Serendipity. Listing to Comfort Blanket pod with @gralefrit.bsky.social and @hattiewilliams.bsky.social discussing Wallace & Gromit (and Plasticine) as I walk past the mothership of the medium.

Hilarious. More likely to be assailed by an inexperienced cyclist on the Taff Trail than one of the ‘youths’ on their chipped e-bikes.

Just add letters to any placename. Cardiff, Newport, Swansea? No we want more letters. Only one that pisses me off is Abergavenny. Already sounds Welsh! But no, for that we take letters away!

It’s that time again for my favourite genre of summer TikTok videos: Americans, Australians, East Asians and Africans who now live in England going “I am sorry I laughed at you and thought you were making it up when you said how hot it is here”

It’s not like he has form for complaining on the subject though so that’s nice

There’s this muppet on TikTok who transcribes and then scats incredibly difficult jazz solos so well and I could not possibly love a thing more

Come on now. It’s not like there’s a long history of bullying at the WRU and they’d specifically want to avoid that subject at all costs…

Nobody does. They’re all just guessing and pointing backwards saying “see I told you so” And yes, I studied it….

Loving your work as always. However brutalist corridors seem to be featuring more heavily in my dreams. And I already had ‘trapped in conference centre’ in that particular armory!

I think people look at me strangely when I'm taking photographs of stairwells. If you get the angles just so, there's something almost Piranesi or Escher about them. Taken yesterday at the Franz Gertsch Museum in Burgdorf. #photography

This is literally every weekend as well. October - one train in 4 hours to Bath on a Sunday. Same excuse. But how could they possibly foresee this??
