The more research I do into the Camino the more appealing it is, the idea of just wandering off into the sunset by myself every day for a week

This is the most fun thing I've seen in a while: edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

Always wanted to do it, everyone was like don't do it, no one will respect you and you won't be paid well 15 years in, no one respects me and I'm not paid well

An almost unbelievable story, worth a read for sure www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Who turned the sun on without asking me if I was ok with it?

Need ideas for an easy/quick meal for dinner with a gluten free friend Everything I think of comes back to gluten and so far I have cheese and port in my basket

I think my favourite Traitors trope is there's a psychic, she starts naming people who are not traitors as definitely being traitors, and then the traitors meet for the first time like "yeah, she's wrong but she'll accidentally be right soon so we gotta murder her"

The cattery we put Kaspar in sent us a card apparently, saying how sorry they are and how much they loved him 🥹💔

I keep forgetting we've not had the actual budget yet. I feel like this is the first time I've known so much about something before it's happened.

My phone sometimes randomly makes photo albums or videos for me, got one today that's "in the woods" - cool, I have spent a lot of time and taken a lot of photos in woods. The first one is a random half naked man in the woods and I have no idea who he is or why I have this photo of him on my phone.

Weird thing with migraines where if you leave it too long the drug doesn't work, but I can't always tell if it's a migraine or just a weird headache.. so I take the tablet and if I have a migraine it'll get rid of it, but I pay for it with like, feeling incredibly dopey and like my brain is sparking

Proud to have been a small contributor to this important CNN investigation about police violence in Tanzania (CW: graphic and distressing images) edition.cnn.com/2025/11/21/a...

In a board game café but the air con is on even though it's literally winter

Attention is on NEETs today, but the problem is much worse. NEETs include stay-at-home parents & jobseekers. Strip those out to focus on people not working, not seeking work, not in education & not parenting: this group of economically & socially dislocated young adults has *doubled* in a decade.

West End Girl has radicalised me in unexpected ways...

Guess who booked herself a taxidermy class as a Christmas present 😃

Interesting piece from a colleague on how Britain is trying to follow in Denmark's footsteps when it comes to asylum and immigration rules edition.cnn.com/2025/11/19/e...

How do you handle a non-response from someone you are acquainted with, and trying to get to know better ? Like how much time do you leave it before messaging again? Or do you just assume they aren't interested?

Oh man this is an excellent read

Texas’ latest congressional map — redrawn to give Republicans an advantage in five districts — has been thrown out by a panel of federal judges, who said the plan likely violates the law as a race-based gerrymander.

And?

I've said so many times, in both New York and London, I have an Android because I know I can keep it because *who wants an Android?*

So I just saw Punch, which was excellent and harrowing and I silently cried through the last quarter of the play... But

4° in Stockholm? Charming, expected, whimsical and with the option of glühwein 4° in London? Absolutely tf not.

At the spa today my sister and I were in the sauna lying down minding our own business. A woman came in, held the door open for and yelled back to a friend "it's not warm in here!" Apparently out loud and without missing a beat I said "well it will be if you shut the door"

Got back to London, idly keep thinking Kaspar will pop in and say hi 😢

This is like when I said to my mum I liked a specific owl necklace and for the next ten years everyone gave me owl stuff

Yay science!

…and writes in an *email* in caps DO NOT SHARE THIS INSIGHT …about how inconvenient it is that harassing women is bad for your career …to a convicted sex offender. (Ideal person for a board position - sleazy, stupid and technologically illiterate..)

Once again managed to get to sleep fine but then sleep for just 20 minutes and now I am tired AND angry

An underrated source of joy is having American friends and occasionally introducing them to Britishisms

It should be compulsory for every hotel in the world to have at least one channel showing something like Most Haunted every evening

I am perilously close to Brum

I will never not feel terribly, terribly sad about what happened to Judy Garland. Absolutely barbaric.

Played Dune: Imperium this week and I was a little nervous since the last new game I tried was abysmal, and I don't trust board games based on pop culture... but honestly this game was awesome. I'd play it again but probably not as Paul Atreides, his skills aren't that great tbh.

Doing some thinking around what leadership and management means, do I want to do it, etc so I'm doing research into leadership and this 14 min TED talk on collaborative leadership by Lorna Davis is inspiring :) www.ted.com/talks/lorna_...

Anyone else feeling like they're holding off on certain decisions until the budget? I'm literally just waiting to see in which exact ways I'll be screwed

If only someone could have foreseen that briefing the FT this week that you’re not willing to do the broad based tax rises you briefed everyone last week were going to be necessary to pay the bills might impact the bond market.

Massive move in gilts on open. Looks like giving up almost half the gains from the last month. Terrible

Tonight I witnessed a beautiful thing: two men, unsure how to greet each other. One extends a fist expecting a bump. The other a hand expecting a handshake. The extended hand took the fist and... shook it.

I know I am off-kilter this week because I just welled up at a quote by Timothy Leary "Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…"

Something I think about when it comes to housing affordability is that 8 years ago I rented for £650 which was, at the time, much more than what my friends rented for. I bought in 2018, mortgage was lower. With interest rate changes it's now about £650 again. Friends now pay >£1000 to rent.

Went on a date, wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. As usual, I asked so many questions about him and he asked me, ooh - none At the end he looked at his phone and was like ooh I have to get home and make a dashboard (I wanted out after 20 minutes myself but that is hilarious sorry)

Extremely niche question - has anybody played Dune: Imperium and is it good?

The civil service uses VPNs. I'm pretty confident most government functions use VPNs.

We're tracking flight cancellations and delays across the US as a result of the government shutdown: www.cnn.com/us/flight-de...

If you think that “the slow vanishing of employee benefits” is a better trade politically than “the other lot saying you broke your promise on income tax”, you are out of your tree: www.ft.com/content/1160...

I feel like I have spent so much time, energy and money on trying to sort my sleep out (get to sleep, stay asleep, have good quality and length of sleep) and there are people who just walk through life like "oh I just lie down and go off" like honestly don't talk to me
