Was up near the University earlier, and the best thing I overheard in passing was "oh man, you wouldn't believe how much francophone afrobeat I've listened to lately"

Wow. Trying to set up MS Authenticator, and when I do so, it's asking me enter the code from MS Authenticator. Which isn't set up. Because I can't enter the code. Because the app isn't set up. Because I can't enter the code. Because the app isn't set up. Because I can't enter the code. Et c. Et c.

Also this evening, was in the supermarket and could hear hysterical little girl laughter. Came round the end of an aisle and saw said girl in the seat of a trolley, and her dad holding up a much too small baby onesie to her, saying "so will this one fit my little baby then?"

Was coming home tonight and the neighbour from 5 doors down joined me on the walk and asked me what my son was up to, and how are his driving lessons going. I told him that college was going really well, and he'd just passed his driving test. "You must be so proud of him" he said 1/2

I was thinking this should be a service offered by funeral directors. Obviously it's a premium offering, but you can direct in your will for a couple of blacked out limos to arrive and men in black overcoats and shades watch the burial from a distance, before departing anonymously.

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter.

Super lunch yesterday at The Swine Bistro in Headingley, pork pastrami and slaw to start, sea trout and cuttlefish with saffron for main. The boy's Gloucester Old Spot pork belly was on point too. We went a la carte, but the £20 lunch set menu is a proper bargain.
