Here's what I've been up to over the last year - hanging out with this baby.
No work, no Twitter, no news - just chilling with this little monkey.
It's been the best year ever, but I'm now back at work and trying to get my brain functioning again.

Can anyone recommend a gym companion app of sorts? Looking to record what I'm doing/take suggestions.

Welsh Bluesky, this weekend I started a TikTok talking about Swansea. Would love it if you could help amplify it - it's doing pretty well!

Nothing winds me up more than the trend of young blokes sticking a tea towel on their head and pretending they're a middle aged woman. 🤛🤛🤛

I'm watching Heretic (I'm up to the JarJar Binks impression), but I'd rather fight the devil himself than listen to some edgelord bloke chat religion at me. Id have lost my temper in there within 2 minutes.

Booked an all inclusive holiday - going to be fuming if I have to get up at 6am to put towels down. I'm not ready for that life.

As a country, we've not figured out New Year's Eve content. Do we sofa sitters want to watch a 30 minute disco before the countdown?

Not to be a Gavin and Stacey bore, but I didn't want the end to be about Smithy (vom) and Nessa - I wanted Bryn's gay wedding!

I don't like how old everyone has got in Gavin and Stacey.
I also don't like James Corden.

People not learning that Time's Person of the Year doesn't mean 'best person of the year'. Hitler winning it was a hint. Do we really need this silly discourse every year?

Americans, from the UK here - I have a healthcare Q. There seems to only be blame on the insurance provider side (mafia middleman), but nothing on the medical side. I don't get it - who is pricing an ambulance trip, or a birth? The NHS isn't paying hundreds of £k per birth here, right? Or is it?

Who is the evil genius that made Stitch merch such a thing? Got to be bottom 5 Disney films, yet 90% of Primark has that alien covered in it.

I wonder how many people are shot in NYC every day. Do they all get this level of policing? Does the fact he's a white rich man mean he's worth more time and effort? 🤷

You know what grinds my gears? Gift bags. What an absolute scam and drain on the earth. Don't bother spending £3 extra to put the wrapped present in. It now has to hang around my house for years until I can palm it off on someone else. Absolute conspiracy.

Hear me out, I think we should move Christmas to January. We're still coming down from Halloween in December and it's a miserable long time until March - let's eke out the fun stuff.

I do love how Tiktok's algorithm can decide some weird stuff about you and throw you down a hole you didn't know existed. I feel like every other video for me is 'Catholic tok' to the point I know all there is to know about Carlo Acutis, the millennial saint. Who knows what it will be next month!
