“You don’t have to vocalise every single thought you have”… I literally said out loud to myself earlier today 🤦‍♂️

Random memory. Was briefly at uni in Bristol, in halls sharing a mini-flat with 2 others. One night, flatmate 2 (grew weed, collected medieval axes) got so drunk he got locked out of his room, and decided the obvious thing to do was to use the kitchen chairs to break in THROUGH THE WALL. Fun times

I got very excited when I came across Alexandra Bastedo’s entry (and presumably signature) in our marriage register at work

I think in this novel:

I was always brought up to believe that the water had to go onto the teabag the instant the kettle had boiled, or the tea wouldn’t work. This was nonsense wasn’t it?

Just listening to the moment IMO that #Muse peaked: when in the middle of singing their own band name they interpolate a rockified excerpt of a Saint-Saens opera, and having done that follow it with a bass clarinet solo. Only them. #IBelongToYou

Welcome to the Garyneum, the 13 day period between the birthdays of Gary Numan and Gary Oldman.

Thanks to Usborne Books, my youngest child’s greatest talent is being able to spot a duck in any given scenario

I hate having my hair cut, because even though I go to the same place and always ask for the same thing (“shorter” apparently not being specific enough), the results vary considerably. Last time was great. This time, less so

How I arrived on Bluesky

Worth saying that on the very few times a story’s had both - Enlightenment/Witchfinders/Can You Hear Me/Haunting of Villa Diodati - they’ve all been absolute bangers

I don’t work from home to be more productive. I do it to be *as* productive, without the faff of having to get in and out of the office. NF hasn’t had a job like I (and I imagine most of the country) have in his life

COLUMBO: My wife, she loves your games. The sunken ghost ship level. It’s her favourite

MARIO: Thank-a you!

M: What’s-a your point, Detective?
