It is wild to me that the 1987 Paul Daniels xmas show had the Pyongyang acrobatic troupe as visiting performers. BBC4 digs up some fantastic archive bobbins.

This C5 movie has a a christmas tree scientist "running DNA" in 3 eppendorf tubes and a tinfoil pie dish.
It's going to take 15 hours under a lamp, apparently.
She's also going to "bond the nutrients together!" using tree sap to save the tree farm. Because SCIENCE!

Made super healthy salmon, rice and peas for dinner, then did TWO pieces of life admin I kept forgetting to deal with, and they BOTH involved having to do stupid account update bullshit.
I have absolutely earned whatever random snacky bollocks I end up ramming in my face in the next few hours.

It's Albert Finney Scrooge time. I do so enjoy Alec Guinness trotting around as a faintly fey Marley and Anton Rodgers dancing on a coffin. Plus, you have never seen more 70s looking urchins in your LIFE.

Got a new stinky candle, bought the very last bonus stocking stuffer (probably), and put out clean sheets and towels. Now time to find a highlighter and sit down with this year's xmas raddy-o-timms and see what festive offerings are on the tellybox.

@gourami.bsky.social FYI, the steampunk market was unsurprisingly bobbins. A weird hodgepodge of crafters, re-sellers and, for some reason, football merch(??).
Saw some nice outfits roaming around town but that's about it.

Look,I know OBJECTIVELY loyalty card pricing is a scam. If you can give that price to the vast majority of your customers, you can give it to all of them. But one cannot deny the psychological impact of what it does at the till. A 'successful' utilisation yeilds impressive looking numbers.

So anyway, I have enroled on a health, nutrition and wellness CPD course at work. I get a certificate at the end and, most importantly, AN EXTRA DAY OFF AS INCENTIVE.
Eh, it'll be educationally old rope but I need a kick up the booty to get back on the stick in the new year.

Found a provisional driving licence on the pavement on my walk in this morning. Picked it up, looked at it. Owner was barely 18, and it was lost on the main drag in to work. Just sighed & thought "he's one of ours, isn't he?"
Got to work, looked him up on the system and yup. Has been duly reunited.

Just found out m'collegue used to work in Special Branch. Legit never knew that.
Was talking about the Bug's potential interest in joining the fuzz. She says they often rejected good applicants as a test to see if they were dedicated enough to keep reapplying. Took her 7 tries to get accepted. 😱

Oh good greif. The Marxist is not happy with the pay award and wants to strike in Jan. Dipshit, 4% backdated is over the AOC's independent recommendation, AND we have a commitment to more in the summer if the surplus is there, plus 3 days extra holls? Just be happy, for once in your goddamn life.

You know I have lived in this house for multiple years now and sometimes I STILL accidentally put in my old postcode when filling out my address. I got the hang of the rest of the address but the postcode, man, it's like a 30-year-long ingrained default.
