Going away this week and the forecast suggests I need to take 3 different coats with me.

Yup. This hasn't been touched in months until today.

This looks like a stained glass window...

Thanks everyone who recommended Coyote vs ACME. Finally made it.

Some self assembly pottery from Royal Doulton. The crap packaging probably explains the price.

James @jawida.net · 01/09/2026

Doesn't exist, sorry.

He's been! @jonnelledge.bsky.social Wonder if any of those inventions clean carpets...

The V&A Wedgwood Collection is worth your time if you like that sort of thing.

Just got this email and well it reminded me...

Thanks for the recommendation @katebevan.com. We are sharing these 1 between 3 and no one's gone blind yet. Suspect my Mum still has our set from 1999.

It's cute that he paints his nails.

Expensive month. Our bill for all of 2024 was around £1k.

Doesn't look like it - the C are the reading I've given and I assume the As are taken from the drive by reads not remotely.

But this just isn't true? Maybe she only commutes during school travel hours but my experience is almost exclusively older people: 30 - 60, typically on their own, watching TikToks or Reels.

So it's mostly young people? "I would say it is," says Dr Rachael Kent, a senior lecturer in digital economy and society at King's College, London. She adds that it's not wholly borne out of a lack of consideration for others - loudcasting can be a tool for connection.

"Travelling to and from school on public transport with friends, they're experiencing their devices together."

If we want a voting system that's fairer we may need journalists and politicians to be more patient.

Actually thinking it. Five pubs is probably too many with changing habits. Let's convert / demolish and rebuild one of them into a children's home. Could use the 16 parking spaces to create an outdoor space for them and other young people in the area. 😉

Might turn it into a bit where I start paying for the planning consent to get Progress Pride flags up on public buildings.

We were at the allotment lifting potatoes and I don't think I've seen a group of happier people. Not sure it will make much difference. Hope you get some rain soon!

Can recommend a Bosch water butt pump and leaky hose irrigation too

So @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com wasnt lying about Budapest. I've had a really great time and I don't think it was just the weather. This also makes me fear for my planned trip to Oslo in November. 😬

They got the flags back up

I'm sorry but: "His Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State Requests and requires in the Name of His Majesty all those whom it may concern... " goes so much harder

I've known since the morning after the Brexit referendum that Mark Carney is my leader.

James @jawida.net · 24/06/2026

Oh dear. It is currently 26C here in Liverpool and I'm borderline uncomfortable.

Oh thank god: my hotel room has air conditioning.

Hm, might need to go shopping. I am not built for this.

Weather forecast for Budapest on Thursday to Saturday. It shows temperatures of 4 million degrees (31 to 34 Celsius) and very high UV.

Okay, Americans so I should just not care, but why tf are grown ups calling these things 'porta-potties'. They're portable toilets* or WCs. *yes they are, that battle was lost.

James @jawida.net · 26/05/2026

I used to watch from here. They block it off these days.

Careful Ed, you're stereotyping people with GC views here. If they're not from the transphobia region it's just a Sparkling Protected Belief.

James @jawida.net · 17/05/2026

Crazy considering it's barely registered on Spotify.

James @jawida.net · 24/04/2026

Watching Race Across the World and I don't know where Jo and Kush find their endless positivity. I don't think I've heard them complain once and they're currently shovelling goose sh*t.

James @jawida.net · 11/04/2026

I guess the races have finished then.

I know this is probably just so they can accommodate a massive car park - but I wonder if any UK teams have a stadium to city/town distance like this?

James @jawida.net · 01/04/2026

I'm not sure this will convince the flat earthers.

Wish my parents got a heat pump (and solar) when they had the chance. 🤦🏻‍♂️

So much paint. This is my current favourite.

Can't wait for Aldi to discontinue their Vegan/Vegetarian product lines because of low demand.

Meat as far as the eye can see and a hidden packet of vegan burgers hidden away like it's Where's Wally

Great timing for America week Aldi

Kate has helpfully used a hashtag. If you press and hold it you can mute it or set up multiple word proactively in settings.

James @jawida.net · 02/01/2026

I had a similar reaction to you, and:

Sorry but it's my protected belief worthy of respect in a democratic society. 💅🏻

Starting Christmas Day as intended. Browsing the @nationaltrust.org.uk online shop for discounted wool blankets because Doug forgot to add one to his Christmas list.
