Been a while since I read local newspaper (online), things have got very bad indeed. What a sentence 🙄 I presume AI but think that would do a better job? Here's the rest: https://t.co/MJWdJC61FX

That's a new one - hope no-one actually falls for it #phishing

Sending memes, links, and videos to others isn't trivial. It signals that you're thinking of them and want them to share your joy.

It's known as pebbling, based on penguins gifting pebbles to potential partners.

Pebbling is an act of care. Every pebble is a bid for connection.

Great atmosphere near the finish!

I live on the site of the original Blaydon Races - there's a secret statue #blaydonraces

There are currently 7 books in the U.K. top 20 about cooking with air fryers. I'll tell you this for nothing, Joyce is going to get an air fryer in the next Thursday Murder Club book.

Apparently it's national bubble wrap day - presumably founded by a packaging company? Coincidentally just had a massive delivery in time for big deadline week at work

Starting book 4 of 2024 as a reward for completing my tax return - title a coincidence!

Word of the day, courtesy of my latest read: equanimity. A calm mental state, especially after a shock, disappointment or in the face of a difficult situation.

Only thing blue here today is the sky. Beautiful start to Monday

Pls share. Many are worried after reports that Etsy, eBay, Vinted etc will start automatically passing sales info to HM Revenue. To set your mind at rest, best to read our full guide at https://t.co/vEFPi00ZDP, but in brief

1. There is no new tax
2. Unless you're 'trading' selling your old stuff isn't taxed
3. Only sales over c£1,700 or more than 30 items a year are reported

These set off the self scan alert. Amazed at how quickly I thought to say "but they haven't been made into wine yet". The M+S man congratulated me #dadjokes

The best bit about winter is the Scottish releasing the names of their gritters.

My Grandma watches Sky News a lot… Mainly because we have a clock on screen and also because I’m on it. Sometimes she texts with very precise thoughts after she’s seen me. Like when I was talking about the weather earlier

[Amy Wardlaw @amywardlaw]

@nickbason The timing would align.. Maybe I shouldn't have jumped for the Geordie definition!

[Amy Wardlaw @amywardlaw]

Been invited to a meeting entitled 'rumble', without an agenda. Presumably they don't want my views on PJ and Duncan
