Soooo many good suggestions, thanks all. I feel a spreadsheet in my future...

Started a weekly board game evening with boy (9) recently and am on the lookout for more games. Hits so far have been Pandemic and Ticket to Ride. Any other good ideas?

Know anyone in Bristol that wants to see The Wedding Present on the 3rd October? I've just put up 4 tickets at a discount as we can't go now. Shares appreciated 🙏 secure.ticketmaster.co.uk/rs/3E0061664...

Trying to work out what my 2 year old is saying ( 'arry? away? are we?) and my 9-year old chimes in with "it's like playing charades with a dog!"

Bit late to the party, but really enjoyed Thunderbolts*

Seeing a load of bits across platforms for ODcamp. Very sad not to be there this year.

On the topic of events - @debblanch44.bsky.social @visitmy.website and I are looking for a venue for the next Product for the People meetup - somewhere in the North East (maybe Newcastle) in late November. Any leads gratefully received!

Match of the day should be retitled VAR of the day

What sweet hell is this

I find it constantly weird that the phrase "I'm on the side of not being a prick" makes all (ok, both) sides of the debate agree on what they think my beliefs are.

The nice and unexpected thing about living in France now (at least as far as my IP is concerned) is I now get Franch speaking adverts. These are much easier to recognise and therefore skip.

Get in!!!

Looks like I now live in France....

I hate having to use Figma so wish this was more common

Worst penalty shoot out, who gives a fuck Worst penalty shootout, who gives a fuck

Plant a wildflower meadow they said. Good for the wildlife they said. Yeah now I've got crickets all over my God damn house and they are LOUD

Even when it works for you. I fucking hate VAR

It's weird to think some people have chosen to watch football, but not Lionesses Vs Wales. I do not trust these people.

Six weeks later. That was some good Jamon

Anyone else find images impossible to crop on Blue sky (android). Top of the screen doesn't work due to android menu and bottom is covered by bluesky options. Seems basically impossible to make image smaller vertically.

You just made the list

Those hair clippers are looking awful tempting...

Ordered a pizza which said a list of toppings Pizza comes out with additional toppings. Kill me

Aaaaaaallllll of this

I will take a draw. Great moment for Wales almost ruined by VAR

What a quandary. France Vs Wales Can't support Wales Don't want France to win 😬

Started the day having to interact with Jira. Send help

Wish there was a universal setting to NOT allow links to open in apps. I always want it to open in browser. Always!

Things that are better than oasis, a non-exhaustive list (thread)

Not sure why you need to login to use the gov.uk app.

The Busta set was; Fun: he seemed to be having a good time Sad: a second vocal finishing his lines made it all a bit 🤷‍♀️ Maybe was better in the full set than the highlights though

Literally the only band at Glastonbury I would pay to see

Love a bit of Biffy Clyro

First time taking both kids out for the day solo today. Wish me luck

Tough to see ONS going through a rough time. Although it is nice that the website isn't getting the blame for every organisational problem these days...

So gov.uk is now blue Meh

How do you explain job options to your kids when fuck knows how I got to where I am or even what it is I do. I know I am good at it, but beyond that 🤷‍♂️

Got to feel useful and good at the job today. Not sure what that is but totally happy to take the win

It's time to start looking for work. It's always hard to describe what I do and the type of thing/s I am looking for so I spent some proper time thinking about it, writing it down and getting feedback on it. blog.annkempster.com/available-fo... Have a read, get in touch.

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone. #unboundless

Not a bad finish to my first time trying it 🪓
