Have they pronounced it as “Ed-in-burrow” or “Glass-cow” yet?

Thoroughly suits you!

Think we might have found our house to move to in Scotland. Getting more real by the day.

All those (ruined) original period features!

You’ve been here before with folding smart phones. Resist!

Me getting bloods done last week.

Looking forward to increasing this number soon. smstone0.github.io#/uk-map

I’m pretty certain at least one EU regulatory authority has said it’s not legal but suspect they’re waiting for the ICO to say something. It crystallises what’s been the case for a long time: we pay for things through our data. It’s just they finally put a price on it.

A disappointing stale flavourless pastry is up there for me.

Quite correct. Judging with love 😘

This is new information to me but I am somehow not at all surprised.

Albert!

Hands up if you remember local area networking like this?!

Something uniquely Microsoft about their email security system treating messages *from Microsoft* as threats. Honestly don’t know why I bother.

It was meant as a compliment 🥺

I have every faith that your Olympic-grade pettiness will eventually win out

Oh that can absolutely get in the bin in the sea.

Could be deliveries from today’s shore re-stock haven’t made their way to everywhere yet

Whaaaaaat?! Straight to the Hotel Director!

Can confirm 😍

Despite the scanxiety following a CT scan on Monday, the metastatic mass in my lung has shrunk by over 99% in volume since my treatment. Fuck you cancer!

I’ve got mine in a few weeks to hopefully confirm full remission. Will keep things crossed that it remains good news for you!

Regretting not screening the books I brought for my holiday reads better. One felt like it didn’t have an editor it had such clumsy writing, and one involves *crystals* to which only a Liz Lemon eye roll will succinctly summarise my feelings.

I feel this in my bones. Just lacking a cat…

One year on from getting my diagnosis for testicular cancer, and I’m feeling healthy and happy, sat in my favourite bar on Iona sipping a glass of wine with the very wonderful @iankey.bsky.social ready for two weeks of rest and relaxation.

They don’t tell you when you get a cancer diagnosis that no matter how well your treatment goes, seeing cancer diagnoses in the news bring all those fears rushing back every time.

Glad to see so many people sacking off the bird app finally, time to try and rebuild the online community.

Absolutely fuming how a small number of our mostly retired members talk to colleagues. In a professional setting, it would have you sat in front of HR in a heartbeat.

Reflecting a little on how my career is pivoting of late, and how it aligns with what I see myself doing ten years from now. I’ve always eschewed fixed career goals and tried to stay breezy, but I’m increasingly undecided how viable that strategy is now.

Oh good another place to post things.
