  • I’ve experienced exactly the same with my son. He was in hospital for about two weeks but is now absolutely fine.

    Really scary and distressing time, I still get wobbly when thinking about it… but the doctors and nurses will look after him.

    I hope you’re doing okay. At least as okay as you can be. Don’t forget to eat and sleep yourself.






  • House buying is the absolute worst. I hate it so much…

    You have to decide so much, on so little information and time. Hell you can spend longer researching a cheap kitchen appliance than a house.

    Even when it’s all sorted it’s not really… not until you finally have the keys.

    The only way I could be stay sane was shifting my way of thinking… eventually you will find your home and before long you’ll be making memories in it and will absolutely love your house. Every house you missed on was really a good thing in the end as it will lead you to that one house, your proper home.




  • I’m not superstitious at all but out of habit I do tend to (moderately) follow a bunch

    Don’t put new shoes on the table Don’t open umbrellas inside Don’t walk under ladders Don’t walk over 3 drains Don’t pass people on the stairs Throwing salt over my shoulder if I spill some) Pointing out the good luck of being poop on by a bird Greeting/saluting a magpie

    ……

    Oh dear that’s a lot… maybe I am superstitious!






  • I do like all kinds of holidays. Relaxing with a book holidays, city breaks, friend boozy holidays, exhausting family holidays etc

    My ideal holidays though is a nature/wildness focused holiday (but staying somewhere nice… I can enjoy camping but it isn’t “ideal holiday” material). USA National Parks, Canadian Rockies, The Nordics, Safari etc





  • Google is one of the worst offenders, with constant effort to force you to login, sponsored links etc but it isn’t unique to them.

    AI (or human) generated rubbish, optimised for SEO is making it harder and harder to find what you actually want. This isn’t entirely new, there has always been a battle but it does seem like now with the AI push they are winning and we (the users/consumers) are losing.
