I spoke to our suburban Big Issue seller today. I bought one because she looked cold, even though I don't want it because the print size is too small for me. I thought it would be insulting just to give her the money. Turns out she makes so little off the mag that she would rather have the £. Noted.

It seems I melted the non stick coating off the wok using our induction hob this evening. Is this why I have a stomach ache? Exactly how poisoned and out-of-pocket am I?

Series 4 of the Diplomat on Netflix is so good. Best series yet. Delightful dialogue and occasionally some very dry humour. #NowWatching

String group practice last night. I am such a bad, squeaky, violinist, until I am playing with other people and then some magic happens and I'm magically transformed into an average violinist. Love it!

I'm getting a lot more "purple firsts" by working it out with a pencil. And by pencil, I mean taking a screenshot and using a highlighter in edit mode.

I always enjoy an opportunity to post this ~ Alphonse Bertillon, pioneer of the front-&-profile criminal mugshot, did some practice runs with his nephew, a notoriously hardened criminal, aged 2. His crime? 'Nibbling pears' (Silver albumen print, 1893 MoMA)

What IS legal in the UK in terms of self defense?
Throwing Hands?
I read there was a knifing recently - how can Brits protect themselves?!?

This is urgent! It's the top trending fundraiser in the UK right now, but time is ticking to save baby Ollie.
I came across a GoFundMe for baby Ollie, who is facing a serious heart condition. The NHS can't do the lifesaving surgery, only Stanford (California) can. Please consider clicking the link below to donate or share his story with others. Thank you for your kindness! gofund.me/2273a8f6b

Finished Riot Women ont iPlayer. I'm so glad the ending made me smile because despite the laughs, I did lose sleep over the darker parts. Highly recommended but trigger warning for some male violence. FWIW I'm wondering why nobody has ever asked me to be in a rock band. That's a head-scratcher!
