Concerned coworker waited for me to leave the cubicle to tell me a weak stream could be a sign of health issues. Was actually emptying out a couple of old, mouldy Capri Suns in the toilet.

it turns out that putney bridge waterstones unexpectedly did us a solid. at half 5 we got an enormous delivery of seed corn - in the midst of unpacking the bags, twenty or thirty crows sauntered through the front door and began eyeing things up. but when they saw the scarecrows they hopped it pronto

Reading is a rich experience which is so completely part of my life. It connects us with knowledge, with feelings, with people, with the past, and with our own thoughts. Lovely article by @notrollergirl.bsky.social. I too am a big George Eliot fan! www.telegraph.co.uk/books/author...

I keep getting marketing emails offering me clothes ‘For total ski glamour’ or ‘your next red carpet event!!!’ and I’m so entranced by the persona they have invented for me that I don’t have the heart to delete them.

Just finished Pity Party by @notrollergirl.bsky.social as recommended by @laurapricewrites.bsky.social in her Substack. The perfect final read of the year: I laughed out so loud I woke my Boo up twice and the reflections on grief resonated deeply. Highly recommend it 📚

It’s the rule of all religious Western singing - if you can avoid a rhyme, make the scansion land awkwardly or add an extra ‘ha-ha-ha-ha’ in the middle of a word, it must be done.

In fact suspect major innovations are in the dessert field. Recent purchase of Malterser ice cream profiteroles attests to this.

Have there been any truly great recent innovations in the field of beige foods and picky bits? I love bao buns, I do not love bao buns that I have to microwave myself. I tried ‘sesame duck toast’ and to that I say ABSOLUTELY NOT. Could they do more with halloumi?

English, grew up in Malaysia. I played ping pong with a Chinese kid called Dennis. He didn't speak English and my Hokkien was bad. It dawned on me about 15 years later he was probably saying 'tennis'. Fucking mortified.
