At risk of sounding like an old cranky person, I am annoyed at how many things that used to work don't work now. The Prime Videos app on Windows has random digital hitches. My wireless controller now cuts out at random intervals for 20-30 seconds. Things that used to just work, now suddenly clunky.

Happy #tongueouttuesday y’all. Last weekend I went out on a bike ride with Cher for the first time since I got Covid. She had a blast as usual and I survived, just had to walk some hills. It’s getting better though, just have to keep going out.
Have a great day!

CBS is now state run media. Killing a story, then lying about the justification, is the death of integrity.

As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids.
If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

after much consideration, we've made the hard decision to...foster fail Tibalt. 🤣
We're going to keep him! He bonded really well with our cats and the idea of trying to find him another home after he was returned once broke my heart. So here he shall stay, happy and warm. 💕

Listening to my work mate sing their lungs out to “do they know it’s Christmas” and I’m sat here like: I wanna go home.

Thankful to The Beatles for making the guitar look cool when I was a little kid. Thankful to my parents for giving me a guitar and paying for a few lessons.
Thankful to the guitar for enriching every day of my life ever since.
