Quick spike of adrenaline when I heard a male voice bellowing something incoherent… quickly dissipated when they got closer and I could work out the words to “Go the Distance” from Disney’s Hercules.

Connections Puzzle #843 🟨🟨🟦🟨 🟨🟨🟩🟨 🟦🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟨🟨🟨 Today was a frustrating one.

Have had a somewhat trying weekend taking care of this boy by myself, but he’s just so pretty. I can’t stay grumpy with him for long.

Trying hard to relax and switch my brain off. So snoozy times with this boy, and watching old Australian Survivor Seasons.

The ruthless hunter seizes his prey.

I am missing the human element of the line judges at Wimbledon, but do find it amusing when a point is already over, and the ball goes out and you still hear this really confident shout of “out!”.

People outside tech starting to realize how quality software and typing/generating code fast are not correlated

If you’re the type of person who enjoys googling actors while watching films, you might enjoy this little app that I built: costars.app

In light of my decision to post more, here’s a photo of my beautiful rescue dog.

I think this is an excellent point. I tend not to post about politics because other people say it better, and sometimes it feels a bit pointless adding to the noise and outrage. But then posting silly or cute things feels trite and unfeeling. But I personally enjoy a mix, so I’ll bear that in mind.

Another lovely and inspiring Brighton Ruby! Interesting talks as always. I also enjoyed the minimalist lanyard approach. Very quick and environmentally friendly! #BrightonRuby

The latest Who Do You Think You Are? with Diane Morgan is simultaneously one of the most moving episodes, AND the most hilarious. Love that the editors just let her run with things. It made me cry laughing, and then just cry.

One of the best recipes I’ve ever found. So simple, so tasty! This will revolutionise your salads.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades.

This Recipe Tin Eats cashew chicken recipe came out so much better than I dared hope! I swapped around most of the ingredients but left the sauce as specified. So tasty!

Very happy with how this turned out! Crème fraiche mixed with mustard, followed by a layer of thin courgette. Topped with tomato and asparagus! No pre-cook required.

sometimes I feel like a dinosaur, cause no one looks anything up anymore 🦕

Love this tulip. So different to any I’ve seen before. Reminds me of the Piranha Plant from Super Mario!

I am irrationally upset at the news of WH Smith being taken over and renamed, considering I set foot in one about once a year. But they are consistent and reliable. “TGJones feels like a worthy successor to the WH Smith brand,” a spokesperson said. “Jones carries the same sense of family”. WTAF?!

🎶 Spring is here, sp-ring is herrrrrre! 🎶

After being blown away but hard it by Adolescence, watching School Swap: UK to USA was a beautiful reminder of the good, goofiness, vulnerability, joyfulness, and sense of humour (alongside the cruelty) of teenagers. Highly recommend both. But also - I'm so glad that I'm not one any more!

We’re all so happy to see the sun again, but none more so than our Cypriot boy.

My Bluesky experience so far, summarised in a graph. It doesn't include the crushing realisation that the heading is wrong and should read "Bluesky" not "Blue Sky".
