THREAD: on omicron, UK cases, London & what to do next... Last post-briefing tweet thread of the year! 1/18

Enjoying the simplicity of ordering postage online and arranging a 'from home' collection too. Think this might encourage more selling of the 'stuff' around me as part of the New Year clear out.

Well that was satisfying Wordle 214 3/6 ⬛⬛🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟨⬛🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Knew my weekly shop had increased but hadn't appreciated how much of that was 'essentials' and not just too many choc biscuits and fancy coffee. Feel for those who are struggling and will add to the foodbank collections more frequently.

Loving the drone shots on #skisunday today - really shows the speed and skill of these downhillers

Looks like Spotify and Discord are down. Collateral damage from the cyber element of the Russia/Ukraine conflict?

Can't help but be impressed every time SpaceX land their boosters back on the floating platforms. Bloody incredible.

Loving Friction new album After Dark - some absolute bangers on it.

Fantastic service from HIPPO HIPPO - super friendly and helpful driver - picked up and gone in minutes. Recommended if you need to get rid of bits and pieces but a full metal skip is overkill.

Loving all the security cam footage of #c8ff042

All A roads and motorways in Great Britain, in order, for today's #30DayMapChallenge remix finale 🎶 My favourite (but also nemesis) is the A9 but I'm also quite fond of the A66, A82, and the A858, if we're sharing our deepest secrets - yeah the A830 isn't too bad either!
