I created a Bluesky account and bought James Acaster's "Guide to Quitting Social Media" on the same day. So that's how my life is going.

My partner did a sketch of me over morning coffee. I think she hit the tired and grumpy nail on the head.

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires.

There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

I know nothing about Dr Who, but, for Londoners, the phrase "Going For Dinner With Billie Piper" is the absolute best way to remember the order of the vertical streets running east to west in Soho (Greek, Frith, Dean, Wardour, Berwick, Poland) and has saved many a late night out

Training and paying doctors to work in the National Health Service is actually EXACTLY where I want my cash to go as a taxpayer, Wes, and I'll have you out at the next election.

We are sad to report that longtime Blue Peter Editor Biddy Baxter has died at the age of 92. We salute a true pioneer, who navigated changing times in the television industry with instinct, tenacity and style.

My new watch is a bit passive aggressive with its exercise reminders.

I respect any motherfucker who can paint the hell out of light & water
Albert Bierstadt’s Rocky Mountain Landscape, oil on canvas, 1870. View of the Rocky Mountains, which dominate the painting - they're a mossy green, with one waterfall to the left and at least two narrow, silvery streams to the right. Some of the tallest peaks in the back are snow capped. in the foreground: a small copse of trees with green and orange leaves, a dark, shadowy meadow/grass with tiny pink flowers, a family of deer (doe, stag, fawn). The water between the mountains and the grass reflects the mountains almost perfectly. It's paradisiacal: the painting is about 40% clouds, which shift from pearlescent white to lavender (almost like moonstone) - they cling low to the mountains and climb up into the sky, obscuring its blue almost totally. Looks like the sun is in the upper right corner of the painting, though you can't see it, only its rays filtering through the clouds, touching the mountains and water below. Albert Bierstadt’s Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, oil on canvas, 1868 View of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In the bottom right corner of the painting, there’s a patch of deep green grass and forest, seven deer (including one stag) and birds that look like geese or ducks flying into the water. The mountains occupy the entire background and most of the left side of the painting, some of the peaks in the far back are snow capped. Two waterfalls pour into water that's almost a gunmetal color with a blue tint, the water is mostly still except for a layer of silver mist in the far background and ripples where the birds and deer are. The waterfall and face of the mountain are reflected in the water's surface. The colors on the right side of the painting are warm and rich, but they become darker and cooler toward the left side, where the face of the mountain almost looks made of steely gray stone. Like the other painting, the sun is obscured but its rays are diffused through thick clouds that shift from a pale yellow to stormy gray.
