Just tried to book a GP appointment using their new and spangly online booking system. It only operates when the practise is open! 🤯

As with all good holidays it ends with a trip to the hospital with 7yo, nothing major, but it’s tradition 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh dear lord. It’s gone live!

I mean, with helpful answers like this, why would anyone need to check the answer to any question they ask AI? I asked it what the flag at Lymington ferry port was, and gave it a description

Some said it could not be done….but I finish the day with an empty to-do list!

Here we go @mattjejackson.bsky.social

@mattjejackson.bsky.social Matt, long shot and short notice I know, but I have some tickets to Eng v WI ODI in Cardiff. Would u be interested?

In light of the impending half-term holiday I was inspired to build a Star Wars scene that captures what, I suspect, I will be saying a lot of next week: “Well I did tell you that would happen; I did warn you!”

Walk into kitchen to find MrsS drawing a Batman costume onto a carrot. When asked what she is doing she looks at me aghast and says “it’s super vegetable day for year 1”….obviously!

Just finished Andor s2. Now trying to encourage MrsS to take kids away for a weekend so I can binge both seasons of it and then go straight into Rogue 1 and then A New Hope in one go

Normal service is restored

A brief departure from Star Wars 1 bit missing which is annoying, so am on the look out for a replacement part.

Next one done. Least favourite build so far, but REALLY clear instructions (a lesson Lego may wish to adopt!)

First day of All Stars cricket starts with a trip to the playground. 😀

@inquisitors.bsky.social

Multi day trial gets postponed on the evening before it starts….so I have to find something to fill the time, right
