Watching old Quatermass movies (Big Man Q is a prick) and the subs on this thing are bonkers

Somehow got it in my head that there was a thriving secret C64 musician community somewhere, but failed to find it

But I DID find a monthly hour-long radio podcast thing that's still going with some modern bangers on it

My mum bought me two airfix model kits, which I've never shown an interest in before

So I've countered that by buying myself a beginner crochet kit, wish I also have no interest in 🤔

My bus driver has been driving his route all morning giving everyone free trips because the ticket machine is broken

Merry Xmas!

Back in specsavers for a proper eye test, first appointment of the day and beat most of the staff here

I've been working from home for so long that I'd forgotten what 'good morning' sounded like

I've reached that point in my time off where I wake up at 9pm and think constantly about making cheese & ham toasties

And then clockwatch until 6am so I can run to the shops

Trying to get a pizza grease stain off a hoodie with washing up liquid, like a normal person

Another suggestion was "your granny swears by ironing over it, with parcel wrapping brown paper inbetween"

Sadly it's xmas, so Tescos only had fancy paper

Also you can get it a few quid cheaper if you already own Still Wakes The Deep, not sure how that works, but I'll take it

Testing the waters with something a little different: a sci-fi decal/vector pack. Not sure if there's interest in this sort of thing, but they're fun to make. Got ideas for other packs and more pay what you want stuff in the pipeline.

I can't describe just how much I *zooms in* hate *zooms out* the new dynamic zoom trend in talky videos

It's like adding three exclamation marks at the end of your boring sentence that no-one cares about!!!
