Pedantic love of arcane rules, dressing up, and esoteric bits of technology.
Turns out I’ve been autistic the entire time.

There are two active pickpockets at the foot of the escalators at Bond St station, watch your stuff more than usual. I saw them mark me so evaded (and pissed them off) but lots of partygoers and shoppers out. Grim.

Ultrasound appointment this morning. It’s probably just scar tissue from my radiotherapy which is more obvious now that I’ve lost a bunch of weight, but I do have a definite neck lump.

You young folks won’t remember neck lumps, but they were big in the 70s. Billy Connolly did a bit about them.

Weird anxiety today. It feels as if I’m in trouble for something, but I haven’t been told what.

Can I put a clause in my will that bans anyone from doing this to me?

Yesterday, in one of the russian bomber aviation regiments, the ejection system of an aircraft parked in a shelter was accidentally triggered

The pilot and navigator were catapulted straight into the roof and sustained injuries incompatible with life -Russian propaganda bloggers.

Eurgh. The tube on a December weekend is horrendous.

I did not have, “Every morning, I will speak to my invisible robot butler and it will open the curtains and tell me the weather forecast.”, on my predictive bingo card.

“What do you actually do?”

This is, in fact, a trick question. Nobody really knows.
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
