Here's the best demonstration I have of the touchscreen polling using Swype (remember that?) style typing. This is a slow one cos it just doesn't work when I Swype normally. Oh also! The phone is now so thick that the new screen PROTRUDES PAST THE CASE 🔥

Smashed my phone screen in a very unlucky drop. Phone on last legs anyway so got the cheapest screen I could until I get a replacement refurb phone posted. Shout out to INCELL UK for the biggest piece of shit screen I have ever, ever used lmao, but it was £20 and arrived in 18hr so all good.

After much experimentation, the perfect fried rice has been mastered. Perfect egg char flavour from letting it burn just a little. Shallots. Fermented garlic. Whallop of msg. Fish sauce. Black rice vinegar. Peas and scallions. Day old jasmine rice. It is perfect and my whole apartment smells amazing

My laptop has a 14 inch screen. For some fucking reason it's 4k resolution. Behold, the usability of Windows PE at 100% scale! 🔬

Here's a video of right after the photos above. I had to only take short videos because my black phone overheated so quickly when exposed to it. Keep in mind that the distance I'm standing at is significantly further than the closest houses, many of which were boarded up temporarily to prevent fire

Pretty big fire overall! This was after its maximum physical size but around the time it is was the hottest. Standing well away from it, you could feel the heat so intensely on your skin from the infrared alone. I do not like bonfire season for all it brings. But I can't avoid watching a big fire.

yes, it is necessary because not only the direct heat is mad, but there are countless chunky embers landing everywhere

Sunny trip to drop off some equipment to my brother and bring my carpet extractor home. Perfect day for the bicycle lads. Plus, was able to pop into Tesco on the way home, peace of mind by just locking the chain from my bike's frame lock through the carpet extractor's handle 🧠

Overall it's good cos it means you dry off quickly, but cycling for ten miles in the pouring rain results in only the front of my trousers being soaked through which looks ridiculous in person. The chemist asked if I'd been splashed by a driver tearing through a puddle lmao

Remember to bleed your bicycle's rim brakes every once in a while! Every 12,000 miles seems to work for me.

Gudetama t-shirt from 2019 finally put to rest BUT the fabric itself still has life left so I've dedicated it to my one true digital love, the long-mourned and much-adored Hairy Heart emoji from Android 4.4 💛

Easiest way to move a heavy portable air conditioner 5 miles across the city in the pouring rain and high wind? Don't discount the humble bicycle! Easier to keep upright, took less time than driving through the city core and easier to bring inside. #carryShitOlympics (is that still the hashtag?)

Bicycle survived 11 nights parked at the airport though! Granted, it was locked up to high heaven but check out how well my bike works for this: carry on suitcase on the front, heavy as fuck laptop bag on the back. Passenger sits in between them and pedals. Super nice. Free parking obvs. A+.

Not showing you all his house but I will say, no matter the weather, it's always a fulfilling day when you get to use the big axe to rip up an old rotted decking. The mountain of previous owner rubbish is also gone 🔥

Ellen Murray @ellenfromnowon.co.uk · 02/05/2026
Found a rare 2008 vintage fragrance today while excavating my brother's decking. The previous owners had packed the soil with rubbish and bin bags for some reason but this was the cream of the crop 🔥 I hope TC got some new deoder

I last replaced my ebike's rear brake pads 8,900 miles ago, and today's the day I do it again. Look at how worn they were! Old on left, obviously. £3/pad is a pretty good service cost for not far off quintuple digit mileage. I was sceptical of hydraulic rim brakes. Nah, they're awesome.
