I feel like Lionel Richie has very different Sunday mornings to me.

Anyone from Birmingham? Heading down in a few weeks with a group. I need to book somewhere for food after an event so late ish say 9pm. Is the Balti triangle still worth the hike out of the centre or is there somewhere as good in the centre people would recommend? It's years since I was last there.

Going down?

Just finished putting my son to bed: So many children's books are awful, especially when written to rhyme. Just so low effort, it's like they've never been read out loud before publishing.

But…

The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods and the new prequel The Cave Downwind of the Cafe are incredible.

Anyone gone full electric car? I need to change mine and I'm getting pushed EV from every angle. I do 80 miles a day minimum but guess as long as I can get home each day theater not an issue.

Any regrets?

It's been about a year since I stopped using twitter in any meaningful way.

Apart from the obvious decline it was mainly about just getting some time back. I do miss the occasional chats with the people who were mostly good.

Two things hit me though...

After some help please. I have to post something today for someone. They sent me this label.

Do I need to go to a post office to post this or can I stick this in the post box at the end of my road instead?

It doesn't look like tracked delivery.

Son wanted an ice cream so took him to the local, slightly dated but with a reto charm to ice cream parlour. I ordered at the counter and the older waitress looked a bit down. I made poliet small take while she made the Sundae:

"So how are you today?"

To which she replied, "My soul is tired."

Traditions...
Last Christmas, partner insisted I put wrapping paper over the door to the living room as they did it when they were kids so wanted to do it for my son to run through in the morning. I wasn't keen but did it.

Lying in bed I realised I was probably meant to leave the door behind it open.

LNER still running variations on this advert; it's not just me is it? Is it?

What do you drink when you are not drinking?

Got to go to a works do in another town so going to drive. Don't want to drink fizzy drinks all night as I dont like them. Or have the grief of obviously not drinking from people. Tonic water? Guinness Zero? Surely there are better options?

Has anyone seen that new LNER advert on instagram? What were they thinking? Just looks like someone's on their way to wank someone off.

A challenging wank but at least I didn't need to have my ID verified.

When I'm having a bad day I remind myself that the world is my oyster.

Because I hate oysters.

Stuck on a Carlisle industrial estate for the next three hours due to a smashed windscreen rather than... well anything really.

I sat alone in the canteen today. I stared out of the window at the falling snow wondering what it would be like if I poured gravy into a bag of Flame Grilled Steak McCoy's.

Eventually, I returned to my desk.
A gravy stain down my shirt.

I don' care if it makes me a bad person: When I see someone riding a bike with no hands, I want them to fall off.

I've been on a training course today that was compressed from two days into one day. Strangley it simultaneously felt like you could see where they were rushing to fit it in and cut stuff short but also they whole thing could just have easily been done in an hour or two.

Also they also claim their overnight/carry-on bags take ALL the stress out of travelling. Not sure a bag would've stopped the suspicious drugs testing and very thorough search I got in Kingston airport when trying to travel out of Jamaica.
I'm tired... I could stop there but... of companies trying to push the 'ultimate' travel backpack on me then showimg me a video of someone storing their phone in it (?) and packing a laptop, one jumper, one tshirt and just one spare shoe.
