I’m not one for praying but I did this morning and thought of Lisa. I also asked for strength for all the Abi family because we are going to need it more than ever as those above us ramp up the fear factor. I have already decided that I will not be rising to their bait, only gives them negative energy to feed on. Anyway I am officially a pensioner from tomorrow and am awaiting my bus pass with excitement! 🤣 bring it on!! Stay strong everyone xx thanks again Abi for bringing us together x
I’ve just got my second one and had the birthday that made me reapply for my driving licence. They took away my beloved paper one from 1977 and now I’ve got the photo one ...me looking like an inmate.
Good luck with the happy birthday screening test that arrives in the post. 😊 💩
Oh goodness Abi, I have felt very down today. I had , until yesterday ,avoided all media regarding Israel/Gaza. So, after absorbing much content I couldn't sleep last night. I went to the gym this morning where they were playing horrible music. I had to leave early, I just couldn't take it. When I got home I couldn't eat anything and wrote a Substack about what has been running around my brain: https://laurasuckling.substack.com/p/a-very-tragic-time
It has given me sleepless nights too, having watched some grotesque videos on social media by complete accident really. It really induces fight or flight. The shock is immense. Hope you find peace and sleep soon x
The very *best* thing about your Pod Abi is that you are yourself - and whatever mood that finds you in. It's an antidote to the normal media where everything is so sterile (fake) and Facebook etc which is also forced and fake. Genuine and open is rare!! And I for one value it very highly. So you needn't ever worry about not always being full of positivity or energy - it's for the better. I am pretty sure you know that but it's worth confirming I think. xxx
Hilarious the Ayatollah in the bath ! Can I just say like the M&S advert it’s not just a bath it’s a roll top with nice little chunky legs or feet whatever they’re called 😂 .. get locked down can’t go on holiday so we had 2 new bathrooms for goodness sake. Loved the letter about Terry I am literally just keeping my head above that water line I get it Abi. I’ve cried so much for Nick and Chris that I think they’d both say enough now. In other news I’ve been given a ticket to see Ricky Gervais at the London Palladium on Friday, hmm yes I like him but I didn’t like his zero mentions of the tyranny. I’ll let you all know if he says anything it’s called Armageddon his new tour. Loved the bee 🐝 x
I saw Ricky Gervais Armageddon in Sheffield this year. It was great but literally one hour. We were back in the street at 9.15pm! There's a lot close the bone and politically incorrect but I respect him for saying what he does as comedy is dumbed down so much these days. I lost some respect for him after the jab photo but I'm glad I saw him live even if it was short and not exactly cheap xx
Thanks for being you....your voice is a comfort blanket no matter what mood you are in.......the visual of you sitting on the loo having a poo not so much and on a meaningful Wednesday too 😩 You were meant to stay afloat my lovely, so glad you did and I salute your bravery 🫡🙏
Tough week this week for everybody by the sounds of it. I keep saying ‘just keep swimming’ to myself and hope I don’t drown in the horror of it all.
The strip at the bottom of your oven where Stuart is hiding is called a kick plate I think.
Hi Abi have you not found any mouse shit evidence? They are tiny little rockhard black shits about 2mm in size but if in your cavity wall you won't see any until the family move in, my mam had a static caravan in Seahouses it was closed for 6 weeks over the winter then come end of Feb we went up to find when opening the door what the fuck has happened to the carpet a good chunk of the corner had gone them the dogs started going ape shit on further investigation bits of foam then one if the jack Russell's was on her back legs barking towards the fitted microwave on a shelf so I slightly moved it and the biggest 🐀 rat flew out past my head I was hysterical the Jack's were shit and couldn't catch it we opened patio doors just gross we had to sterilise everything it had got in through the toilet I still to this day have a phobia of rats.
Oh Abi the story in the book about your loss of Terry made me cry. You've come along way since and he would be damn proud of you. Thank you for keeping your head above water. You mean so much to us xx 💗
Doyle DID create Titania McGrath though. Who was well ahead of many of us.
Murray is correct about Gaza too..he describes it all as a massive flare that has lit up the dark sky so we can see who will retain their humanity re the beheading of babies and children in an Israeli kibbutz. And who quickly shuts their humanity down and rushes off to excuse,condone,equivocate and numb themselves to that reality.
At least Herod had an excuse to do the same...evil and Machiavellian as it was .
Yes COVID and the fallout has screwed us over...but there is no hiding from the fact that Hamas( which in Hebrew is "violence", FYI...beheaded babies ,toddlers and children.
Please don't faiil to see that if you see that as psyops or Murray being an arse?...then they've won. And we'll deserve what comes.
Don't join the blue tick monsters that quibble about when throats being cut is seen as not decapitation....God Bless Israel.
Have you ever considered that you might have subconsciously 'self-sabotaged' so that you did not go to Cambs? Maybe it was instinct/God intervening? I was given what most would consider an incredible opportunity (offer) to go to a very good college in Cambs to study a massively oversubscribed course (Engineering). Then I dropped out of a very selective Engineering maths course based around AI at Bristol Uni. I seemingly did everything I could to make sure this type of 'success' didn't happen for me. After that I was offered, on a plate, it seemed, amazing opportunities for TV or other performance jobs (eg aerial jobs or stunt jobs with Cirque de Soleil, concerts with Take That and Kylie, Theatre shows, Olympic (satanic) shows etc) and every time I just copped out somehow (I did perform but never wanted to go too deep into it). I was approached once by a director and told "you have everything we are looking for" and I said "no I don't" and he walked away. I do not know why I said that - it just popped out! I have always felt terrible about all this - that I have wasted a privilege that others do not have. UNTIL the last few months when I realise that there is another way to look at it - every time, some higher power has led me away from these paths that are valued by society but not every really by me. If I look at where I could have ended up as a result it would have been in the belly of the beast. That is what I see now. I believe my sister was led down a questionable path (having been a Russian scholar at SEES then studying an MA at LSE and working as a journalist in Russia specialising in Oil and Gas) and she has suffered terribly (a huge story). In the last few years she has become a serious Christian and seems to be recovering. So, now more than ever I believe you might not get what you want but what you need. I am starting to let go of all this horrible regret!
And you Abi have helped me so much along this path by openly and honestly sharing your own experiences. xxxx

