In better news, thanks to @hugogordon.bsky.social for perking me up earlier with news that Cardiff are currently top of the URC! A small amount of joy from the binfire that is Welsh rugby today

Honestly, there is no better rugby writer out there than @bloodandmud.bsky.social. This preamble is a work of art. #WALvRSA

Has anyone ever sent their cut in half driving licence back to the DVLA? Doesn't everyone just chuck them in a drawer with old passports etc?

Saw that America's Next Top Model was on E4 and thought I'd go back down memory lane.
In season 16, this woman was called 'curly and curvy'. I think, for the sake of not triggering my ED, I should mot be watching this.

Instead of listening to terrible TNT comms, you could just read the amazing live blog from @bloodandmud.bsky.social over on the Guardian.

I cannot imagine the level of chutzpah that it takes for a man who has caused the death and misery of trans kids to post about other adults bullying kids. Take a look in the mirror before you criticise others Wes.

Back to my original point, where i live in London we have a *huge* outdoor market with many fruit and veg stalls where you get a bowl of a specific sort of thing for £1. But unless you want to eat all of that raw, it's not a meal. You also have to be not working during market hours to get there.

Maybe slightly more than that actually, it's a small portion, but this is one of the places close to me. Almost all the places locally do a meal (burger, chips, soda) for under £5.

Also, the Theatr Cymru production of Romeo a Juliet at the Globe was seriously life changing today. A bilingual performance that had the Montagues speaking Cymraeg and the Capulets speaking English (mostly). Incredible to see such a traditionally English play performed in Cymraeg, in London.

There are many reasons to shop from indie bookshops, but @biggreenbooks.bsky.social always get me new books even before they're officially released! So happy to come back to this beauty last night.

Look, I'm not one to criticise experimental cooking. I once made a pickled cucumber martini (it was bad). But when I order an apple pie, I expect pastry and apples. Not a crumble cake with almost no apple in it.
Yes yes, I know this isn’t a real problem!

My local bakery has started doing pastries and this weekend their savoury option is a cheese, leek, and mustard swirl. It is absolutely *delicious*.
