Friendly tip for #brightonSEO attendees in San Diego. Few things on this earth cut through a hangover like a Mc’Lovin with Avocado on Serrano. Get yours at Spill the Beans, Seaport village.

Just watched an amazing production of Frankenstein at #GreenwichTheatre Produced by #BYMT it’s a powerful and moving adaption featuring incredibly powerful performances. Youth theatre is worthy of support. This one gives so much back. #LondonTheatre

Absolutely loving the establishment candidate selected by the illuminati to run against Farage. Who would have thought the knights Templar were concerned about the cost of a croissant or requiring of a price cap on a 99p flake.

Starmer resigns - has spoken to the king. His speech attempts to recognise his role in transforming the Labour Party, and delivering a Labour government. An earnest attempt to depart with dignity.

Saw this out the corner of my eye and just for a moment, thought it said SEO salt. In other news, learnt a little bit about typeface anatomy as a result.
An empty tub of salt with sea salt flakes in a font that reduces the size of the letter a’s tail considerably. When combined with the circular nature of the bowl, the result is a letter very similar to what one might expect of the letter O.
