Amazed by the resilience of all the runners I saw at #LondonMarathon yesterday, and great to see so many fundraising for Service charities including the #RoyalBritishLegion, #ScottysLittleSoldiers and @ssafaofficial.bsky.social.

Last weekend was my three-year wedding anniversary. We got married during a trip to New York, a treasured memory. But I'm not sure I'd risk it today.

On a minibreak in Dublin and went along to an @ogaeireland.bsky.social #Eurovision2025 preview party for a bit. Wholesome reaction to their local entry Emmy. #LaikaParty 🐶🚀

I like "Anxiety", but also finding its the Millennial/Y version of this meme for Gen X. Suspensefully waiting for either the brooding "Now and then I think of when we were together..." from Gotye I'm used to or Doechii bursting through the door with "Anxiety, keep on trying me...".

Did a rewatch of Set It Up (2018) last night for #ValentinesDay after first seeing it when it went up on @netflix.com - still easily my favourite romcom. 2010s gags blended with homage-to-90s vibes, sweet and comfortingly predictable but still sharply written.

Fab 🧵 summarising body-doubling tool Focusmate here. It also gave me this handy #SpotifyWrapped-style breakdown.

Boxing Day cheese, turkey and pasta bake. Meal of kings - uses up the cheeseboard and beats bubble & squeak, which is always a waste of perfectly good leftovers.

Boxing Day turkey and cranberry sandwich with a bit of gravy-soaked 'Moistmaker' sourdough. Perfect.

Just moved to the area and grabbed a takeaway at that very #Wimpy today. "In all its 70s glory" even in their own materials, they know their brand tbf.

Building an Ikea corner desk for my new home office, decide to put on some music to keep me chill at the outset of this finnickity process. Computer immediately wishes that it gives me hell, courtesy of the All-American Rejects. Cheers Spotify.

My late-stage flirtation with Brat and APT wasn't enough to trick the algorithm into thinking I'm with it, I see. I will never change - old faves, Eurodance and recession pop for the win. #SpotifyWrapped2024

When the Elgin Marbles discourse comes round, I forget they're not actually a set of toy marbles. But if they were, the 'don't give them back' crowd could outfox Greece simply by giving them to an adorable child and then daring their PM to come for them.

Vibes of the TTOI ep from 2009 when the minister and Malcolm don't know what Twitter even us.

So I'm starting to make the jump. This place is like an Aldi-brand version of old Twitter and I'm so here for it.
