Without a doubt the highest place I'll ever have a coffee without being on a plane!

Did a "big shop" two weeks ago at Tesco. Did another one today and it's actually alarming how much prices have risen in that space of time.

These Jet2 memes are getting out of hand now. Perhaps one of the stranger items of graffiti I've ever seen.

Feels like I've gone back in time to 2002 watching this whopper of a hotel TV. Wonder if it'll go CRACK in the middle of the night...

This has tickled me, so true.
![cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows:
[Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them]
1
TOWER FAN 1:
Right lads, get ready.
2
TOWER FAN 1:
This is our time.
3
TOWER FAN 1:
The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here.
4
TOWER FAN 1:
We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft,
and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever.
5
TOWER FAN 1:
I know what you’re
thinking, lads:
6
TOWER FAN 1:
Surely this will be the year they finally replace us?
7
TOWER FAN 1:
Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018...
8
TOWER FAN 1:
Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh…
TOWER FAN 2:
Cheers mate
9
TOWER FAN 1:
But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists.
By the time they remember,
new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon.
10
TOWER FAN 1:
So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out...
11
TOWER FAN 1:
...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than.
12
[The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder]
PERSON:
APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreidbpfu2ioghspjcg4xitzv655jzjwp5lgxk5hi3ag7sechgh222ze@jpeg)

Loving the passive-aggressive announcement from the LNER TM this morning asking to keep phone calls quiet and to avoid using speaker-phone because "no one is interested in what you have to say" pahaha, nicely said and very true.

According to my records I've not had a 91 out of Stevenage since 2011 and since it's their day today, a pre-work trip just had to be done! 91124 arrives with the 09:28 to York. #225day

Forgot my earphones and on a couple of fairly long train journeys today 😤 nothing to drown out the sound of asshats watching videos out loud and having no sense of how to behave in public.

Has anyone ever picked something up from the floor with their toes (at home obvs) because you can't be bothered to bend down? Or is it just me channelling my inner primate 🐵

Just seen a man say hello to a potted plant, and when it inevitably didn't reply, he turned to storm off and tripped over a bollard. Some right states in Leeds.

January has lasted about three years but locking up this evening at 17:30 and there's still a glimmer of light in the sky - we're (slowly) getting somewhere!
