Yesterday I wore my Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling t-shirt which is probably appropriate for a day spent being body-slammed by my 1yo daughter, but otherwise it's 90% @themountaingoats.bsky.social gig tees

Boop bap bah-da!

It's like they went to the jingle people for a train announcement but only the guy who wrote slightly sexy comedy detective show incidental music was available and so history was made

Home from our epic travels and immediately downloading a sound clip of the SNCF jingle because apparently it sends my child to sleep when played very loudly and repeatedly over a train station PA

Travel guide to Lille describing it as "the Manchester of France"

Oooh Dan this is very cool, what are you building it in?

Took a load of dogface's belongings to donate to the greyhound trust. Leaving without a new pointy friend (because they probably wouldn't enjoy the toddler) broke my heart a bit. Even though I knew they wouldn't be her, the dogface-shaped hole just isn't getting any smaller
