After coming across memorial statue in Barnsley yesterday & learning about England's worst mining disaster, today YouTube served up a video on it. Didn't search online or talk to anyone.. actually, did tell Seren. Guess Google is always listening & tracking location. #bigbrother

Want to get ice pop from the freezer to cool down, but don't want to disturb Bailey on the stairs. Also, if I go downstairs I'll feel obliged to hang out the 2nd load of washing & Bailey will def want to go outside then. So I guess I'm staying in this room & being hot & thirsty

Waits for me to have a break for lunch, then rushes to lie down as though she's been there the whole time. Like that's some special superpower she has that makes me feel sorry for her & take her outside for a bit. To be fair, it does work. #bailey #cat #lunchtime #workingfromhome

Monitor arm arrived today, so Bailey now has somewhere to lie down while I work. That wasn't the reason I got it, but that's the end result. #bailey #cat #workingfromhome

May have underestimated the size of the new monitor that I ordered for work. Perhaps there's just a lot of packaging and it'll be much smaller than the box, and I won't have to sit on the other side of the room to use it...? #monitor #toobig #mistake #regret

Check weather forecast, no rain due until 2pm. Hang out washing at 12, immediately starts raining once I'm back inside. It can stay out there now, in the rain.

Billions invested in AI, we're burning the planet to power it all, and this is what I ask

Yesterday it started raining the moment I hung the washing out, today it started raining the moment I stepped out of the house to walk to the post office to drop off some Amazon returns. #whydoesitalwaysrainonme

Also started chucking it down when I was sorting out the car tyre pressures last night. Then eased off the moment I was inside. Not that I'm paranoid, but really looks like some sort of god does actually exist and he/she is very vindicative.

Now that the new Jurassic World movie is out, you don't realise how basic the CGI was in the first film until you revisit it... #JurassicWorldRebirth #JurassicWorld #JurassicPark #CGI #garden #trees #YesIWastedMyTimeOnThisForNoGoodReason

Just knocked my monitor onto the floor, ripping the HDMI plug from the cable in the process. Stared at it in silence for a while. Then put it in the garage.

.@serenshaw was bored so took her out to see the forest clearance - didn't seem that impressed. Yeah, I'm not sure the felling is evenly spready or less than 30% of the canopy cover either (I'm sure that's what she was thinking). Feel an email already forming in my head. #garden

Making our way down from upper track to lower one. Chances of slipping & ending up impaled on a protruding branch sticking out of the ground- 50/50. It's like they've driven a digger through here, knocking down everything in the way... probably because they did. #garden #woodland

Lived here for 6 years & never been round here or seen this view of the street before. This is how they got digger in - came in from Standedge Road, knocked down a path through the trees & ended up behind our garden. Had chat with neighbours on the way back. #garden #woodland

£6.5k on roof & now this. Had 2 weeks to mentally prepare, but still hurts. Somehow managed to avoid this level of pain for 23 years of being a homeowner, but guess you can't dodge it forever. Unless I sell house. Mmm.... (that's how I deal with big car repairs) #boiler #annoying

2 hours later and we're now at £3000

Just a random search, nothing to do with my previous tweet

On reflection, smartphones + social media probably is the worst thing to happen to our species metro.co.uk/2025/08/08/cla…

Well that's a schoolboy error - forgot about the minimum monthly payment for my Virgin Money balance transfer. Didn't factor that into my calculations, obvs thought it was free money I didn't need to worry about until next year. At least I haven't got any big expenses coming up.

RRG Skoda didn't call me like they said they would. Also didn't call me back after I called them. And we have no bread. All very annoying.
