Plays fiddle a bit, manages quantum-y type stuff, is annoyed by lack of logic, poor grammar and so much more… Knitting is therapy. Unsolicited DMs = immediate block.

This is fascinating. In the UK, I think it’s broadly equivalent, except the PB. 1kg high quality PB at Waitrose (most expensive store) is $7.50 equivalent, but you guys grow the peanuts!!
1 kg of Whole Earth peanut butter advertised at Waitrose for £5.50 on sale, £7.90 usually.

I take it Prince Harry will be kipping down in a Travelodge off the Old Kent Road then?
A BBC breaking news alert that Prince Harry’s spokesperson says he will be staying at Buckingham Palace followed by another news alert from Buckingham palace saying he isn’t.

I was standing there admiring that monument on Saturday. I was surprised by the amount of historic graffiti carved into it.

Press release announcing Epstein’s death, dated 24 hours before he died. It’s in the files, folks. You can search it yourself. EFTA00013180.

USA: you do realise that this, and the garbage your president is so proud of putting out yesterday makes you an international pariah? That you’re no longer considered a democratic, civilised society by the rest of the world?

Granted it’s the funniest news story this month (it’s been a thin year) but still our news is dominated by right-wing careerist egos. Can we have some focus on people trying to live, please?

Reading the papers, you’d think Epstein’s only friends & contacts were British. Maxwell, Windsor. Epstein was a US citizen, the vast majority of his contacts were American. Where is the transparency in that corrupt shithole of a country?

Felixstowe on Saturday. I thought I’d vary from my usual Thames Estuary amble.
A stretch or open tarmac with the sea beyond. Waves are gently breaking, the sky is a mild blue with some cloud on the horizon.

Thank God for that! (That it’s not actually Thursday!) I had a very real panic that I had only dreamt yesterday’s stressful meeting & I was lolling about wfh assuming it was done when I should be on the M25! Misplacing your marbles knocked mine out. Like a Newton’s cradle.

Why isn’t Time Team still on? It was perfect Sunday morning tv. They only ever found anonymous bits of old pots, no surprises, no shocks unless you count dodgy knitwear. I miss it.

The man who told you Brexit was going to fix all your problems now says deporting asylum seekers will fix all your problems. Remind me of the definition of stupid?

I saw this post and idly wondered if @barleyscotch.bsky.social was still tricking audiences into Nazi salutes at Hayseed Dixie gigs to show how easily people fall for it, and scrolled down 4 more posts and found one from John! I didn’t even know he was in Bluesky. Coincidences are fun.

I found Dagenham museum a startling good example of a local museum. Stuff I recognised from my gran’s kitchen alongside the history of occupation from pre-Romans onwards. And the astounding Dagenham idol.
