Seeking refuge from Twitter and Sunday afternoons
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

One of those mornings where I think ‘I should mute all the cricket talk’, but it’s somehow so delightfully British, as everyone starts hopeful, only to succumb to the disappointment of reality.

I’m gonna hold off on the thoughts and prayers to all the Poms who’ll be waking up a bit later and seeing their batting scorecard. I need to bear in mind that we have to still bat again and the way things are going anything can happen. Holy shit this has been one crazy test match. 🏏 #Ashes

This is a truly horrible excuse for a test match. The Ashes as T20.

Going to bed early and getting a decent night’s sleep: good, sensible, invigorating for the day ahead
Waking up early and checking the cricket score: Terrible, appalling lapse in judgement, day ruined

Because Rincewind knew very well that when the Four rather small and nasty Horsemen of Panic ride out there is a good job done by Misinformation, Rumor, and Gossip, but they are as nothing compared to the fourth horseman, whose name is Denial.

"Come on, you remember all that stuff. The hallucinations. Everyone said it was a cock up, the CIA trying experiments into drug warfare or something. Some crackpot theory that instead of invading a country it would be much cheaper and more effective to make everyone think they'd been invaded."

Never seen this calendar before but shall watch the year pass with better humour - "This too shall pass". Part of a longer good thread. Makes you think how we have made a mess of social media. Somewhere someone has a job description that includes stirring up rage. Let's pity them.
We’re going to see more of this ridiculous “they’re cancelling Christmas” narrative.
It’s basically Rage-Bait LAW from the 12th November, just as soon as Poppy Rage is over.
Try not to get sucked in👍🏼
It’s not good for your blood pressure to get so angry about imaginary problems

It is just too weird and sad and wrong not having dog(s) in our lives, so Mrs P and I, after long deliberation, cogitation and mastication have decide which breed we would like to adopt. That breed, dear reader, is a scruffy dog.