I’m so glad I picked up my iPhone 6s and pressed record!! 😊🥰🙏
You were kept afloat for a reason xx
Thank you for your prayers.
Have a great birthday. 🙏🎂💖
Thank you, my bus pass arrived! 👍🏻

Bless you, darling Laura. Thanks for sharing this. Tomorrow is another day. ❤️🐝
Just heard this song on Rogan from the 70's. This guy wrote it about Janis Joplin, I think it's pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q9TXKvdT3Y&ab_channel=LarryNorman
I love it! Right up my strasse X
It has given me sleepless nights too, having watched some grotesque videos on social media by complete accident really. It really induces fight or flight. The shock is immense. Hope you find peace and sleep soon x
You too x
Love Abi. Keeps us all going. Keep going and keep being you xx

I’ve said it before, the love you have for Terry makes my heart melt.
💖💖💖

I would be very interested to know what the Ricky Gervais show was like. Enjoy Suzanne.

“Just keep swimming”, I’m going to remember that Jules xx
very thought provoking an beautiful pod
Hi Abi have you not found any mouse shit evidence?

Gosh, I wish I could sleep in the afternoons like you Abi, it just won’t happen for me regardless of how tired I am.
A lovely story of you meeting George at the church in Barbados after Terry died 💖
It’s not a very regular occurrence, but I was so bushed. I hadn’t slept properly last night! I think I’m eating bit too late. 🤷♀️
Yes, I love that memory of meeting George. It was the first of many ‘signs’ for me X
💖
