I have just eaten some Greek sheep's cheese from our local everywhere-else food shop and suddenly I am 17 and sitting in a restaurant looking over the bay in Delphi. Talk about sense memory.

My friend is late so I'm spending half an hour on my own with a pint and Murderbot in a really lovely proper pub. It's bliss.

My sister is going to the Le Creuset factory to table sale tomorrow. I'm so jealous but I can't take the giant baby in there with me when I need to be fighting old ladies for bargains in a conference centre, so it'll have to be next year. We're just discussing our wishlists.

Loving today's discovery that if you want to have a little drinkie while watching women's football that's fine and has been quietly reintroduced with no drama. That's why they keep saying "men's football". Though I generally encourage saying which one you mean instead of men being the default.

I slightly take it back. You're more marinading the wine to use as the cooking liquid. I'm still drinking a glass though cause it wouldn't all fit in the bowl without spilling #SafetyFirst

OK. I have gathered documents. I have issued printing instructions to husband. I have reminded myself that I will not immediately become homeless if I make a small mistake because the solicitor will catch it. I have not yet formented revolution specifically to avoid having to remortgage ever again.

I see we're all talking about the people who think the machines they invented will kill us because they read a really tedious HP fanfic. (the solution is to invent word salad machines faster, or possibly slow it down so their particular word salad machine makes the most money. It's unclear)

Crows are so clever. There's a group of them hopping down the road, it took us a minute to realise that they're following the path of the green waste bin lorry and picking up little bits of food that we can't see.

These people can't handle the truth. "oh you make the mash Samantha, you're so good at it. How do you do it?" Also them: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE CREAM???"

The giant baby locked himself in the baby jail by accident but didn't notice so I spent half an hour cleaning the fridge at super speed. That's the most I've got done for months!

The big one told the giant baby "Right, we're doing a tik tok dance". Ever willing to be led by big sister, she choreographed it. They both danced around shouting TICK TOCK TICK TOCK BUY MY CLOCK. Well, the baby wiggled and squeaked "dikdok DIKDOK". We watch TV but not internet and it shows 😂

Just suggested to an academic that she does a close reading exercise with her new UG students as a start of term thing. With Jon Klasson's Hat Triology. I think I'm genius but I suspect the students will be unimpressed 😂 thehattrilogy.com

I just got back from a week's holiday. Reviewed the transcript of an all-directorate meeting mostly for some project news and found a slide in there with some fantastic feedback I'd received from a happy academic. So I'm preening like a happy parrot right now 😊

My husband has taken the car to the big and terrifyingly efficient jet wash place for the first time. Possibly his first time ever taking the car to be washed because he's basically live tweeting it to me via increasingly over excited texts.

Yesterday the giant baby (19 months now!) made dinosaur beds out of play dough then did dinosaur yoga. Then they apparently hand washed some socks and hung them up in order to practice fine motor skills and learn independence. I want to go to nursery.

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.

A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

The new knock off remote is working much better than the old knock off remote even though it was purchased from the same evil orange empire location. Silver linings. (we are not in the habit of purchasing such items but unfortunately you can't buy legit ones anymore and we don't need a new box)

Samantha (Samanthahalf) @samanthalf.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I can't decide which is going to be more effective. Superglue the remote control to a brick*, or duct tape the children to the sofa. *when we find the &$@!ing thing, obviously

Outlook that smugly triumphant trilling sound announcing the incoming out of office of my colleague was very much unnecessary. AI yourself some better choices.
