Restaurant. Bill had donation to an unnamed charity. I objected. Why doesn't the restaurant give instead and no info re what it was. I give to several charities of my choosing. He removed it and laughed saying it was an omen as it came to £66.66. The number of the beast.
About to have flu jab. Tempted to ask whether it protects against the plague and see what they say.
Charles Dickens witnessed a public execution in 1849. He wrote a scathing letter to 'The Times' calling for the end to such a practice. 200 years later and here we are again. Public executions, fear mongering about immigrants, and (basically) poor laws. Go read Bleak House and get some compassion.
Never watched Traitors before but am enjoying Celebrity Traitors, especially Richard E Grant. I wouldn't want to get stuck in a lift with James Blunt though.
Nearly got hit by this falling branch. Take care out there kids.
Woman at café to her barking dog: "Oh be patient! I have to order it first and then you can have some!" She then orders a flat white and bakewell tart.
Red sky in morning Not seen a shepherd giving out warnings so might be ok..
Train guard left this open. Tempted to pick up phone, press the red button, and make an announcement over the pa: "Ladies and gentlemen. This train will not be stopping until the government agrees our demand of free Cadbury cream eggs for everyone on this train".
Manchester Oxford Street. The platform display white lights are so bright, they could cure SAD.
Heard a mum say to her son on train. "Do you want a Gregg's or Chinese?" It's 1918. I have questions: Do Gregg's stay open this late? Do they do something that could amount to a meal like Chinese?
On a train. So tired and forgetful that I put my phone alarm on for 4 minutes before I arrive at station, to remind me to get my bag from the rack.
Fuck me, he's still not dead. It's almost like prayer doesn't work.
On my way to a job interview, smartly leaving the iced coffee at home
The house Mackintosh designed in Helensburgh. Being renovated so can actually walk over the roof! Love Mackintosh design.
