Currently being subjected to Ski Sunday. I have memories of it consisting of people skiing. I don't remember it consisting of young people literally shouting badly written scripts at the camera.

Might check Songs of Praise isn't being presented by John Lydon or something.

Radiation exposure creates cancer resistant super-lupines in clear sign that evolution is still a thing. No notes yet from experts regarding x-ray vision or an ability to leap tall buildings; actual flight is almost certainly still off the cards, however.

(Tragically nerdy tweet alert)

For several reasons, Mum & Dad have bought a new microwave combination oven grill thing. That is not what I wish to draw to your attention.

What I want to mention is the user manual. It is, by far, the most comprehensive user manual I've ever seen. 1/2

Watching the WPL I was surprised to see the British Leyland logo on an advertising board. Turns out it's still in use by Indian company Ashok Leyland.

Below is a photo of their headquarters in Chennai, which demonstrates how unfortunately similar to something else the old BL logo is at a distance.

Mum and Dad went to the doctor's this morning. Apparently there was a poster on the wall which read:

"Do you feel controlled by someone close to you?"

Dad suggested they report the cat.
