his upbringing that kept him on the move for so long. After a paradoxically sheltered yet cultured life experience, he wanted to explore the world in his own way. To literally broaden his horizons, bounding between countries and states. Somewhere along the way, Elias picked up photography, becoming half-decent at it and garnering a few minor publications. His recognition peaked with his thirties, taking him to New York and thus beginning his lover era. Meeting and falling for Danika turned Elias into an idealist, swept up into the notion of a charmed life he'd never known before, but reality came knocking when they started to talk marriage -- and he remembered he had a wife back in Blue Harbor. Using his mother's hometown and the inheritance of a fishing boat as a two-pronged excuse to transplant their lives, he hoped to make quick work of his divorce in private. Naturally, it didn't go that smoothly. He was found out, his relationship unspooled right before his eyes, and he still didn't get those damn divorce papers signed. If he wasn't so stubborn, Elias would've hit the ground running, but with a lease hanging over his head and the accidental rekindling of histories starting again, he's making a valiant attempt at weathering the storm… for now.
HEADCANONS & EXTRAS:
one of the least judgmental people you'll ever meet! considers life to be one big joke of an experiment and maintains that nothing is ever set in stone.
that being said, elias has his bouts of pretention -- catch him on a Sad Drunk night and he'll for sure lament the death of print media.
very much a failed photographer (emphasis on failed as his professional career petered out over the last 2-ish years), but he still enjoys the rare silence of a darkroom now and then.
has several scattered tattoos that lack any sort of meaning. his oldest ink is the marine corps emblem on his upper arm, which he got to match his baby brother who'd just enlisted at the time -- jake didn't find it as funny as elias thought it was.
partied hard in his 20s, dabbling in all sorts of substances, but he's since pulled back. he won't turn down a good offer if it comes his way, buuuut... yeah, he's feeling his age more often than not.
unironically could still describe his nights out tho (catch him gettin' booted from the pour house!)
for as flighty as he is, elias is exceptional at his job. he's felt at home within the sway of waves, often extending his visits to more tropical locales, so he's right at home on the docks. the only drawback? charters. he gets reprimanded a lot for rolling his eyes at people who don't know how to bait a hook.
never had any pets growing up, so he's one of those freaks that sort of treats animals like independent human beings themselves.

My family doesn't celebrate Christmas, so I'm considering using every ounce of my Single Woman With Disposable Income And No Dependents privilege to stay at somewhere in the Peak District over the bank holiday. HOWEVER, I don't know how I feel about driving up there if it's icy or extremely rainy and/or foggy.
Yesterday I drove on Kirkstone Pass in the Lake District with heavy rain and partial flooding, and now there are permanent finger marks left in my steering wheel. The drive required 100% of my brain power to the extent that I almost attained Nirvana and transcended my physical form, leaving behind nothing but a USB drive containing a single text file that said 'aaaaaaaaaa'.
Kirkstone Pass looks like this, which is very pretty but doesn't convey the discomfort of driving on it while there are huge fuck off puddles taking up half the road:

Patrick Pearse spent much of the last summer of his life (1915) in Rosmuck, Connemara with his brother Willie and a friend named Desmond Ryan.
It was a relaxed holiday although Pearse found the time to write one of Ireland's most famous speeches - 'Ireland unfree shall never be at peace,' spoken at the graveside of O'Donovan Rossa and considered by many as a key moment in the lead up to the Easter Rising.
Ryan recalled the summer fondly:
"The next day we proceeded to Rosmuck by train, or rather part of the way, for Rosmuck lies nine miles from a railway station, and we had a long drive by side-car through granite and peat from Maam Cross Station over winding, peak-screened roads.
It was a stirring view along those serpentine roads, ever winding and twisting to avoid the bog.
The horse trotted bravely while an O’Malley drove, and Pearse explained what famous people the O’Malleys were in Connemara.
All the while, bluish granite mountains soared and all around spread the peat-bogs starred by the tiny lakes, each with a local name and every name known to Pearse, who declared for the hundredth time he could find his way blindfold on any road in Connacht.
The Twelve Bens came in sight and Pearse waved his hand here and there over the land, naming lake, mountain and district away to the Joyce Country under its purple mist.
He told us many stories he had learned from the people.
Away there on that gloomy mountain yonder a stranger had lived for years, coming suddenly in the night from nowhere, henceforth a hermit, perhaps doing a penance of solitude and silence for some deed of blood.
We passed a peculiar green building of corrugated iron, a Protestant Church, [Screebe?] and then Pearse remembered that many years before the Bible Societies had carried out a proselytising campaign, and even in 1915 a small remnant of the Irish-speaking Protestant colonies still survived.
Once on his rambles, Pearse had met one of the members, an old man up in a cottage among the hills who opened his Gaelic Bible, read it aloud and argued with Pearse for an hour until the old man’s daughter came in and told her father that he had no manners and that he did not know how to treat a learned man who knew enough Irish and enough Bible to make up his mind for himself, and the attempted conversion of Pearse went no further.
A lonely letter-box on a post at a crossroads led Pearse to tell of the extravagant family, long bankrupt and extinct, who had had the box erected as a monument to their exclusiveness, recklessness and pride.
A barracks rose beside the rattling wheels and Pearse knew that the sergeant within was a crusty and cantankerous fellow companioned by six splendid constables, enthusiastic Irish speakers who spent their time in shooting wild ducks, fishing and studying with zeal the poems of Eoghan Ruadh O’Sullivan.
The car stopped at the schoolmaster’s house and Patrick Connolly welcomed Pearse warmly. His wife came out too.
Inside like startled birds, the four daughters of the schoolmaster retreated from our gaze while their mother laughed and said they would grow out of all that, but when young people lived among lakes and bogs they became curlews and mountain birds, easily startled by wild young men from the cities and poets from Dublin, all this for Willie and me whose ties and locks must have startled her ducklings.
We proceeded to the cottage, a white, thatched, oblong building with green
door, porchway and two windows in front, approached by a peat-sodded path from the main road. Here was the spiritual home of Pearse, which in the last years he visited every summer to pay a last farewell.
Below lay a fifty-acre lake legend tenanted with a Water Horse.
Beyond the rare walls of the cottage, the Atlantic heaved and moaned with tales of lost ships or murmured a summons to ride on its bosom to the Aran Isles on a fair day.
On every side rose the purple hills and peat, agleam with unnumbered lakelets. Pearse sat at the kitchen table writing the closing tales in his book of short stories, 'The Mother.'
He turned aside to discuss the completed stories with Willie and me, and said he thought the best the grimmest one, a tale of a woman under a curse called the “Black Chafer.”
Then he sighed that he had never written a story about turf or shown up enough the
hard life of the people. He said this sadly with almost the air of a man who all at once comes upon an intolerable personal grievance.
Sometimes he went down and bathed in the lake while Willie guarded him from the banks with a long, strong rope as Pearse was no swimmer. This tickled the brothers so much that they gave up the attempt with loud merriment and mutual criticisms.
Returning, Pearse mused on his cottage and said that one of the builders had been an old man who took his task very slowly and seriously, making progress by inches, but consoling Pearse’s impatience with the sole remark:
“Won’t it be a fine house when it is finished. Indeed it will be a fine house when it is finished.”
Pearse was more outspoken than I had ever known him before.
Night by night he spoke to Willie and me about everything by turns.
Much about the future of the Irish language. Here in this self-contained community which he had once known as purely Irish-speaking, English was creeping in among the younger generation.
It amused him when we walked abroad in the day-time to speak to the men working
the land and smile at the English expressions speckling the Gaelic:
“Becripes, tá . . . bedamned but tá...' from those who knew no other words of English, but he said this was the beginning of the end unless some great change came.
And what the change would be sometimes broke through his thoughts...
Who could have guessed that behind his gentle words and look, an insurrection simmered, a certainty that his days were irrevocably numbered and in this place he would never see in another summer?"
Pictured above are Patrick Pearse and his brother Willie, neither of whom would live to see the summer of 1916.
Taken from Desmond Ryan's 1934 auto-biography 'Remembering Sion.'
All of this was taken whole cloth from The History of Connemara Facebook group.

