Jordan - Who Is Lovely - just went out of his way to come over to my desk to tell me about his lunch

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

This is a photo of a note: specifically a to-do list
Number one on the to-do list is to write a to-do list.

I'm on a standing-room only train (there's a broken track).

I'm standing and the woman in the seat next to me says - quite loudly - "I can't believe you're drinking wine on the the train".

I say nothing. The Asian guy on the other side of the aisle lowers his table for my glass

Maybe... They're bulking/building?

But I don't understand gym-think

The High Life sitcom did a Eurovision episode titled Dug which featured the song Piff Paff Poff. Sweden, you were so close.

Stumbled past Rupey Bear and Jordan - who is lovely - in conversation and honestly, what I wouldn't do to be part of that sammidge

Well, I managed to not entirely embarrass myself

I'm only going to show actually how bad gays are at playing with balls

Excitingly I am off to play 5-a-side football for the first time in years for my company.

I know - a gay who does football.

Groundbreaking.

We've had a trans lass start at work. As part of my role as chair of our LGBT+ network, her boss reached out to ensure she felt as welcome as possible and we worked really closely together; only for HR to deadname her in the all-staff email that goes out weekly 😔

So, the PNB (Potential New Boyfriend) demolished an entire tub of Ben and Jerry's last night but framed it to make it look like my giraffe had

I have, yet again, spent my Sunday washing sperm out of my chest hair and poo off my penis

Things I have learnt today: it is no longer shorts and a thin, linen shirt weather.

My new direct report - who is getting married to a lady in a few weeks - spends a lot of time looking at my lips, as though he wants to kiss them

Of course it starts raining as I leave the office to walk home

Where on earth has meeting room etiquette gone? I had to literally barge people out of the meeting room I had booked because I was already 3 minutes late because I politely waited outside for them to leave

When did "regulate the service" become "to even out the intervals between trains" on the tube? I still miss "inclement weather"

Unfortunately I had to go for drinks after work because Rupey Bear, Barny the Beautiful and Juicy Jordan were going for drinks after work. Juicy Jordan looks at me quite intensely and also fiddles with his willy quite a bit

Anyway, pleased to confirm Jo Martin (Renegade Doctor) is as adorable and funny as you could expect, and that Jacqueline King (Sylvia Nobel) is beyond lovely (she gave me the best hug when I was struggling with the crowds)

I am stood with my friend Brian and Jo Martin at a Doctor Who convention
