We only have left over fancy chocolate in this house. Not good. Last night I was so desperate I tried the white chocolate brown bread one. ๐Ÿคข disgusting. Worse than just eating brown bread.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistโ€”because the person felt she did didnโ€™t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

You know how some people take a normal meal and healthify it eg low fat cream / reduce carbs / add fibreโ€ฆ
I seem to do the reverse. Take Weetabix, skyr and berries and change to bacon and eggs ๐Ÿ˜‚

One of those bayeux tapestry memes. This one's a clip from ye olde TV series 'Top Saddle'. There are three blokes, each with their own horse. From left to right - James May has fallen off his horse and it says' 'Oh cock' underneath him, in embroidery. The bloke in the middle is swinging a rather large axe over his head, as his horse stand there watching. The embroidered words above him say 'Don't worry, I can fix it for you Hammond'. Lastly,  There's a tiny bloke with a tiny horse who we're to assume is Richard 'The Hamster' Hammond, who's saying 'For God's sake, Jeremy!'

Love it. Top crisp choice. My pre-bed routine involves Gaviscon, Nasal rinses, an eye mask, ear plugs and a careful construction of 6 pillows. If I eat anything after 7pm the whole night is RUINED.
