I've been allocated a Copilot licence and now Outlook is carrying on like I've got Clippy allocated. Not a huge fan.

The Wedding Present were great last night. Often when I go to a gig I'll feel like one of the oldest people there but last night's crowd was terribly middle aged. The merch stand was doing a roaring trade in tea towels.

It's amazing what people will say with their phone on speaker in public. There's a lass on the bus who has just told her dad that her "down belows are quite unpleasant".

Me & the other half have tickets for the Wedding Present tonight. She's still on the sick so it's looking likely that I'll be going on my own. I can't remember the last time I went to a gig on my tod.

He eventually managed to score himself tickets. Just as well, or he might have sulked taken to his bedroom to play loud angry music. I don't know how we would have known he was sulking mind you.

What are the best alternatives to Squarespace for hosting? I'd prefer to not spend over $300 a year if I can help it! I don't need a web store, it's really just a few pages. You can see the current site here, happy to go simpler, but would prefer to not do linktree: www.lastpinepress.com

Had a letter from the NHS to tell me they're going to send me a bowel cancer screening test kit. Why they just didn't send me the test kit I don't know. I have a fibre rich diet, I don't need that long to plan my stools.

Occurred to me that I've probably only seen about half a dozen wasps all summer. I'm not a big wasp fan, but that's a bit alarming when you think about it.
