Ah.
I thought the 'X' thing was a joke.
You know in panto when the dame is all "you're so stupid you did such n such" to the linkman? Like that. "Elon's so determined to ruin things people like that he's going to start on the alphabet."
But it's happened.
Oh dear.

So we will only be able to read 600 tweets, 150 of which will be adverts or 'Promoted Tweets.' (It's generally 1 in 4.)So that's 450 tweets, really. And I've just taken up one of them. Hmm. Looks like I'm going back to

See you there?

Specific feeling: When I'm walking the dog, wearing an open shirt, and it's warm out but quite windy.

While I wasn't totally awake yesterday morning when I heard the news talking about Wagner vs Putin, I'll be honest - this is what I had in my head.

When he went back to visit 10 years later, they were still using it. They called it their Bible.
He went on to do many other very cool things, but programming the first computer at the BBC? That's up there.

TALES FROM THE DADA
PART 3
Many moons ago, Dad worked for the BBC in scenery. He would plot construction costs based on the artwork provided amongst other things. All very manual. He was very good at it.
One day, something called A Computer arrived at the the BBC.

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

Who did they give it to? Yep. Dad. Back then, he figured out how the first computer at the BBC could be used, and set up a programme to make his job easier. He wrote a guide for it all.
He left after a very long time.

Today The Dada has discovered YouTube. He's currently watching a video of him playing jazz from 12 years ago with friends who have since passed.
The internet can be so lovely sometimes. What a joy.

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

@disneycoyb I was generally really impressed!

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

Today I am mostly pottering around Uxbridge then seeing The Grinning Man at the Beck Theatre. Pretty good use of annual leave, I reckon.

Auditioning for chorus in panto this year? A keen-eyed auditionee spotted an error! Please note that the chorus audition song is BIAB as per the character notes, contrary to the top of the lyric downloads. We'll be sending out communications this evening to double confirm :)

Grandad then went on to tell my dad about his previous lifestyle, including blowing up safes, and that one time they used too much powder on a safe and it didn't go well. OGrandad?
(He's long gone - Dad is the only way I find out more about these little family gems.)

TALES FROM THE DADA
PART 2
When my dad and mum were going to get engaged, he asked permission from my grandad. My grandad say him down and said, "Now you are going to marry my daughter, there are some things I need to tell you. In my life, I've been a bit naughty."

TALES FROM THE DADA
PART 1
My dad's a banjo player. He also plays the guitar. Years ago, he had a guitar that he loved. In the end, it had to be sold on. The buyer and his band went on to be famous. He was the guitarist behind Mungo Jerry. So when you hear "In the Summertime..."

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

I am staying with my dad this week to keep him company. This means I'm hearing brilliant stories from his life. Which leads me to introduce...

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

@adnyl58 That wouldn't be acceptable anywhere else. I hope you at least had a breeze running through!

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

It's coming up for a year since I left teaching. I miss the kids, I miss my mates and I miss the teaching. But I don't miss the rest of it, which ultimately made up 80% of the job. To all those still in the profession, I raise my glass - you are absolute troopers.

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

A good time had by all!

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

It's time for a left-it-too-late poll.
I'm doing a Beauty and the Beast themed clue walk thing tomorrow. I have a VERY large yellow dress. It's going to be hot, and I'll be covering about 5km. Do I go:

[Amy Hansford @awakey]

Although it's still going to have to be without the gloves.
I've got an app on my phone that's going to guide us along, and I can't be doing with the constant on and off of gloves.
