I found £50 in old paper bank notes yesterday. It was some emergency cash I’d had - a birthday or Christmas present from my mum & dad. I must have had this for nearly 15 years, sitting with a little note written by my mum. From when my dad was still alive. Perhaps he held the notes?

Was lucky to see Super Furry Animals at Bristol Sounds last week during that heatwave. Such a joy. What a special band. Diolch @gruffrhys.bsky.social !

A small win: I remembered to bring a cup of tea for the train instead of buying one I don’t even enjoy

One of the greatest joys I have had recently is making a large, paper maché frog. The frog has gone to live at my daughter's school, where it is going to collect the children's wishes for new books for the library.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering in school do it, make it work. It’s such a great experience ❤️ I made each of my readers a pack of special stickers just for them to celebrate their progress

Found these drawings by Ripley (age 5 and a half) - she seems to have some of David Lynch’s spirit running through her 😅

I’m loving Hyndburn and whatever the backstory is that means they have to say that they’re an excellent council in their logo

Saw Goblin Band at the Bristol Folk House last night, what an incredible delight they were. If you get the chance to see them, do. They also reminded us all to write to our MPs. Each of us have a voice we need to use.

Stunned by this typographic slop in a Linked In graphic on their paid ads page. KERNING!
Screen shot of an illustration of three buttons with a finger pointing at the top one. The buttons are labelled "Awareness" "Consideration" and "Conversion". The typography on each button has bizarre kerning applied to multiple letters in the words, creating strange gaps and bunching up of the words.

I'm sick of seeing this deceptive pattern after booking something, where there is "cash back" offered using a £ symbol yet there is a monthly cost associated with it that is shown without a £ symbol hidden in a block of text that clearly wants to hide it.
Screen shot showing a cash back offer presented after booking tickets at an Odeon cinema on their website. Copy states "£20.50 cash back! Click here for £20.50 cash back to be credited onto your card by Complete Savings when you're part of its cashback programme, following your next ODEON Cinemas booking!" A button is presented with the instruction "Access cashback". Underneath this there is further copy that says "By clicking above, you can join this third party partner programme for 18 pounds per month. This cashback is not calculated based on your purchase with ODEON Cinemas". There is no £ symbol used in this.

David Lynch’s death has hit really hard. He has been such a big part of the trajectory of my life. I doubt I’d have met or married my husband without his work to bring us together. Photo by Dan Clearly, taken outside the Big Boy diner in Burbank where he drank coffee & wrote ideas on napkins.

It’s far from perfect and has a lot of errors, but I finished knitting a jumper! I made up the chart for the penguin and made some questionable yarn choices and mistakes resulting in a jowelly penguin but Ripley is happy! It’s supposed to be her favourite toy 🐧
