Gmail signs me out of my work email. Then emails security alerts to that email and my personal one when I sign back in. Lads, you literally signed me out 😤

Am on a zoom call for a webinar I'll be hosting next week... not the most agreeable time for this but there's a few timezones involved. Obviously, one of the speakers who didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn has not turned up... 😳

The Oasis doc in cinemas is a good time. Funny and rather heartwarming. With some tunes, as I believe apart from Little By Little they’re exclusively from 1994-95 😅

Neighbours across the road have had a shirt hung up in their bedroom window all morning... keep seeing it out of the corner of my eye and it's really like someone is standing there staring out 😅

Hmm, have they forgotten to turn Scott Hansen’s mic on, or is #NFL #Redzone now also home of the mime 🤔

The “Juliet amnesia” storyline in #SILO season 3 is still a stupid decision. In fact, quite a lot of the changes from the books *really* stuck out as bad decisions this season. But by the end I’m all in.

On the plus side, a lovely tortoiseshell cat literally jumped out of the dark to say hi when I was about 10 mins from home 😊

Just walked back from the cinema (nicely air conditioned) about 30 mins home (warm but with breeze) opened the door to my house and stepped into an oven 😭

So embarrassing when people think the point of reading a novel is to know the plot, so a summary is just as good. The plot isn’t important, you rube. You absolute simpleton. The point of reading a novel is to find out what the characters are eating and start thinking about what you want for dinner.

During the last eclipse, I was walking away from it and towards a hospital in Leicester, getting increasingly infuriated by all the people just standing in my way looking at the sky... today I might be one of those infuriating people! 😎

Silo season 3 deviates from the books, particularly in silo, in such a stupid way 🤷‍♂️
