Omfg the smell of Dairy Milk in the grounds of Cadbury World! I've died and gone to heaven.

Half term treat for my son is a mini break to sunny Birmingham. Wildlife park was small, Cannon Hill Park is lovely with a great arts centre and cafe. Just rocked up at our £36 b&b and it's basic but essentially perfect. My son wants to move here! What we have seen is nice tho.

Wow nextdoor.com super not on board with the idea of capitalist violence.

Scared to actually click this banger of a notification from Bing to my phone today

This is a fun quiz

I assume they're only liking for my incredible political takes. I really should just delete.

Jeez I haven't driven around Cardiff City centre at rush hour in a minute, and what a collasal waste of time. 50 minutes Leckwith to the Bay to Cathays. I'd usually take the bike at this time of day but a friend has to go to the hospital. That'll be more waiting then.

A bit obsessed with Liturgy since discovering them last week. They were incredible in Hackney last night. I'm reading all the manifestos and album reviews and I've subbed to the YouTube. There are worse obsessions.

Alphebetise, laugh, live

off to that there London - not been in ages. Pit stop at Popeyes first to refill before the dreaded coach. I completely forgot to pick up a book too before I left.

PRIGOZHIN DEAD, FUCK

Why troll people on X when you can do it to your neighbours on nextdoor.com?

Liturgy were the absolute standout during a weekend of intense, ear shredding riffage at ArcTanGent. Their show is such an experience that I am going to suffer the national express to go to that there London and catch them again while they're still here in the UK. You should too!

Is anyone going to ArcTangent festival this weekend?

The Turtles Movie: actually pretty good, with a very parent pleasing soundtrack and some stunning animation. Looking forward to more in this series.

Gone to the dentist for mental escape (filling)

The problem with discovering a band by watching them play live is that my car stereo will never, ever be as loud as the festival was. Kublai Khan TX, for those interested.

Enjoying the new phone life, but why on earth do Samsung only let you input 4 fingers for the fingerprint reader? I have 10! It's worse because with the Flip closed I unlock with my left hand but open I hold it in my right, so I need to input digits from both hands. SORT IT AAAHHT SAMSUNG

Made Grimace shakes with my son today and was pleased with how much fruit was in there. Just been back to look at the recipe again and it has as much sugar as a can and a half of coke! So it will remain a treat. https://www.tastingtable.com/1329880/diy-deluxe-grimace-shake-recipe/

Good - started Andor last night and it's compelling enough to stick with, looking fwd to more tonight. Bad - DPD have failed to deliver my new phone DESPITE ME BEING HOME THE WHOLE TIME. Redelivery today impossible. Hassling cust serv has got me deliv tomoro but not what I paid for really.

Wading into the Cardiff fried chicken arena for a moment, Popeyes really does have KFC and all the others smoked. I've had the burger, the chicken, and now the tenders, and it's all spot on. The mango habenero dip is something else, the fries are great. 11/10 - review ends
