I'm almost sure it's her below's son. She'll be sending him out, after she sees me leave my flat in the afternoon, to move it. It must bug her so much that she can't wait till about 7pm when I usually move it.

People using the allegedly ultra-hyper-super- convenient 'digital age' phone method of paying on buses only to find the code won't scan properly with me standing behind them with paper/metal stuff called cash
.
In London, it can be entertaining to watch people leap gazelle-like at the ticket barrier on the Tube assuming the system can scan an oyster card in 0.01 microseconds, only to find it can't and then crashing into the closed barrier
. Must hurt.

When clients get all passive-aggressive on me, and think that
A: They are doing something new and rebellious and I haven't dealt with it before;
and
B: It isn't funny.

Years ago, the rebooted kids cartoon Roobarb & Custard was done with oh-so-21st century CGI but they had to put the 'wobbly drawings' effect back in by computer
. Bob Godfrey just did it with felt tip marker pens & a big wad of paper.

The U.S. Constitution prohibits people born outside the United States from becoming President. Elon Musk was born in South Africa.

Tonight I hand washed 5 jumpers/woolens. Totally hand washed mind, not even spinning them. I did them one by one, soaking for 10 minutes then plunging them into the luke warm water then rinsing 4 times. I hand wrung them out as best as I could. There are puddles of water now on my bathroom floor where I've placed them. They'll take a couple of days to dry, but I'm pleased they're done now for another few months. Only another 10 or so to do now.

This was the last carrot left in a local supermarket this evening. Look at the size of it!

I wish now I'd taken a photo of the carrot I bought at Tesco, then chopped up to put in my slow cooker last night. It was thick up to the end, then it had a sort of thin pencil like end. I did a pretend to be writing with it scene at the checkout. The woman on the till looked at me as if to say 'f..k..g weirdo"!

No, my woolens are too delicate to be machine washed.🧐
