Was playing Pictionary with my 6 year old today and she drew this to represent a TV. She’s never even seen a CRT in her life, but still this is the picture in her head.

@RichieThorpe That’s what I play on the other days😁

[Jon Reidy @Jon_Reidy]

Got the best advice from my work mate @timmyshez yesterday. If you’re feeling frustrated that you haven’t achieved anything that day, go and do the washing up or something that makes you feel you did (delivered) something productive. Wise words from a wise man.

@gerireid Always having to reiterate to people that WCAG is a minimum, not a target.
