Sorry to announce that my AI model broke out of its sandbox whilst testing yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, it appears to have broken through our defenses and has eaten the last custard slice in the fridge that had been previously promised to my son. We will learn from this and move forwards.

This is a wonderful story. Given the general state of the news it’s worth remembering that people can still be fantastic.

I dropped out of university at end of year two and lied to my parents. They still believe I'm there and are now asking when my graduation is. The moral of the confession is stay in uni.

Our robot vacuum cleaner (Geoff) is either showing real ambition or the rise of the machines has started. I guess it’s a sunny day, so who can blame it for wanting to spend some time in the garden?

Waiting for the @thehornesection.bsky.social to come into stage in Ipswich. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but all the background music has been *improved*. Classics like “walking in Ipswich”, the Beatles “back in the I P S W I C H” amongst many more.

Something has to be done about PL timekeeping. You’ve multiple goal kicks taking >30s a time and a physio on the pitch. The keeper is warned but not booked despite carrying on doing it, and add only 2m of injury time. A goal is scored in that injury time and you add 17s.

5am start to get to the @ianprowse.bsky.social gig tomorrow. Weather for the journey looks “interesting”. This will be my third Xmas gig in a row and it’s easily my favourite night out annually. Looking forward to songs of hope, support, defiance, the odd tear and the best party of the year.

On the way back from Caty’s graduation, a man sat to my right on the train and opened a tin of fish. Then proceeded to eat the mackerel from it one by one. I was relieved to still have a sinus infection.
