Probably because it's #BurnsNight I see ITV4 is showing An Audience with Billy Connolly. Again.
I'll never complain though, it's always worth a watch. But I can't help but notice how many more audience members have died since I watched it last year.

We had a family birthday this weekend, which has led to Xmas levels of overeating.
A meal out last night, followed by a gathering today for long buffet lunch with sandwiches, party food, cakes, sweets, biscuits, sandwiches..
But these arranged leftover cake letters reminds me of Fawlty Towers 😄

I'm torn between:
'Pay no attention to this, you'll only encourage him'
and
'The man is a tyrant & must be stopped'.

Caught my car odometer at 88888 recently.
Just watched it click over from 88999 to 89000 on our current trip.
Wonder if I'll be so lucky to catch it hit 90000?

Millions of euro worth of international aid meant for people starving in Gaza is expiring in warehouses in Jordan.
At the Al-Ghabawi facility, aid workers have described the situation as “death by bureaucracy”, with lifesaving supplies sitting unused.

The proprietor of The Other Place has been cozying up to white supremacism.
I want to make sure we’re clear on that as he tries to get back in Trump’s favor and his companies become even more closely meshed with the Pentagon.

Every hour between Monday and Tuesday, Twitter generated 6,700 sexual deepfake images.
Experts say it has become the biggest online factory of such material in the world.
This was a trend once on the darkest corners of the web - now pushed by a billionaire into the mainstream.

Think the best way for me to burn calories right now would be to gather all the leftover biscuits, chocolate, and sweets from Christmas, and set them on fire.
