@jussipekonen Love her books.
Watching a tv programme with actual adverts. There's one for Pandora which opens with a woman singing "there's a light…" Unfortunately for them, my brain immediately fills in "over at the Frankenstein place".
@matigo I remember that phase well! Luckily I was able to part ways with my employer. 5 years ago at the end of this month!

@matigo You also work full-time+. I don’t - I just walk the dog, play for choirs & church services and generally mess around with music. Plenty of time to indulge my reading habit.

@jussipekonen Well you see, that is impressive. I can only read books in English. I used to be ok with French, but I think I’d struggle now.
I have at least 6 non-fiction books on the go, but I find them hard going at times. Fiction I can finish in a day/overnight.

@matigo I've already read 29 - but then I have plenty of spare time. I aim to get through at least 52 over a year

I'm not sure I like this new Homepod temperature feature…
Still, the aircon has brought the temp down from 30° to this, so I might pop it on a while longer - so noisy though.
@phoneboy Ah. I tried cider vinegar once (but with garlic - it wasn't good), but I never thought of making it into tea. 🤔 I do have local honey, but with not eating much bread, I find it difficult to use up.
@phoneboy What’s in the tea? I’m up for trying natural remedies.
My cat used to be a veritable trip hazard. And now I have a dog (with similar colouring, as it happens), who does pretty much the same.
@matigo Oh so do I. It’s always that, plus “lone actor”. Fair enough, not an organised terror attack, but calling these “isolated incidents” allows the authorities to continue to ignore the elephant in the room. The narrative is completely skewed. Pro-Palestine marchers - fine, freedom of speech. British marchers asking for their values to be upheld - far-right xenophobic fascists. I’m not saying they are blameless innocents, but far right they aren’t.
