So here in France we have a 5G-enabled electricity meter called Linky, which naturally here in the land where people who live in heaven think they live in hell there were all kinds of protests — Linky gives you cancer, makes your kids autistic, kills your dog, sets your house on fire, and so on.

It was intense.

Yessss, Rory!

Nooooo. Rory.

Wow, Rory.

Oh Rory.

All of these are me.
Do you ever get the thing where you are really annoying to yourself, even if you aren't annoying others?

Yes. It is.

A good Sunday. Sang in a super early evening concert with @thechoircefc.bsky.social and home in time to cheer on Rory in The Golf.

As our next concert, Beethoven: Missa Solemnis on 13th April,will be held at the refurbished #Victorian theatre in #AlexandraPalace, we will be forgoing our usual black clothing and embracing our surroundings in full Victoriana.

So fabulous!

Yes. That's what I thought it would be.

GPs and Cardiologists: What's the pathway to access assessment these days for someone with undiagnosed predictable exercise-induced chest pain? It used to be a GP appointment. GP now seems to advise going to ED even if no current pain.
That can't be right, surely?

This is going to make it infinitely more difficult to sign fentanyl out from the CD cupboard

Sometimes my face makes the most peculiar expressions unexpectedly. Still surprising myself after nearly half a century.

ME: Hello, have you got any Quorn?

S: Yes, what variety?

ME: on the Quob?

S: Please leave

Did a night on-call on Thursday. Extra naps on Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. How am I still tired on Sunday?

Just one day left to grab your *EARLY BIRD* tickets for our Beethoven: Missa Solemnis at Alexandra Palace - don't miss out!

FUN FACT: The music you hear on this post is actually us during our last live performance of Missa Solemnis! 🎵

I have new varifocals. There is literally a tiny spot in one lens where I can get my laptop or phone in focus at a distance where I can reach to type. Disaster.

As jarring as when a stone passes?

Matthew and Izzy St Valentine may have packed up his giant helium balloons, petrol station flowers, grotesque life-size teddy bears with matted plush, and cheap massage oil, but your favourite romantic dynamic duo

In this week's Guardian Blind Date, they use the word 'yap' too often and it's very unsettling.

My review yaps back:

Beware the glowing British LOR. Often the most effusive British job reference letters are from employers hoping the subject will be able to move on without them having to get rid of them.

Oh. Ohhh.
They are called that because of trying to keep candles alight in strong winds.
Oh.

I was bought a box of 5 creme eggs for Valentine's Day.
That is true love.

Ben and Maxim Time was, I would review this Blind Date column every week, but nowadays it's very rare for me to do two weeks in a row. Time gets away from me,

In the latest Guardian Blind Date: "Didn't we go on two dates eight years ago, but you didn't want to see me again…?"

I review the long-awaited third date. 👉👈

I really enjoyed that article. Thanks.

The way UK inflation is worked out is changing – and it will matter for everyone Gathering data on consumer prices and the products we’re really buying will become far more precise, giving a better picture of how we deal with rising costs.

Fascinating (no, really!).
