Apparently not nerdy enough. Likes a good museum. And long walks.
Ok with spiders.

“If a man comes up to you in the pub trying to sell a snowman at an unrealistically low price, the number to dial is nine hundred and ninety-nine”
Astonishing moment snowman stolen from outside Stoke-on-Trent pub
The pub had this message for the 'person who nicked the snowman' - and the responses are hilarious

I know it can be a bit cringey when people put their children on social media but I decided to change my banner and include my seven youngest in it. They've had a fucking rough year, and it was touch and go for a while back the start, and I'm proud they've made it through it.

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

we’ve done the darkest three weeks of the year now
Happy to let you know that in the northern hemisphere we’ve now done the darkest two weeks in the year. All the other 50 weeks will be lighter than this.
