Also PURPLE BACKLIGHT!

I have invested in a new keyboard. I'm a little concerned it's too loud for home but the keyboard action is lovely and the stands bring it to the correct height.
Plus, it's gorgeous and feels like it came from Space:1999.

I remember laughing rather a lot when I found that out.

Our compliance and legal team said Nope!

Our office banned use of it. I've never even dared to go near it.

My colleague drinks a LOT of tea. We're just checking to see if we can have 'insanity due to lack of tea' added to the list of things covered by our work travel insurance.

A colleague just went to Berlin. She couldn't find 'proper tea' anywhere. They searched for 3 days. Even our Berlin office only had fruit or herbal. Is this a German thing?
@yorkshiretea.bsky.social can you do a push to the German market? We have resolved to never leave home un-Tea'd.

I'd like to meet the people that make this shit up. Preferably whilst wearing all the things they say I shouldn't. 😁😁

Oh Henry, no! Come on little fella.

What, again? My colour is what I am comfy in. Do I care that black 'doesn't suit' me? No. Do I wear it 90% of the time? Yes. Same as I wear makeup that I like, not what other foolish people say I should wear now I am of a certain age.

@kytchenwytch.bsky.social I mean...just OTTER!

My arms are for hugging, not admiring.
My legs are for walking, not critique.
I wear shorts and vest tops. Arms and legs on display for all.
If others don't like them, they are free to look away.

OTTER! OTTER!

Oh my goodness! He's the MAN.

The real Salt Path: how a blockbuster book and film were ... Penniless and homeless, the Winns found fame and fortune with the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. We can reveal that the truth behind it is ve...

I am now extremely pleased that I decided not to see this film.

Watching a crime series earlier and one of the team dies. Suddenly, on screen, and in front of her colleagues.
As a TV shock tactic, it was impeccable. It took me a good few minutes to shake myself out of it.
Bravo actors, bravo directors and team. My god. (No series name because spoilers.)

Writing Prompt So that was weird.

Today a friend lost her PIP. She says she wants to end her life because it has now made her into a burden on her partner.
I never thought Labour would pull this Tory nonsense. It's widespread ableism and she will be the first of many. PIP decisions made by the Able Bodied. #descrimination

Nooooooo! He was amazing. OMG.

No, been a homeworker since the first lockdown. :)

It was so good. I did one with chicken, fresh garlic from my garden and anchovy last night. That packed a punch!

She also makes me laugh a lot, and I loved it when all her boys were in the kitchen, growing up and teasing their mom about her accent.

I admit, Pati has entranced me since her first TV show, and I am lacking in UK knowledge. I do need to remedy that!

Hello everyone. I appear to have forgotten about this place. To be fair, I've been mostly about work for the past however long.
So here, have a photo of a lovely lentil, olive and broccoli salad what I made. Preserved lemon and olive oil dressing.

FFS. So many more out there. No disrespect meant to TM, BUT...maybe their 'go to' for Mexican food should be actual Mexican people. I'll hold up Pati Jinich as a wonderful, personable example.

Convince onlookers that you are an expert in some esoteric martial art by inadvertently walking face first into a spiderweb.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Amplifying voices? An island of strangers? Stop trying to be Tories, and start being what we hoped you were.
'Strangers' cared for me, washed and bathed me, held me when I cried and fed me when I couldn't do it myself. My stranger nurses are beloved, and NEEDED.

Who the hell is chopping onions in here?

...as is predictable, I fall fast asleep.
