First tank of petrol in the new car - cost Β£50! To be expected I guess for an SUV but on the plus side the miles to empty is saying 550 so this is where the benefits of an hybrid are

With creeping inevitability my mini flu is making its way to my chest to give me my usual post cold infection cough. I have a job interview on Tuesday where I have give a presentation. I really don't need a death rattle. Can I be coherent while dosed up on Benylin? Guess I'll find out.

Arrested Development is leaving Netflix so thought I'd give it a watch. Why didn't anyone tell me it was this good? Another show that's somehow passed me by.

I don't know how it does it but each episode of #Shrinking is better than the one before

Oh the absolute joy of being in a meeting & hearing someone take credit for my work with zero irony and not being able to say anything 😑

There's a one hour special on Nigel Farage and Reform UK, and whether they are ready to lead, on BBC2

Presumably, there will be a similar one hour special on Zack Polanski, and whether The Greens are ready to lead, as well?

Despite the lurgy I'm at the gym for a spin class. First class in about 3 weeks. I'm going to regret this.

Beyond glad I had my flu jab so the first bout of flu I've had in 30 years is very mild. It's still horrible and I wouldn't recommend it. Could have been significantly worse tho.

I've managed to watch 2 films on Amazon Prime this evening, mostly uninterrupted and I've stayed awake. Playdate = ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and The Wrecking Crew = ⭐⭐

Where we lay our Hyundai i10 is home. New episode of Three Bean Salad and the "LUKEWARM" warning light is flashing like there's no tomorrow. Art from Henry Paker (of London!!! And no doubt any day now to be declared "By Royal Appointment"). podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Applied for a job & got a LinkedIn friend request from a recruiter at the firm. That's not normal is it? Accepted in case it helps with my application. Still, it is odd.

A series of events means I'm not collecting my new car until 2pm. I'm a morning person. 2pm is practically bedtime for me. I have errands to do & am chomping at the bit to go out and get things done. Today is going to draaaaag.

Those men using Grok to take clothes off of pictures of children are just Epstein but poor.

Today, on telly’s 100th birthday, my state address is that the BBC is a miracle and the British people need to defend it. Buy a TV licence, advocate for public ownership and remember, always remember, that the BBC is much, much more than just a couple of BBC News correspondents you don’t like.

New car registration number has been confirmed & insurance done. No reason why I shouldn't be picking it up on Wednesday. 48 hours left of my no car awfullness. I have no idea how people without cars manage life. I've barely managed a week!

Being off work, bored and carless on the day before January payday is awful. Got the train to Lakeside but I can't buy anything. Might as well go home and be bored at home.

98% of perpetrators of sexual offences are men. *Not trans people Not In Our Name NION

Sexual violence is overwhelmingly committed by men. Trans people are not the danger. Using women’s pain as an excuse to harm trans people is dishonest and cruel.
