85 quid return from Thanet to London at this time of the morning. Ouch.
Admittedly that would be around 20 quid less for a fixed time return, but who can manage that on a day filled with business meetings that might overrun…

Morning all! I wrote a (short) blog post about lazy gardening, because I am a lazy gardener. It's here if you want to read it - https://t.co/26sqhT9Fl1

Things that have changed this Xmas period so far, that might stick:

1. Christmas Ear - a mis-hearing of Critmas Eve
2. kahlua is now Cthulhu - which explains why its addition to the banoffee pie has resulted in it slowlycovering the fridge contents over the past several days

That’s pre-Xmas board gaming day done for another year - time with friends and games from midday. Excellent.
And thankfully, taking the whole of next week off means a special edition pre-new year #boardgame day next Friday!

I bought myself a thing.
It has flashing bits.
There’s music behind some of them lights.
Don’t ask me what the others are doing… 🤷

Sorrow and heartfelt thoughts are NOT enough.

Four people have died crossing the channel today because keeping them out of the UK was more important than keeping them safe.

This tragedy was avoidable. Current government policy fails people seeking safety.

SAFE ROUTES NOW.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by fellow artist Shelley Skail recently, and it went live this weekend! It's a long one, so have a wee, get a tasty beverage, and enjoy.

@anxious_silence I need to know how ambient can be terrible - other than perhaps not being particularly ambient..?

@drewm See How They Run, saw at cinema and spotted it available for rent yesterday. Thoroughly entertaining.

@ArghZombies How big is your screen though… I kept mine relatively small as I could see bigger screens at that pixel resolution not being a significant improvement.
Might depend on how the 4k is encoded too, though not an expert on that. I reckon many 4k releases are just badly upscaled HD.
