We had this when we lived in the UK a lot and it turned out it's because the drivers get an unrealistic amount of deliveries to make in a day.

So to work around it, they will say it's been delivered on the day, but it wasn't, then miraculously it's delivered the following day. Super annoying!

The ads aren't even that long and pretty much are mostly geared towards being ~30s so it just loops 4-6 times.

Nice that Duolingo's new "Charge" system, replacing the old hearts system, when you run out of charge, hits you with ads that are +2minutes to earn some charge back.

The 30s, sometimes 1m ad was bearable, but this is just a joke now surely 😂

Heard something that Jack Black had been doing about finding an artist and listening to all their stuff in chronological order.

I have been on a Jimmy Eat World journey all day, it's excellent.

2 glasses of Bread & Butter, Pinot Noir, red wine on a wooden table, part filled with a wine bottle next to them.

New favourite unlocked 🤩

+ not buying a brand new pair of headphones at ~£400

And hopefully the battery doesn't die within 5 hours now 😂

Got round to repairing my WH1000xm3's instead of buying a new pair, new battery, side brackets and earcups for a rough grand total of ~£25.

The satisfaction of turning the headphones back on, it working and sound coming out of both earcups 🤩

I also found out they were just ordering said book from a larger chain store, feels like a second middleman got added in between lol

I'm all for supporting local book stores, but when they take 2 months to order in a book, as they had forgotten to order it, I'm sort of out off 😅

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Came back from vacation and managed to start & finish 2 books as well as get 1/4 way through another 😁

White and grey ragdoll cat sleeping upside down

Our second cat is also now in chill mode

Brown/beige Mocha coloured ragdoll lying on their back after being at the car hotel all week.

I think our cat is happy to be home from the cat hotel #ragdoll #cat

I've said it before and I'll say it again, StoryGraph needs a designer

When you think you finally got through to the call centre because all the music stopped, only to realise they were taking their time to ready up another banger.

Been reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson and saw people say nothing interesting happens until much later.

I must be some exception or just easy to please because i'm 250 pages in and i've loved every part so far 😁.

Yea it sometimes feels that way, usually it's on some climb, but what comes up must come down which is the best part 😁

I think I'm more shocked your HR is that low even doing slightly more effort 😂

My last Zone 2 ride for example

Fair, any exercise is better than none 🙂 💪

Need to get that heart rate up 😁

I have played about 40 hours of Elden Ring Night Reign and i have to say I've been loving it.

Sure it's frustrating at times but those games where your team comes together it's awesome.

Read some chapters of #TheDevils by @joeabercrombie.com tonight and above all loving the humour. I howled at the magician 😂

Hardback of Joe Abercrombies' The Devils

Been looking forward to this, the cover and inside cover artwork look incredible! 😁 @lordgrimdark.bsky.social

Finished reading Piranesi, not sure how I feel about it, it was good and I enjoyed it sure... but I feel like I was hoping for more?

I love @thestorygraph.com, but i wish the UI got some polish, it could be so nice!.

Feels massively unfinished or broken in places 😔

Instead of assuming something and or someone made bad decisions intentionally, try asking them and finding out more first so you don't look like an idiot 😅?

Love being added to a chat where people are berating something you were part of building without zero context as to why it was built a certain way. 🙃

Top down shot of two books, left, Red Rising by Pierce brown in softback and right, Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson in a nice hard back

Found a gold mine of books at a local book, boardgame, Lego store we have here in Tromsø, picked up these I've had on my TBR for a while ☺️

One thing that has been bugging me for a long time about Spotify.

I use "Liked Songs" as my library and the list continuously gets smaller over time as and when music is updated, pulled, re-added to Spotify.

Kind of makes me CD's, my own digita/physical media and how it stays in my library.
