Just gave an excellent presentation and to finish it I accidentally pressed "leave" rather than "stop sharing" and promptly fell off the call. Oops.

Hahaha brilliant

Hey hey! Thank you so much.

I’m super excited about today as I have plans! I don’t think I’ve had birthday plans since I was about 18. Tonight we’re going to an NT light trail, so I’m super happy about that.

I had some bird feeders from Ma (she asked what I wanted and I asked for two Gaardman bird feeders, so naturally she bought me five) a laptop tray from Darwin, a foiling kit (for adding foil embossed designs to card) from Russell, a sea themed coaster kit and some perfume from my inlaws and some chocolates and bath treats and hand cream treats from the woman who runs the nursery that Darwin used to go to when he was wee.

We’ve been for a walk down the canal, met a cat, and I think we are going to watch a Christmas film in a bit.

TIFU in a hipster microbrewery by asking for "Falifornication" rather than their IPA called "Falifornia".

I've never even watched the show.

The cool kids recovery would've been to refer to Red Hot Chili peppers.

At least you didn't ask for Failifornia and get banned

Could have gone with Maliafornia and really confused them.

Ouch.

You can pretend to have a super-smart watch by taping your contactless card to your wrist.

I had soft boiled eggs and toast for brunch for the first time in about 6 months today.

They were nice.

When I am King, dog leads will have a set length of three feet so some twat can't be on one side of the prom, with his dog on the other four metres away, and a trip wire in between.

I don't mind the thick, orange webbing type ones but some of them are fucking invisible, dicks.

Yes, it weighs a LOT. I can’t even push it across the floor.

My employer is opening a new office in Birmingham city centre. It’s lovely, and a great location, but it’s an hour each way door to door. My old office was 10 minutes away. I might do one day a week or fortnight.
