It amuses me how Gallo mark themselves down on the creaminess and resistance of their risotto rice.

Double joining rewards on Smarty mobile at the moment. I’ve been really happy with them. I’m saving a tonne on what we were spending with Three. #smarty #referralcode

Simple, honest mobile
SMARTY is a new SIM-only mobile network that’s built to be fair, transparent and smart.

I’ve just used ChatGpt to create an alt text for an image. Alt text is really important for the vision impaired but it’s also time consuming so doesn’t always get done or doesn’t get done well.

I thought the AI did a good job.

We rot Dill in the fridge and you can too!

For several months my wife has been buying packets of Dill. She places them at the back of the fridge and waits for them to turn into Soylent Green.

Occasionally we have to discard some but it gets replaced every week.

I moved my whole family from Three to Smarty. I'm saving a lot of money. The network is powered by the Three towers so my coverage has stayed unchanged. At the moment they are doing 80GB data for £10. Plus they are giving up to £40 as a signing bonus if you use my link i.smarty.co.uk/6armKNp

How is the music of Pink Floyd still so good after all these years? Just listening to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. It was released when I was a month old!

If you are going to break a wine glass, try to make it one of your Riedels. That will really improve your day. Serves me right for leaving them unwashed by the sink for a week.

Homemade chicken and vegetable soup. Adding a sweet potato lifts it beyond boring. You can make this cheaper than store bought in about 30 minutes. #lush #soup #homemade

Hugh Grant is really chilling in Heretic. He’s creeping me out.

Just had these delivered. Same as the ones we had last week. I think my idea of a ripe and ready banana is a bit different to Tescos.

Wanted to put ale in my stew today but only had Carlsberg. So I used that.

It’s probably going to be the best stew in the world.

That was pretty shameful America. Anyone who thinks that was appropriate behaviour in the Oval Office needs to sit quietly in the shade for a while.

These tariffs aren’t about drugs or border security. They mean to engender hate between nations and eventually set the stage for invasion.

Another crisp morning here in Longden, Shropshire.

Shrewsbury needs Telford for our economic security. It’s just an arbitrary line on a map. #annexetelford

Trump is making very Putinesque noises about taking territory from Canada, Denmark and Panama. I really hope the world won’t stand by and let him bully nations and steal territories.

Wet and messy snow here in Longden, Shropshire. Looks like Mr Rabbit is still getting about though.

I still use Facebook to keep up with what is going on with family and friends.

Recently though Meta have flooded my timeline with content farm posts. I keep hiding them but they are just replaced with more.

If they aren’t careful they will kill the platform.
