Happy birthday V. I hope a gilet wearing Italian hunk catches your eye.

I'm good, muddling along. It was a lot less entertaining here in your absence.

We need to remind ourselves how fantastic we really are. I can only dream of global infamy. The nearest I get to being recognised is an absence of criticism. Make sure your next bonus reflects your international superstar status.

Shit, I'm old. My lifetime is now being taught as history. I wonder if they cover rotary telephones, cheque books and VHS.

It's interesting that, if you trace it back, everyone in Britain has an ancestor that migrated here, from the last Ice Age onwards - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic...

I bought a student clarinet. Very rusty, but so rewarding to pick up and just play.

For the first time in 30 years, I played a clarinet today and it felt really good. So many times, we forget as adults to do the things we enjoy. Treat yourself to some pleasure in your life.

Secondly, the theme of loss is something we all have to come to terms with. I won't spoil the plot, save to say, I actually found it sensitively done. The emotional response is very much a superb reflection of the quality of your writing.

I'll still be reading your material despite two moments in EWSY that hit me hard. Firstly, having witnessed the aftermath of a rail fatality, I understood exactly how that train felt. But your writing is authentic and my empathy wasn't triggering.

Don't worry, we'll all still be here talking nonsense when you're ready to come back to us. DMs are always open if you need to vent.

If it's any consolation, I once broke a piece of tooth off eating lettuce! I'm sure my dentist still thinks I was eating something more solid.

And no, I won't be buying a pair. I'm finding I'm less and less inclined to even use a smartphone with all the incoming AI.

There are accessibility features for visually impaired folk who find them can't use phone screens as well. Its just that, like a lot of other tech, it also makes it easier to use for nefarious uses.

civser.bsky.social @civser.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
I'm not going to defend their perverted uses. Essentially, it's moving a phone screen and camera to eye level so in theory everything you can do with your phone can be done hands free. You can also augment reality so pop up signs with things like walking directions.

As long as they're vegetarian, I'm fully inclusive. I'll devour any chocolate.

Deal, though for me to keep the tin for a week is highly optimistic. A couple of days max for me.

I'm so glad I switched gov alerts off. I don't need to be reminded about common sense.

"See it" presents a metaphysical dilemma as you'll actually see an absence of the sun. Can you see something that isn't there? Ooh, my minds blown.

It also reminds me how to use a physical pen. I have piles of notebooks, but always end up doing stuff electronically.

It's only a couple of hours on the train and we don't pay £25/pint, well not yet. Just wait for the prices to go up around No10 North. But who'd have thought a staycation to cool off could be a reality.

Can I wear my bikini? Oh wait, up North were only at 19°. I better stick the heating on.

Can we invent a new rule. If a team has no shots on target in 90 mins, they automatically lose. It's ridiculous.

It might be the surface you're using it on. Try a different surface and see of that stops it. And by the way, I don't think rodents enjoy having batteries inserted.

People don't see when the strong and resilient need support. I'm in a similar predicament and am the one helping others, rarely the other way around.

Really enjoyed my breakfast this morning - cheese on toast with lashings of Lancashire sauce. Highly recommended. No, that isn't a euphemism. www.lancashiresauce.co.uk

Should have added, the packet will then say how long to cook it for (usually around 15 mins). Cook it in the stock.

Dissolve stock cube in hot water, add quinoa, leave for 5 mins. Simples. I tend to use Oxo vegetable or vegan chicken ones, but other stock cubes are available.

The trick is to make it with a good stock cube. The quinoa absorbs the flavour.
