True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

It's What3Words accounts filing day πŸŽ‰

The good news! They reduced yearly losses to Β£10.6m from Β£16.4m, and turnover increased from Β£1m to Β£2.1m!

The bad news! They achieved this by laying off 36 staff, and that Β£1m increase is probably from a single EU client.

They have Β£15m in assets remaining

My 7yo asked to watch a Despicable Me film. He said β€œany one. 0, 1, 2 or 3. Not 4 though”. After some probing, I learned that he assumed that a film without a number (β€œDespicable Me”) was number zero in the series. Apparently zero indexing is intuitive to some people!

Today we went to a cafe (one that serves both Horlicks and Bovril, to set the scene), and I ordered the biggest breakfast on the menu. When it arrived, I found out that my dear wife Sonia had made a bet with our friend about whether I would finish it.

A reminder that the best way to establish that you are who you say you are when you join BlueSky is to post a unique picture of your cat.