NYE Post
I love a good NYE post where I summarise the ups and downs of the year and put into thoughts what I’m looking forward to next year. I try to keep it brief, I rarely succeed. I feel this is essentially like those old fashioned round robin letters people still occasionally do in Christmas cards!
Bad bits - All the World Events/cost of living and energy crisis/War and weather aside... I finally caught covid, an old friend passed away in horrible circumstances, my dear bunny Cloud died in June, a relative has fallen very ill and may not have long left to live and at the start of the year my mental health was in shocking shape. I also broke my wrist playing 5-aside football with work in September.
The Good - I completed an amazing course of therapy which has left me feeling so much more confident and happy in myself - it really has changed my outlook on life. I saw the Francis Bacon exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts in March, I’ve also visited several fascinating museums and exhibitions. There’s been lots of concerts, the most amazing being seeing Placebo again at Portsmouth Guildhall, seeing Joe Jackson with my dad and after years of trying to see them live, getting to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at all points east festival with @cassandrafey My husband and I had a long road trip up to the lake district to visit his family as well as see where he grew up and visit some of my favourite places too, it was lovely. I did a 27 and a half mile walk with work for charity (The Surrey Three Peaks challenge but we got a bit lost), it was the most physically difficult thing I’ve done in my life and I was so proud of myself. For my birthday we went to Longleat Safari and stayed overnight nearby - we fed the lorikeets and the seals, it was absolutely perfect. In October my husband and I went abroad for the first time since June 2019, we went to Rhodes, Greece and it was beautiful, relaxing and romantic. We had a lovely wedding anniversary and went to the Theatre to see Swan Lake. And finally we had a 3 night family holiday to Bruges where we experienced all the magic of late Autumn/cold crisp winter and saw all the Christmas lights.
New Year’s Resolutions - I pretty much have one this year and that is simply. To be more mindful. More mindful about what I spend my money on, what I eat, how I take care of myself, how I react to situations, what I reveal about myself at work, how much I drink at comedy gigs, what and who I spend time and energy on.
Looking to 2023 - On the one hand next year already has some very big plans and will be busy, but due to this my plan is to keep other times quieter than usual and focus more on me and the relationships I hold dear/my home. I’ll still be performing comedy but not doing as much or chasing it, I’ll continue to run the comedy night’s I run and will still perform once or twice a month at new gigs/the best gigs/gigs worth doing and am doing a Split show at Brighton and Ventnor fringe festivals, but that’s it. I want to focus more on the funeral industry and potential career change and my writing.
Plans for 2023 - There’s a few loose ones like my husband and I hopefully going to Ireland for a week. But set in stone the biggest adventure I have is going to New Zealand with my dad in May (and a night in Singapore) to explore, show him my favourite places and see family. We have Beltane Festival at the end of April at Butser Ancient Farm and in September I’m off to Budapest with the wonderful @cassandrafey to see IAMX. Oh and we may have bought tickets to see Def Leppard and Motley Crue in London....
So that’s my re-cap for the year, whether anyone reads it or not, it strangely makes me feel better knowing I’ve written it all down and can reflect in time to come.
In the meantime, I wish you all a very Happy New Year!
(Photos are of: Cloud the bunny, Sunset in Rhodes, me on my birthday, The Lake District with my husband, Bruges)
