Fuck you, Sky. I had to drop the sprog off at drama, so missed the start of the race. Replay was scheduled for 12. Turned it on, advert break, then a full listing of the result as the race had been delayed. Why didn’t they have a warning for people tuning in for the replay?! ARRGGH!

WTF! I think Alexa updated overnight and I don’t like it. I have a routine to set an alarm when I’m making tea as I have a tendency to walk away and forget, only to find a cup of cold brown tea half an hour later when I want to drink it. This morning, she tried to have a fucking chat.

08:21 al ج < Edit Routine WHEN Anyone says "Alexa, im making tea" Add another event Alexa+ + ALEXA WILL = Q Say "Its time for tea!" "set a "tea" timer for two = minutes Add another action Hear Alexa from Finish O Ask Alexa08:25 < : Today at 8:14 am I'm making tea. O Listen Nice one. Nothing beats a proper brew to start the day. I'm making tea. O Listen Sounds like a solid routine you've got there. How do you take it? No, what's? I have a routine. What the hell, start the timer. • Listen For how long would you like to set the timer? Two minutes. Alicton Q Ask Alexa Two minute timer started.

Dr: “I’m sorry sir but you have pancreatic cancer” Me: *clutching groin* “OH NO!!!” Dr: *shakes head ‘no’* Me: *move my hands to my knee while maintaining eye contact at doctor questioningly* Dr: *making an ‘up up’ gesture with hands* “bupbupbup”

Right. It very much is worth it if you can make it, only 9 days left. Lots of screwy optics stuff and pieces that make you think. Sprog very much enjoyed it and was even prompted to go on a feminist rant.

A big red inflatable blob. A black spot. An odd mirror. A pile of guts.

Has anyone been to the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the Hayward? Is it worth a look? The sprog has an inset day tomorrow, so we're doing one of our London days. The exhibition is only there for another ten days, so this will be our only opportunity. It's £22 a ticket though, which feels a bit steep.

I do this every time and have done for years. The sprog went from enjoying it, to getting angry and punching me, to groaning and rolling her eyes. We're now at the stage where we try and beat each other to it. She also flips the gag when an ice-cream van goes past "Won't catch many criminals..."

The temptation to do the Morecambe and Wise ‘he won’t sell much ice cream going at that speed!’ line every time an emergency vehicle goes past with the siren on.
