Taken at our temporary place of residence in Prague. Had to post because the third sign is so cute 😀
On the train to York, and after so many years I heard the familiar "thank you, 'duck'". 🥹 (it’s a Nottingham thing - though I’m not sure if it’s exclusively so).
This has always been, and still is, my point of reference when I know I’m approaching the city where I was born: Nottingham.
Brought home with me from an art kiosk in London; credit goes to artist, Dzidzia Wilk. An emphatic and mildly extreme message, serving as a reminder for the absolute shitstorm happening across British politics. Absolutely appalled.
So Apple has introduced the start of a new era with VisionPro - augmented reality. Not only was I half shocked (since this was to be expected at some point) and thrilled, simultaneously I found it scary to think that over 20 years ago I was content with a Nokia 3310…
Completed this 1000-piece puzzle in just four days, since time was of the essence where I’m staying. Would’ve loved a puzzle with a more rural, outstretched landscape, but proud of this one because of how difficult it was. Had volunteers help me complete it on time - grateful.
Stefan and Dan sat down this week to do something a little different; explore how neurodivergence can affect academic life and studying habits. Tune in for a lot of helpful tips to get past anxiety, focus issues, and other stressors you may face! studyingpixels.com/tips-for-neuro…
Loving the wordplay in Nino Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch: fought a mouse called Hickory Dock (referencing a nursery rhyme), and opened a cauldron using the secret words: Open Says-A-Me 😁. My favourite: a spider called Muffet in the Undertale game.
Goodness: short of 190 hours later, I finished Dragon Quest XIs. And cried. Video games can be just as emotionally involving as any other media form. And that soundtrack gave me goosebumps many times. I’m so grateful to this game.
A tweet after my own heart. As an observer, I take in much, but my verbal output is little. Because thoughts are so powerful that they can only be expressed so densely sometimes. That's a skill within writing and art that I very much admire.

Gucci brings the garden to you, with this #frockingFabulous floral number from 1982. #fashionhistory via the Fashion Museum, Bath.
Inspiring landscape colours from Hogwarts Legacy.
I discovered my Patronus is a Great Grey Owl. @wizardingworld Somehow I’m very pleased with this.
I’ve become inspired by New Nature Writing (or whichever term is most appropriate), and so I captured this on my walk. Unspectacular, one might say, though my focus is on wall and forest; a barrier. Enclosure and separation, from which I felt a pang of strange sadness.
Incredibly evocative - I’m inspired.
Incredibly evocative - I’m inspired.
Strange; the other night, I dreamt that I was battling a sabre-toothed tiger in Dragon Quest XIs, a game I've started playing for the first time. Lo and behold, I've just been confronted with one in the game!
This cat has made my year. I’m not the biggest cat fan, but big salute for the resonance. I couldn’t pull off ”goblin mode” very well, but damn, it looks satisfying here.

I didn’t know that "soccer" was invented by…the English 😯 blog.duolingo.com/soccer-vs-foot…
On the subject of 'bat' of what used to be 'Flitter mouse'. I had to repeat this because etymology is cool!

Here you go, some more non-existent 'measures' that you can pretend to 'drop': X 367-day years X Soft rock tax X Single-use roads X Municipal electron colliders X Mandatory lymph extraction for the over-30s
We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people. We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050.
This is quite possibly the most vacuous, useless, and cowardly speech from a UK Prime Minister I have heard in my entire life
32 years since I was here last. The relative difference between Poland’s EU prosperity and the UK’s recent Tory Brexit decline is very striking
First day in my new job was great 🥰 I think I’m going to be happy there! Here is my “first day of school standing by the front door” photo. I had about 4 hours sleep in total and it’s absolutely not obvious at all 🙃✨
Running a little old hardware shop is a strange experiences some days. Alongside the nails and screws and getting customers to draw the thing they want because they don't know what it's called, people talk to you. You hear all sorts of things; ailments, families, 1/7
She's practically bouncing around the house with joy! She's 49 😃
My wife has bought herself a pair of rocket dog shoes from the big river online shop because they were 74% off and I don't believe I've ever seen her so happy 😂
A brilliant, much needed move. Clean air should be a right, not a privilege.
TODAY: in a move that will see five million more Londoners breathe cleaner air, the ULEZ has expanded to cover all of London. This was a difficult decision - but it's the right one to save lives. #ULEZExpansion #CleanAir

Talking about freedom, sat in Margaret Thatcher’s old Rover. Earlier I spoke to @Telegraph about how important cars are for families to live their lives. It’s something anti-motorist Labour just don’t seem to get. And it’s why I’m reviewing anti-car schemes across the country.
