In the early 2000s the A4 flyover corridor into Hammersmith was particularly well known as being prime billboard territory…at least for convincing Sky and other media heads that their ad money was being spent influentially. (“We must be doing well; our ads are everywhere!”)

We have one which we set up over 20 years ago for something related to our wedding but has persisted for everything from bills to school comms. It’s not another mailbox to check - it forwards to both of our personal emails, and we can both reply “as” it. It makes domestic logistics MUCH easier.

I bought some fig rolls recently and was extremely disappointed by the ratio of fig to pastry(?). All powdery outer roll and the tiniest smear of figgy goodness. Dry as.

Perhaps I should just eat a fig.

No, I mean that was my point. Outside of the pope and the DL, I can’t think of another figurehead of the same global scale.

Dalai Llama? Though probably less for religious reasons than for general well known good person ones.

But now name me another religious leader…. 🤔

In the same vein, Toca Band. (And Incredibox, though that may be a little older)

We were planning a trip to visit sister & family in SF this year but they’re coming here instead. Overall political climate but specifically this doesn’t feel like a safe time to encounter border officials with autistic/adhd teens who can be restless and unpredictable, esp. after a long flight. 🫤
