Spent a chunk of this morning re-wiring my youngest kids brain by showing him Michel Gondry music videos

One of those creepy AI camera toilets but just for reminding you that you had beetroot earlier and not to worry

SECRET BIKE PROJECT FINISHED. Based on a design I saw in Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook.

Lots of chat about prostate screening at the mo. Just want to put it out there that when I had an infection in my prostate last year, the mechanism to check if it was cancer was the most efficient and reassuring NHS process I’ve ever been involved in.

After almost a month of courier shenanigans I finally have the final component of SECRET GARAGE PROJECT

Went to get my flu jab today so I wore new socks to make me feel brave.

New cycle lanes are not for people who currently cycle. They are for people who drive because it’s too dangerous to cycle.

This is like shimano and SRAMs MTB cassettes

6:30 is the best time on a clock hands down

As usual, Rosie picks apart this issue well. Home deliveries aren't necessarily a problem but currently the depot-to-door part of the journey has its incentive structure all wrong.

‘What a prime spot’ I said as we arrived at the fireworks. At least the tree looked good

This Will Destroy You are fucking great. Pass it on. youtu.be/3J2_8fQVShI?...

Unless there's an unbreakably valid safety reason why not, all button-operated pedestrian crossings should activate the lights in pedestrians' favour instantly when pressed.

Nice example here of something ad-based websites are rarely able to do: an article with the core message of 'don't buy more stuff'.

I was fortunate to be called to speak at today's special meeting of the Full Council to discuss the UK Government proposals to use Cameron Barracks to accommodate Asylum Seekers. You can read the agenda and papers here: www.highland.gov.uk/.../mee.../5... Here is the text of my speech:

Today is the greatest Day I’ve ever known

I like how you can use emojis to zoom in on a pig 🐖 🐷 🐽

An unexpected bonus of living on a street with mostly retired folks is that we now have enough sweets to give diabetes to a horse.

Riding a bike is the closest most of us get to feel like flying. Pass it on.

More of this please

What’s wrong babe? You’ve hardly touched your Gregg’s Benedict.

Agree hard. Some of the best crafted books I’ve read in recent years have been ‘kids comics’.

I love it when there's advances in chemistry that involve stuff you learn about in high school.

Think I might go and look at Loch Ness tomorrow as a littlr treat

Autumn school holidays are good

Made a Halloween costume with one of my kids and we’re pretty pleased with it

The question I'm asking myself is whether my next DIY project will be fixing the shed roof (hard, don't know how to do it, probably important) or my secret garage project (much easier, completely unnecessary)
