Age yourself with a film you saw in the theatre.

Please appreciate my travel notebook. I make notes on things to do before I leave and add to it if I find something knew when I'm there. I have more cities written than this but these are two examples.

Happy birthday to horse!

regret to inform everyone this is a real guy who could be pope

The struggles of being a picky-adventurous eater are fun. Like I'll eat steak tartare! And escargot! I just have certain textures I just can't deal with.

Me leaving the dentist to immediately go to a café for coffee and cake

My top favourite country cuisines: 10. All 9. Cuisines 8. Are 7. Great 6. And 5. Ranking 4. Them 3. Is 2. Reductive 1. Spanish cuisine

I don't know what colour mixing videos are on but colour names actually have meaning, you can't just call something 'dark khaki' when it's literally a lime green.

I've had to buy Dad a birthday cake from the shop rather than making one myself this year. How will I cope.

Austen-based BBC period dramas do brighten up winter nights. (Current one called Miss Austen)

This feels like it's rather stretching the definition of skyscraper to me...

I know seeing a funny meme, saving it as an image and then seeking out the "without downloading new pics, where are you mentally" post isn't in the spirit of the thing, but it is technically allowed.

Without downloading new pics/vids, where are you mentally?

There are some lovely bookmarks and stickers at this shop!

I think if I ever met my younger self for coffee, it's her who should be healing me, because everything seemed so simple when your whole life was ahead of you. Also I want to know where her fierceness went, when life softened my sharp edges, not always for the better.

For the first time in nearly a week... Man, I feel like a human!

As the Miley Cyrus song says... I can buy myself books.

One thing I've noticed when the news talks about adults still living with their parents, is that they never talk about people living with elderly parents because they've taken on a caring role for them.

Day five of achy joints, shivering, lack of appetite, fatigue and cough.

The fact that every adult in the nursery has come down with 'a cold with flu-like symptoms' is more interesting in light of the fact that one of the children has a confirmed case of COVID.

If Coca-Cola not health drink, why Coca-Cola make me feel better when I'm poorly? (I know there's a scientific explanation like 'the sugars give you energy!' but I'm choosing to believe it's magic)

The two types of ADHD organization: My best friend's birthday is in November. I have already bought her present, wrapped it, included a card, and written her address out on the package My Dad's birthday is this month. I... heh.

First daffodil of the year!

Post a picture of you all dressed up This photo is from pre-covid and still the best photo of me I've ever taken

The best method I've found for my French Press. Let it brew for a few minutes, add a tiny amount of sugar and milk.

The strange thing about "Dragon Age is woke now" is that the most politically revelant game in the franchise is Dragon Age 2.

Scotland is British Canada.

Business idea: bar with takeaway cocktails. That way, the designated driver doesn't have to miss out.

Fiona and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Filibuster Topics: 1. British cuisine and why it's underrated 2. Pokémon: why EVs and IVs are fun even if you do not play competitive 3. Female historical figures that time forgot

I'm mostly excited about the tea.

Hovering the timer bar (with preview images) at the end of a video is the modern day equivalent of peeking at the back pages of a book.

For 500 years people have been coming up with technology after technology to replace, alter or disrupt books and they have all failed because business geniuses are somehow incapable of understanding that people really like reading

Think my calling was to be born in a family of artisan food producers that had been doing it for generations. Do the same tasks so often you get good at it, but can work relatively independently and quietly, and get good food out of it in the process.

Nominative determinism of the day

Coffee Shop AUs would never work, when I worked at a café I cleared away a napkin with numbers on it, was so out of it that I only vaguely remember thinking "why would anyone write a bunch of numbers on a napkin? Huh, weird," and it wasn't until later that it hit me that it was a phone number.
