Might be slow to Slow Horses but boy are we catching up. I haven’t watched anything so bingeable in ages

The Artists Way. Bit errr… isn’t it? I’ll do the 3 pages but I’m not taking myself on a ‘fun date’ ffs

Oh yeah, I also now have a podcast. For the first episode I'm the one being interviewed - about Peakrill Press, my current Kickstarter, and more. Find it at audio.peakrill.com

coming this holiday season

I learned yesterday that my skiing level is apparently ‘intermediate’ now not beginner which fills me with horror but I bet it’s because last years beginner instructor (hi Greg 👋) saw my name and didn’t want me barreling into him at high speed again.

Anyone else’s 12yo sacked off social media? Mine still plays VR games, talks to her friends online, gets ideas for things to do from the internet, watches youtubes if she wants to know about something but the big socials have no hold over her, even tiktok is boring now she says.

We don’t get pumping dance music blaring from cars driving up our street, we get 🎶everybody’s talking ‘bout Pop Muzik shooby dooby doo waa infiltrate it 🎶

Ready to listen to former PM John Major’s view on *all this* but hearing him refer to America as ‘she’ and ‘her’ makes me want to puke especially given trumps record on abusing women

This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen in my life

I’ve just walloped a pad Thai from the market in Chester into my gullet much as that whale swallowed the kayaker. Keeping mine in though

We are filled with an amazing opportunity to learn from heart wrenching stories like this. Do we? In the main we all do. But some won’t.

I understand the Mail has republished the Woman On A Date Gets Trapped Trying To Throw A Poo Out Of The Window story. But as we don’t do the Mail, here it is in its best version - BBC Pidgin for West Africa. You’re welcome.

Anyone want an example of women being written out of history? I ran a hackathon at a theme park. A company (not the individuals involved - they mentioned me, but I got edited out) got the glory. inc me 2014: hackaday.com/2014/10/31/r... not inc me 2016 globalnews.ca/news/3067759...

Your digital marketing person is not humanising their ai generated copy

Finished this today and had to go to the shops to get myself some biscuits

It’s a fine afternoon to stand with one’s bum warming on the radiator of a square fluorescent lit office, drifting on a reverie of summer breezes

Had a nice tapasy lunch in Whatever it’s Called yesterday. You know the one. It used to be a tapas place. Well the decors the same (they must’ve spent a lot on it) but the food is lovely. More like the place up the road now.

Never not had me bawling my eyes out

There was a Roman Empire, there was a British empire, there have been other empires that have fallen but we are lucky enough to live in an age of instant global news and we can watch in real time the fall of the American empire lol

Blowing my own trumpet a little bit but this book we wrote is now out. If you’re interested in eating to prevent cognitive decline, or you’re caring for someone with dementia it’s a good simple guide with nice pictures. amzn.eu/d/5WRhaCn

I don’t know why but i don’t take to Kate Moss. I know it’s none of my business. She’s just like, my god you were at the top of the world, why do you come across like you get chucked out of pubs for screeching?

I’m listening to Bella Freud Fashion Neuroses in the night hours which is lovely. It’s all so inconsequential and frivolous, her voice is such a balm. I’m going to start talking like her I think.

I'll reiterate that I don't think the various trolls/bots/chuds here understand how comprehensive the Bluesky block function is here. It's so good that it actually encourages "don't engage, just block": nothing's left over after the block happens so there's no point engaging at all. Just brilliant.

Never seen anyone cringe as hard as my son (14 tomorrow) when I read him a poem I wrote when he was born. He was captive, mouth full of cottage pie, growing ever more puce. Shrinking. 😂😂😂

Thought I’d wake my birthday babies up with fresh waffles and tea. Tripped over the dog. Soggy waffles
