I have never had so many dragons and Welsh presents as this year. Also nice things to eat/drink. There is considerable cross over between those categories.

So #pablosath puzzle is out. Apparently my brain needed to wake me up to look at it. Really wish they could release it in the day time.

Waiting at a railway station. They've started playing the delay repay announcement. That's really not a good sign. #chilternrailways

So... I want to put the Life of Brian screenplay book onto my Christmas list.
I search for "Life of Brian Screenplay" and am offered several screens of links where I can download a pdf for free.
No, I want a link (preferably not Amazon) to buy a physical copy!

If I ever build my own house, I'm fitting it with Jefferies tubes for access to services.
I'm also fed up with rooms with an insufficient number of sockets, and pipes that spring a leak in hard to reach places.

I am very lucky to get #worldmentalhealthday as a holiday. Today is a day for good things. If you can, take time to be good to yourself. You deserve it.

Just discovered our nearest 'late' collection postbox collects at 7am on a Saturday. Which is the same time as the non-late ones.
Looks like I had better go for a long walk today (some lates are later than others).

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop?

I just sent an enquiry to Companies House (in English). The automated reply was bilingual English and Welsh (nice). But the Welsh version contained a warning that they receive a lot of emails and are working hard to reply - which the English version did not have!

#cropredy festival is about to be upon us. But in a household where we've all been unwell it feels like more of a struggle to get ready than usual.

Get yourself a coffee fairy. Leave some chocolate coated coffee beans on your doorstep to advertise the vacancy. Put a cat bed in the pantry. If you have actual cats don’t worry, a cat only tries to eat a fairy once, and usually survives.
