Actually more cheerful than my online presence would suggest.
I post a lot about my hair and my search for miracle potions. And TV. Lots of TV. A bit of football stuff. I'm not very deep.

This article tells you all the ways you can adjust a phone or tablet so you don't need a separate e-reader but then says "The resulting display experience isn't the same as e-paper" which is the main reason people buy e-readers. Written by someone who doesn't actually read?
Why There's Simply No Need For A Kindle Anymore - BGR
While a Kindle made sense for any avid reader a few years back, modern tablets and smartphones have become capable of replacing Kindles for e-reading.

A Biologist Explains Why Human Babies Are Born So Helpless. Hint: Evolution Made A Strategic Tradeoff

Imagine if the winter Olympics wasn't snow and ice based sports but just miserable tests of endurance in driving rain. Team GB would absolutely top the medals table.

It's good how we're all different and like a variety of things and it would be boring if we were all into the same stuff.
That said, I can't believe some of you have such terrible taste and I think it should be illegal.
My taste is impeccable of course.

VAR has become a bulletproof cloak that PGMOL have wrapped themselves in.
We wanted VAR because PGMOL are dogshit. Predictable, giving shit people a new tool produces shit results.
PGMOL implemented it in the most dogshit way. VAR took the flak, not them.

My overriding thought of that match is that it was a really good advertisement for VAR.

Those "it's ok not to have a show home. Living like this is normal!" posts on Instagram have GOT to be rage bait, surely?
Like, there is an in-between? You don't have to be Mrs Hinch or living in squalor? And I say that as someone with fairly low standards.

She scandalised the art world in the 1990s with her unmade bed, partied hard in the 2000s – then a brush with death turned the artist’s life upside down. Now she’s as frank as ever

Ordered a dress from H&M. Surprisingly - seeing as I'm a short arse - it's far too short so sending it back.
Reminded me of when I wondered whether a dress was too short for work and then wore it anyway. Colleague said "oooh lovely top" then did 🙊as she realised. So yes it apparently was too short.

Wordle has been around for years now and millions of dopes are still plugging in ADIEU as their starter word. You don't need vowels, people, you need consonants! You can guess a word without the vowels but not generally the other way around. Just ask an Arabic, Hebrew, or Yiddish speaker. They know.

Have been diligently watching old Taggart and I'm right up to the *spoiler alert* episode where Jardine dies and Burke takes over. It's so beautifully shot. The scene where Robbie, Jackie and Stuart walk over the sand to Jardine's body is just perfect.

Also while I'm doing my Money saving Expert bit...had a hotel booked for next week when we visit family. Logged out of app and got a price for if I was just looking today. £70 cheaper. Cancelled and rebooked. But I've also downloaded the Sprive app and I *think* I'll get some cash back too.

I never go to Asda because the one by us is massive and always super busy and you can't just nip in and out for milk and bread but I went today and I forgot how good it is. Firstly, did I mention it is MASSIVE? It's got a proper magazine aisle that I think is better than WHSmiths?

I have not stopped pissing money since October. Was hoping for some respite but just got the vet's estimate for treatment costs.

Love him so much.
I adore Wataru Endō and watching him hobble around to try and save a team that’s barely used him is entirely indicative of who he is. I really, really hope he makes the World Cup #lfc www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolF...
From the LiverpoolFC community on Reddit: The fact that Wataru Endo stood up to defend that corner with what can be a broken ankle or a damaged ligament. Absolute warrior, deserves all the praise he’s...

Exclusive: Countdown lexicographer urges families to read, talk and play word games to help language development
Children’s vocabulary is shrinking as reading loses out to screen time, according to the lexicographer Susie Dent, who is urging families to read, talk and play word games to boost language development.
The Countdown star’s warning comes as the government prepares to issue advice to parents for the first time on how to manage screen use in under-fives, amid concerns that excessive screen time is damaging children’s language development. Continue reading...
