Not having luggage racks for large luggage is a real deficit on Chiltern Railways… post Xmas travel is chaotic.

People experiencing homelessness were given £2,000 with no conditions through the Personal Grants Project. Early findings show the money went on rent deposits, furniture, courses and childcare. We’re proud to be funding this UK-first trial with CHI.

People listening to music without headphones on public transport… do they actively enjoy everyone thinking they’re the worst?

I started watching Lazarus - Harlen Coben. You can immediately tell despite the British setting that this is an American writer. Because there’s a girl character called Sutton. Sutton? What.

Gutted to find no more Boxing Day toasties in Pret. I only managed to eat 2 this year. I wish they had them year round.

I visited Liverpool and noticed all of their pedestrian crossings are the ones with the green man low down and not visible except if you’re standing in front of it. I don’t understand this design at all, as a pedestrian. Why design the green man to be barely visible - you can’t see if it’s safe..?

Something floated down and burnt me on the chin. It really bloody hurts! Presumably firework related. Ouch.

Oh my god it drives me disproportionately furious that nutritional info for dry ingredients like lentils and pasta is given in the cooked weight. No Sainsbury’s, I am not going to boil some lentils and only then weigh out a portion FFS. Think!

Very much wishing I’d gone and got a booster vaccine… remember that Covid is horrible and even a “mild” infection can wipe you out and lasts for ages. I wish I’d protected myself more.

Why is it when banking is all automated and digital that we have to pretend that transactions can’t process evenings and weekends..? There’s no human involved here.

Why is everything on 5 mins late on the BBC tonight? It’s so discombobulating. Like the people that set their meetings to start 5 mins late or end 5 mins early, confusing absolutely everyone. Did the 10 o’clock news people decide they needed a 5 min loo break before the main event?

Lisbon airport delivered such a terrifyingly awful experience I think it’ll put me off visiting the city again.

I’m totally pro pedestrianising Oxford St — makes complete sense. But what’s going on there today… well I hope that won’t be repeated. With the rd closed, you’d think more room to move around. Nope. Large barriers everywhere make it still extremely narrow and bottle necked. And oh my god so LOUD.

Hate it when Eastenders is not on iPlayer - requiring it to be viewed at an inconvenient time isn’t a special treat 🤷🏻♀️

Why are people selfish numpties because of their phones? No headphones on public transport… staring fixedly at phone while walking along and looking expecting other people to get out of their way. It happens so much… I think the majority of people are staring at their phone while walking… stop it.

Still being emailed by @royalparkshalf.bsky.social suggesting I run for charity. I’d love to participate - but not for charity. I don’t expect friends and colleagues to subsidise my hobby. Fact that there’s still charity places suggests balance is wrong on pay to run v charity places.
