I'm sleeping on the sofabed because @wheatles.bsky.social has COVID and is isolating in the bedroom.

The sofabed doesn't have any sheets. It doesn't have any sheets because last week I made them into a pirate shirt.

My favourite thing about going to a super rich person's house is when they casually mention a bunch of jobs you didn't know existed. 'Please excuse the mess, my garden DJ is getting set up for the yoga recital later.'

Lots of happy (and tired) people in red milling about on the street. The lady in the coffee shop hadn't heard the results yet.

Would it mean I could get one of those plush think-tank jobs?

Rule I just invented: if you have ADHD and a big task you can't get done. Roll a twenty sided dice. The number you get is how much work you're going to get done on it today. 1 being almost nothing, but you have to try. And with 20 being HYPER FOCUS ENGAGE. Try it! (Averaging 10 will smash it)

I know some people are going through some stuff, but I had welder training today and as part of that we had to cut things with an angle grinder. So many sparks! And it smelled of my childhood - my dad built farm machinery and motorbikes.

The real danger of polygamy is it destroys the 'love triangle' as a plot device.

Lambeth council planning denied permission for us to insulate the BACK of our brick house (where no one could see it) which would have allowed us to install a heatpump/cooling system. Not in keeping with the area apparently.

Man the makers of Stonehenge would be so fucking stoked that it's the centre of attention AND it has incredible ORANGE colour put on it. Come on, they'd be sluts for a pigment that vibrant.

We are lucky fruits don't have rights. Because if they did, Oranges would launch a class action against the makers of orange juice for defamation of character.

Obviously pre-crime is a nonsense subject BUT if there is a kid at the Softplay and you can't work out who their parent/carer is that kid will try and shank the other kids.

INTERIOR DESIGNER: So, as you can see, I've maximized storage by installing these floor-to-ceiling hexagonal shelving units in every room. They're super-cute and made entirely of organic materials. HOMEOWNER: ... are you a bee? INTERIOR DESIGNER: *vomits honey on the rug* Why do you ask?

for now, the only good uses for voice recognition are searching for things on the TV and telling your car what to do. in the future though once computers can experience emotions like fear it will be useful for saying "If you ask if I want to upgrade to windows 11 again I will kill you"

Who really wins at musical chairs? It's not the person alone on a chair. Ask who controls the music. Why did we give them such power? Should they keep it?

Pitching @wheatles.bsky.social pretty hard on the concept of a weekend in New York as a 'thank you'. I mean I'm not sure us turning up, over excited is much of a gift but all the same. I want to show support.

TIL that Thai slang alternative to "Netflix and chill" is "see the cat at my apartment" and I would 100% fall for this and be disappointed.

Still regularly think about that girl I saw on TikTok who googled her town’s police minimum fitness requirements and trained to be 10% better on each marker, so when she next got into an altercation was easily able to outrun them.

I have this thing when I am out running. If I see a man on his own, not listening to music, I compliment him on his outfit and run on. When they realise I'm not being sarcastic, they are so pleased! Note: I am tall but I am not threatening.

What are your homemade superstitions? Mine are: When you are going through a mega stressful thing (like moving house), buy a lottery ticket When you get promoted, or a new job, get a nice thing for yourself. Like a coat. Something physical to remind you of a good day. What do you have?

Just before the pandemic a black cab ran a red light and killed my motorbike. I was fine! But it was done. The cabbie admitted total fault etc. Anyway. The attic clear out reminded me I had the panniers still and I just gave them away to a thrilled guy. Motorcyclists are good eggs.

People with ADHD shouldn't be given access to ample storage. I just found a broken wash basket that has been in the attic for at least five years. No clue why I stashed it, it's not beautiful, or repairable?

Going for a run cheers me up for days and typically helps me with work. Like I can usually solve some issue by the time I am half way around. Still hate it though.
