Well so far the most expensive part of my vacation has been a trip to Powells bookstore in Portland.

A restaurant called wankers corner

Well I don’t think I’ll be coming to eat at this restaurant at any point

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen As a restaurant owner – I’m astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today’s microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow’s m…

I laughed so hard I thought I was going to cough up an organ. Every line is gold.

Then it went to shit with a terrible meal with service so bad it was 0% tip even after they gave discounts, and a leaking bathtub in the hotel meaning we needed to help with plumbing then change rooms. Win some, lose some.

Started today with an excellent day - collecting sea glass at glass pebble beach, a trip to the house that inspired gravity falls and Mx12 got to touch a shark!

Same!

And in similar annoying news I have 3 Star Wars sets turning up today/tomorrow and I’m on vacation for the next week. But that does mean 4 sets to build when I return.

Please donate anything you can. If you are a UK tax payer, use gift aid to donate more from the tax man. If you work for a company that offers charity matching, please use that.

I'm running the London Marathon next year for Sage House, hoping to raise $10,000 to support people like my parents, and many others who are living with dementia every day.

Without their wayfinders helping solve day to day problems, and plot out a path for living with a worsening condition, my parents would be unable to deal with the shit that life has thrown at them. They are an amazing organization and run soley on donations.

They are helping people like my parents. My dad is living with dementia, and Sage House provides not only support for him, helping to guide him as this horrible disease robs him of his capabilities in life and giving him a place to feel safe, but also support for my mum as his primary carer.

Ouch! I’ve had 24 hours thanks to crowdstrike but never that bad. I feel for you.

I love flight delays, especially for evening flights when travelling with a tired kid.

I love hearing kids swear when they don’t think an adult can hear. Just heard Mx12’s best friend exclaim “oh mother fucker” very loudly. Made me chuckle!

Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me? by FLETCHER on Apple Music Album · 2025 · 11 Songs

Listening to the new Fletcher album with coffee and people watching. It’s sooo good. Feels like the next instalment in a journey of growing up through her music. Much less pop than earlier albums, more honest and raw in the lyrics. music.apple.com/us/album/wou...

10 things is one of my favorite movies. Love all the nods to Shakespeare, like “the shiteth hath hitteth the fan. Eth”

Was there the other week. Such a cool place, that pool is sooooo relaxing, moving through it feels like a slow, gentle massage.

a man and a girl are standing next to each other and the girl is crying and the man is saying mostly . Alt: Newt looking at Ripley and saying mostly

Agreed. And I still get shivers when Newt says “mostly”.
