Really fancied the Apple Pie McFlurry on the way home and my local McDonalds is closed! That’s just rude.

I’ve been quoted £700 to replace the gates at the back of my house, and my initial reaction was that’s very expensive, but I’ve really got no idea. Anyone have any ideas?
I’ve asked for them to be replaced like for like. So should look the same (but not blue). Excuse the bad paint job.

Made a rude shape in my coffee.
That’s as exciting my Sunday has been!

I had a few hours to kill yesterday in London so I had a wander round Battersea Power Station. Love it in there! And I pretty much had the place to myself!

Myke's 2026 Yearly Theme
Every year — for nearly ten years — we have set a Yearly Theme. This is a word or phrase that guides the year and informs the choices we make. We use this phrase to help evaluate decisions and to give anchor points to base work — and sometimes our personal lives — around. In a usual year, we would reflect on our previous Yearly Theme and set our new one. However, this is not a normal year. With Grey on break from Cortex at the moment, Myke decided not to record the episode without him. Instead, he wanted to make this video to share his thoughts. It's important to him to have his Theme on record, so thought to try sharing it in a new way.

Let’s count the number of password resets and account recoveries I’ve done so far today.

I’m at the ‘I wish I never started’ in the de-Christmas / clean up of the house.
Next year I’m just leaving them up. Be one of those crazy people that go on ThisMorning.

Niece wants to go to the Metrocentre today. She has a list of shops she wants to go in, and Christmas money burning a hole in her pocket. This is going to be hell.
