Hello! How nice of you! I'm well, just not spending as much time on social media these days. How have you been? 🚑

Why is no-one bothered by the fact that they made him old? He was 32 when he died, and that dude looks at least 40. This wouldn't bother me nearly as much if female actors weren't getting so much younger all the time. (Like 30-somethings playing grandmothers.)

A thought I never thought I'd have: does it count as historical fiction if it's set in the 80's?

Thought of the moment: when they take a product and show it a picture of a truffle, it increases the price. It makes me think of homeopathics.

I still came out of it better than those unfortunate souls who're convinced that 1900 was a leap year...

Things about which my parents lied to me: they said the year 2000 was a leap year because it was divisible by 1000, when, in fact, it was because it was divisible by 400. Everything I thought I knew is potentially one day off. 😱

It's interesting that if you have food, you don't have it anymore. Anyway, that's my 2 a.m. thought for today. πŸ™‚

Meme about the Microsoft development team. They say, "This feature seems to be working. Let's break it."

A picture is worth a thousand words (that would be lost on them anyway.)

What usually happens is that someone tells me who won or how amazing the final was and then I have to retrospectively watch the whole thing. Resistance is futile, but I shall keep trying.

Finally figured out why I've had Mozart's sonata in A major stuck in my head for the past week. Darn Pride and Prejudice...

Does it also have an algorithm that replaces every fifth word with the word "cosmic"? πŸ€”

If you asked me what the scariest Doctor Who scene in the past 60 years was, I would tell you it was in The Pirate Planet when K9 was on the conveyor belt going towards the incinerator. 😱 So yeah, a skeleton carrying a little doggie freaks me out. πŸ˜‚

I was actually going for scary. Poor dog, etc. πŸ˜‚

Did you know that genetically speaking, the average Czech tests as 20% Swedish? That's what 30 years of handsome, tall, blond, unattached men in the country does to a gene pool. πŸ™‚

Copy/paste, but change what the skeleton is holding.

More photos from my recent trip. These were taken by my tiny Sony DSC-RX100 IV.

I was actually thinking about her yesterday and, honest to god(s), I couldn't remember her name. I remembered the lettuce, though.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind the world that I'd been wearing yellow way before it was cool again. And I was right to think that mustard was a gateway colour to much funner stuff. πŸ’› It's always such a joy to see when they start them young.

Thank you! I'm so chuffed with these. The bridge was taken from another bridge and I only took one photo. πŸ™‚
