Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 6hChildren scare me too, but these two were fairly small and the girl on the pink bicycle said "Excuse me". I think you'd have told them you don't carry cash, jokingly asked if they have a card machine, then there would've been an awkward silence while you waited for them to leave. 100
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 7hCash. I reluctantly gave them the pound coin I save for unlocking a trolley at Sainsbury's 100
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 8hThey had a big bag of individually wrapped sweets, and asked me if I'd like to buy some. "How come you're selling sweets?" I asked. [Shrug] That was good enough for me. I bought a quid's worth of chocolate wafers. 110
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 8hIn a social encounter that a paedophile would've found confusing, two children approached me and asked me if I'd like some sweets. 120

Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 03/10/2026In a moment of epiphany on a par with the revelation of Christ's divinity, I've just realised that my taco holders can double as hot dog holders 030
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 03/10/2026[Turns to face camera] Apologies to our viewers for the language there. As you can see, emotions are running high here at the moment. Back to you in the studio 020
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You don't need padding. Avoid over-engineered versions or anything that's designed for POV vlogging. For reclining on your sofa you want the cheap, ugly one. I know it's not your aesthetic, but it's the best design for the purpose. 100

Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Sainsbury's, Tesco, Ocado - it's fairly widely available, but it's a very small bottle so easy to miss 011
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That's how I got into it! Not the cafés, but my Dutch relatives. Pea soup with smoked sausage and lashings of Maggi 010

Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm having a post-birding pint in Hertford Heath, a village dominated by Haileybury School — an elite public school for "confident, motivated children who thrive in a busy, ambitious setting". Sounds like a lot of kids round here need a good wedgying. 010

Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 22/09/2026And they're healthy! Well, not the ready-made ones I buy that have a scary EXCESO SODIO warning label on them - but you get my point 010
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 22/09/2026My new favourite comfort food is bean and cheese burritos. Refried beans, grated cheese and hot sauce - it's like the devil's baby food (if the devil were a cool mexican dude) Some chopped onions and bacon, bit of coriander, dash of lime juice. Aw yeah 🔱 200
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Today at work I tried a new approach, whereby I abandoned any attempt to couch my thoughts in tactful language, in an effort to discourage certain people from ever emailing me again 010

Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 21/09/2026A woman at the self-checkouts asked me if I'd scan my nectar card on her shop so she could get the discounts and I'd get the points. I did, then she said "Thank you. Most people think I'm trying to scam them". And I had wondered that myself, but instead I said "People are so paranoid these days". 330
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Just like I can't cycle past the bakery without buying a sausage roll, I can't go to Sainsbury's without buying these 010
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I honestly think that if I achieved nothing else in life other than having a breakfast set menu named after me at a local institution greasy spoon, I'd be happy with that 010
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Rewarding myself for going to the tip by having my usual at the caff: 2 eggs Garlic sausage Halloumi Chips Beans I ordered it for years before they added a "create your own" section to their menu. My ultimate ambition is for them to add this to their set breakfast menu, and name it 'The Ripley'. 120
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I'm still watching the seal. The tide is coming in, and every few minutes he has to galumph a couple of yards up the beach. I'm quite a distance away, but I can tell from here he's not in the mood for galumphing 000
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It's been a fine day pon de marshes. Saw a family of yellow wagtails having a wash, a red kite being harassed by a crow, and a tree full of starlings making their little electrical noises at each other 110

Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Oh it's called Tough Mudder because of the mud. Christ. Only took me about 10 years to figure that out 010
Danyool @danyool.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It did not occur to me that unwinding the sisal rope from a worn out cat scratching post would induce a feline Tough Mudder event 110
