Offer accepted. 🍾

Received an offer on my renovation, to finally in a position to start negotiations on a little house in the country.

Surprise birthday gift was quite something.

Still plodding along.

Spring.

Happy Direct Debit Day to all who celebrate. ❤️

The one photo where I'm smiling and actually approve of how I look. Not that you can tell from the yellow squiggle.

Trialled Christmas dinner ahead of our plan to host our first next year. Went well with just the two of us. Eight guests will be the real challenge.

Birthday dindins.

Arranged an inter-family social for tomorrow. The first time my old man will have met the other half's parents. Absolutely bricking it. I'm hoping a cocktail bar, Persian food and a Christmas market will all help to take the edge off. Feel physically sick.

I put my age correctly but is says it as 48.

If you see this, drop a pic from the last place your passport got stamped.

Dragged her all the way from her tropical idyll to grey and gloomy middle England. 😬

Or, if you're over on the Cayman Islands: some Big Black Dick.

Decided to get myself a little Christmas present so that I can finally use Android Auto in the car. Amazing that it wasn't supported as standard until 2021.

A long-running and growing challenge to the ever-escalating pension age.

Remember the first time a teacher gave you an assignment of 1,000 words and you thought it a Herculean task unachievable by any mortal?

Thought I'd check the tyre compressor in case the worst were to happen during a dark winter drive. Good job I did as it was tripping a fuse.

Porsche wanted to charge £220 for a replacement. As it's just a generic unit used across the VW group, I grabbed one from a local scrappy for £12. #winning

People's qualms around the name aside, it looks really nice from the outside and fits with the current apparent demand for SUV-type vehicles.

Me any time I even think about using the A1.

Transformed into rather a dreadful individual.

I tried to cheat this decision-making process by buying a massive box of eggs for the week and I can tell you that I never want to see an egg ever again.

Leagues better than my Brummie one. Yorks and Lancs are top tier.

Was stuck in traffic alongside one of these today. First one I've spotted in the flesh. Have a real road presence.

I've come out of a meeting about a monthly meeting, which is is now being replaced with three different types of meeting, one of which will be weekly. But remember: the NHS doesn't want to tie us all up with meetings.

Sick of this. Time to strike. Who's with me? ✊

Incorrect. They care about *one* thing: finding the muddiest puddle possible.

I'm finding this after a few days in a 992. Between the numb electric steering and the car's increased size, it feels somehow less engaging and dynamic versus its predecessor. Add to that some odd interior design choices and it all comes across as a step backwards.

'Mortality from the vaccine was 100%.'

It's certainly magic how it ends up in my underwear even after a long wash cycle. And on jumpers I've not even worn while you've been around.

Any chance you can arrange it in a nice, neat pile so that it's easier to keep on top of? 🙏

Women's hair gets absolutely EVERYWHERE.
