The changes to the Workouts app in watchOS 26 are abysmal 💀
You have to tap a play icon the size of a shirt button to begin your workout where previously you just mashed anywhere on the screen. Who signed that off?

I contacted Virgin to try and get the cost of my broadband down from £50odd per month to something *sane* and the first solution they offered me is an offer to pay £77 per month instead, for broadband and a SIM card.

I thought it would be smart to add some
fibre supplement to my big batch of tomato soup and I clearly added too much because it’s come out like soft, tomato flavoured jelly 🥲
Can’t begin to communicate my sadness

There’s very little that I feel is incomplete about my life, I’m very fortunate to want for virtually nothing.
However, one of those giant American-style refrigerators? Yes.
Oh and Mielé appliances throughout. That as well.

I sometimes install Facebook to see what’s new since the last time I logged in (probably 6 months ago) and then I’m quickly reminded about why it’s deleted in the first place. Vile platform.

Also Liverpool Road smells of c*m. Pretty sure it’s the trees, but it smells of c*m.
Thanks for your attention to this matter

I only ever use Facebook on holiday, just so I can post little updates for family and whatnot, but Christ almighty… it always reminds me exactly what I’ve *not* been missing since I deleted it.
So many friends and family seem to just *live* on there, lapping up conspiracy theories and fake news 💀

So glad there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel for GTA VI.
I remember the feeling when GTA V came out. I can still smell the fresh paint. The cars had never been used, the casinos had never been played in.
