Halfway through my next improv course, and after four weeks of feeling like I’m getting steadily worse at improv, tonight *finally* felt like things were clicking back into place. Hooray! And thank goodness…

Spent the evening being an AI chicken, getting cheated on by my elbow-tennis partner and playing a “hairdresser-ofsted inspector” in at least 4 different film genres. Improv is ridiculously fun.

4 years of this utter ridiculousness. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

I consider this some of my finest work.

En route to my first ever improv performance! Which, given the week it has been, is probably exactly what I need. But also, AAAARGH!

*Smug post alert* This weekend's Listener AND Inquisitor both knocked off (with a LOT of help from @gjmale.bsky.social)! Both quite tricky, but super fun, and the Inquisitor, in particular, extremely satisfying to follow to right to the end.

Obviously, people are entitled to do what they want with their medical informaiton and when. And obviously encouraging early testing for cancer is a good thing. But I do wonder how many cases *weren't* caught in the year or so between the filming of those episodes and when they were aired.

@stonewalluk.bsky.social I’ve been waiting for two weeks now for a promised refund after buying tickets for a cancelled event - the email about this came from an unmonitored account, and further queries are getting an automated response. What is the best way of getting this resolved, please?

Our excellent regular quiz host is away this week, and her replacement has given us a master class in how not to host a quiz… 🤷‍♀️

That links to a playable version - the original Scratch file is also here, for anyone who wants to see how it works or make their own version: scratch.mit.edu/projects/132.... ( The code is a bit clunky in places and could definitely be improved so probably isn't the *best* model, but does the job!)

Our local pub quiz is so much fun - before @gjmale.bsky.social moved to London we used to get to it semi-regularly (mostly on bank holiday weekends), and now it is one of the highlights of the week.Particularly pleasing to beat a team of 7 by just one point to snatch victory this week!

We just saw a guy on the tube with - and I swear I’m not making this up - a hat, a trench coat and a briefcase. A BRIEFCASE. If he’s an actual spy, he’s the world’s worst one…

A (semi) regular reminder that I have some downloadable puzzle hunts available on a pay-what-you-want basis at ko-fi.com/carolinehard.... Each involves a mix of word puzzles, logic puzzles, codes and all sorts of other things. If that sounds like your sort of jam, do have a look!

Double Unch day in our house - always exciting!

I’m on something like my fifth attempt to read Moby Dick. Have just got to the bit where Herman Melville wants to make sure we all know how much time he spent researching whales…

Listener conquered already! No idea what we are going to do with the rest of the weekend now…

Issues 1 and 2 of this were great - and doesn't that cover look snazzy?! Also, this was all my own idea to write this.

This was a lot of fun to be introduced to, and it has been a real joy to watch the last few parts being chipped away at with such tenacity!

I've just completed all the puzzles in the mscroggs.co.uk Advent calendar! My favourite puzzle was 17. What looked like a very long counting exercise made much simpler with a little insight. Thank you @mscroggs.co.uk !

Not sure what the crossover is between my Bluesky account and my LinkedIn profile (I suspect not huge!) but in case anyone follows me on both... my LinkedIn profile appears to have been hacked. Please ignore anything you receive from me there, or report it as a compromised account. Thank you!

On the long long LONG list of reasons I’m glad I met @gjmale.bsky.social is the face he introduced me to horse high jumping (the puissance) which has become a Christmas tradition. This year’s was EXTRAORDINARY!
