Well the cricket was closer than I thought. Fair play to everyone involved on a great game

My theory that batting second almost guarantees a win is looking shakier with every over

There are a lot of people who seem to be concerned with something that really is nothing to do with them. People should be able to live the life they’d like to, not the life someone else thinks they should

There’s always a certain bittersweet feeling after a great lunch with your gorgeous ex as to how life could have taken a different direction

Just found out that Neil Sedaka’s Love Will Keep Us Together was recorded at the same studio as Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart, which has a certain symmetry to it

Feels like another chance to role out the quote from the Dark Knight β€œYou either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain”

As the Green Party have nearly as many MPs as Reform I assume they will get a seat on the Question Time panel every week and Laura K will be making a show asking if Zack Polanski can be PM? No, thought not

This. Politics should be about hope for the future, not vote for us and we promise to hurt a group of people you never meet in your daily life (migrants, trans people, students, civil servants etc) but who media owned by billionaires has told you are to blame for anything that is wrong in your life

It’s not sooner than I expected, it’s the same day every year; it’s not like Easter which tries to sneak up on me

Sadly mine is 100gb and I’ve only done 12, so I’ll be a little while longer

Oh my goodness that sunshine is lovely. Today might be the first day this year that I had a shadow when I walked to the office

The stranger secret: how to talk to anyone – and why you should Forget fear of public speaking. A lot of people now shy away completely from speaking to anyone in public. But if we learn to do this it’s enriching, for ourselves and society

I found this www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... an interesting read. I’m really introverted and aware that when I feel down I’m even less likely to talk to people, but it makes a huge difference to how I feel when I do. Online is great, but sometimes one person and one chat helps so much

Instead of Ofsted or Ofwat we can expect Ofuck

Exploring the Fascinating Cryptids of the British Isles Uncover the mysteries of British cryptids, from Nessie to the Beast of Bodmin Moor, and explore their cultural significance and enduring allure.

There seems to be a small cryptid industry hangar1publishing.com/blogs/crypti...

Well that’s solved a mystery. I have a couple of those same plug sockets in my flat and had no idea what they were for. But I guess you would rather have somewhere you can charge your phone

Had to check dates but Orbital by Orbital (Belfast is still sublime) or KLF’s The White Room are probably the ones. Also some of Massive Attack’s Blue Lines and St Etienne’s Fox Base Alpha (Only Love can break your heart is still one of my favourite songs ever)
