Happy New Year to all !
My 2026 has begun inauspiciously.
Someone has double parked and blocked me from taking my car out.
I have no idea whose it is, but I’m guessing it will be hours until I am granted the use of my vehicle.
I simply don’t understand the selfishness.

Ok techy folks. Why when I click on a link to an article from BlueSky does it very often but not always make my phone blank out & cause me to have to restart BS, usually meaning I lose the post?
It also cuts some other running apps like BBC Radio.
It’s very annoying.

Geez the TV here in the U.K. is epically shit.
Christmas is tough enough as it is if you can’t be with family but having nothing at all worthwhile watching is taking the piss.

Surely the Dulwich College leadership must be deeply concerned about the reputational damage these Farage revelations are causing. Or is antisemitism acceptable in our public schools?

It’s getting very tedious on here. Every day more lies from the Trump administration. More evidence of their destruction of the USA. More collusion with Putin. More pandering here to Farage. More attempts by billionaires to further enrich themselves at our expense.
I’m done.

Being as it’s only me and my doggie this Christmas (which is 1 doggie better than previous years) I’ve been enjoying some seasonal DIY, assembling a 3 shelf cold frame.
Weird I know, but great to have a sense of achievement !!!

It’s 9.30 and my doggie is still asleep! I tried to persuade him to go out for a pee at 7, but no dice.
I’ve accomplished an extraordinary amount in the last 2.5 hours though so I shouldn’t complain!!

As someone who tried every conceivable supplement in a bid to feel less unwell, and had a multitude of negative medical tests, I’d say look at your diet.
It was what I took out of my diet, fats, that made a world of difference.
