Parenting/Aunting/Friending hack: you can teach a toddler to shout “behind” and “corner” like they’re in a professional kitchen when they’re running around you whilst cooking. Genuinely useful and also more amusing than it should be to have a mini Carmy about the place.

Oo. Suspect I may have just improved my Twitter experience by muting the phrase “I’ll start”

Today I found something amazing in a charity shop. 10m of vintage 1983 Laura Ashley fabric for £2.50. When I got home I called mum (I knew she’d appreciate the bargain). Showed her the fabric. She said it looked familiar. Turns out she put it in my baby quilt over 30 years ago.

Ok I’m bad at deciding how this room should work. I think I need something like a remote interior designer who looks at like…interaction design and flow and that and not just aesthetics. Does this exist? Has anyone used a service that does this? I need ideas, I can do the doing.

my toxic trait is that if they opened Jurassic park I would still totally go

Happy intrusive thoughts in the polling booth day!

Give me all your plots of weird thresholds, like this:

Boring tweet but get yourself a mattress from Mattress Online and not John Lewis & Partners. 7 years of a mattress from the former and it’s great, still perfect. 4 years of the latter and it’s like sleeping on a squishy water bed and it’s apparently “normal” wear. Go specialist.

The digital hoarder in me is highly stressed about getting off Twitter but needs must. I’m swiseman on bluesky. See you on the other side.
