Beautiful illustration of where people are concentrated.

If you squint, you can see Australia and New Zealand.

Another nail in my twitter coffin. My account has been locked for selling counterfeit goods... for a tweet mentioning no goods, linking a tweet mentioning no goods (from an "official" account no less)

Still a thrill to hear the windblown cry of red kites outside my window

Sigh, feeling social media fatigue in general.

All the twitter drama. Trying to reconnect with people on Mastodon (I have 745 fewer followers here, though I appreciate all 12 of you). The inevitable mismatch in content meaning people get even-more-partial views of your thoughts or feelings about a given topic, breeding misunderstanding and snarkiness.

I've made some wonderful connections via social media but maybe that's coming to an end now? Maybe I slide into a long slow digital hermitage and give up the societies I belonged to?

Maybe I just need to go to bed.

This is a cover of a track by Ásgeir, from an album which totally covers his first record. There is something about that first held note in the chorus (not present in the original) which I just LOVE.

This one still catches me out too. Though when I self-correct I'm often chastised by ladies in my team, one of whom is adamant language evolves and should be allowed to evolve.

Still, this always springs to mind youtu.be/Im3Zj9ZBsyU

In honour of my firstborn's birthday, the Ágætis byrjun angel baby feels appropriate attire

Happy 11th birthday Torben! 11 years ago you arrived and changed my life forever. I love being your daddy! You are funny, creative and passionate. We love your animations and films, and what an amazing big brother you are to Skye and Annika! Thanks for being an absolute legend - happy birthday dude! 🎂💖

Today was hard to categorise.


Great that England won by a 4 goals, scoring 6.
Bad that we let in 2, and lost a seemingly typical England-form Maguire.

Great that Wales got a point.
Bad that they didn't show up until the second half.

All told I'm definitely feeling the magic in spite of the bullshit corrupt sportswashing Qatari nightmare.

Tomorrow is my son's 11th birthday. How did that happen? I'm delighted to get to share my life with such an incredible lad.

Christmas presents started to arrive today, ordered online as you do. The annual reverse hide and seek begins here...

Falling asleep to Get Back, probably my 10th run-through since it arrived a year ago. There's something so pleasantly ambient about it, it is a very easy watch. It's a pity similar recordings of other Beatles album sessions don't exist.

And yes. Yoga. I'm gonna go back to yoga. That's a plan now.

@cliffchapman It looks interesting, but does it have a web version? I can't find an obvious one...
