This is Anja, Gareth's wife. I'm so sorry and heartbroken to let you all know that he sadly passed away this morning. He fought so hard until the very end, but he's at peace now. 💔

Bit disappointing in the Germany's Mask Singer tonight. First out was comedian Hugo Egon Balder. Was quite playing Couch Potato with a rendition of Ghost Busters.

That's a super sneaky reference hiding in plain sight in Breaking Bad right there when you see how things work out later in the series.

It's been a bit of of a slog but finally got through every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The question is what is next to go on the binge watch list to get through before I die.

I'm really not doing well. I have many feelings I don't know how to cope with.

When I posted on instagram about type design, someone asked, "What is it they want out of a typeface that the existing ones don’t produce?" Having been in Wales a lot recently 😍 Cymru Sans came to mind… #CulturalIdentity #Typography #BookDesign #Wales www.colophon-foundry.org/custom-proje...

This is a sample card for the Cymru Sans Light typeface, designed in 2015 for use on the VisitWales website. I can't replicate the glyphs here, but there are several digraphs/ligatures that don't exist in English, e.g. (LL, DD, CH)

Just remembered this, from an old BBC Genome post. Still one of my favourite things ever. Tony Hart teaches you how to draw a cat, and drives himself into a fit of the giggles. Every time I look at this, the sun seems to come out.

Tony Hart and a blank sheet of paper. About to create magic.

Tony drawing. The outline of an enormously round cat takes shape.

Tony adding facial expressions to his enormous pussy cat drawing.

The cat is now complete. He has a fish sticking out of the corner of his mouth, and a demolished goldfish bowl behind him. Tony's driven himself into a fit of the giggles.

I used to sit on Walsall Council with Marco. Seeing his decent into gammon lunacy has been very strange and sad. Used to portray a 'sensible' Tory image at one time but when I think back, yeah it always was then.

According to my mom, she was told by one of here friends that the pub up the road from hers has been closed to be turned into accommodation for asylum seekers. Seriously these ones still do the rounds?

The Guardian this morning on the arrest of Daniela Klette. An amazing story, and a good article www.theguardian.com/world/2024/m...

Still working my way through Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I reached that certain point in season 5 I was dreading. The episode 'The Body'. It's an emotional enough episode as it is but given circumstances not sure whether watching it is a good or a bad thing.

Or indeed Sikh. I remember a conversation with my Sikh neighbour circa 15 years ago. He was pretty strong in his views but I understand the history and background where they might come from. Like I've also known Muslims who's views of black people are pretty reprehensitive too.

I know complete overkill but having a tool that'll cover multiple tasks is what it's all about when downsizing. Plus it does a better job having an in-built safety function by not allowing for over-cutting.

It's German week at Lidl this week and the missus got a load of Currywurst in. I've hardly been eating anything more than a bit of mashed potato for dinner the last week. That's such an indulgent change even if I could only eat half but utter heaven.

Yeah party members shouldn't be a part of selecting a Prime Minister. It's constitutionally wrong and very dangerous as they are wildly unrepresentative not can usually appreciate the current challenges of government at the time.

Certainly that was a really bad intake but the big change was 2010, Cameron's weakness and chasing City Money.
