Concerned coworker waited for me to leave the cubicle to tell me a weak stream could be a sign of health issues. Was actually emptying out a couple of old, mouldy Capri Suns in the toilet.

it turns out that putney bridge waterstones unexpectedly did us a solid. at half 5 we got an enormous delivery of seed corn - in the midst of unpacking the bags, twenty or thirty crows sauntered through the front door and began eyeing things up. but when they saw the scarecrows they hopped it pronto

has gone from bad to worse. all of these have arrived in the last 15 mins. finally got through to someone at waterstones putney bridge who pleaded complete ignorance of any scarecrow competition (but pretty sure i could hear the other booksellers giggling in the background)

I keep getting marketing emails offering me clothes ‘For total ski glamour’ or ‘your next red carpet event!!!’ and I’m so entranced by the persona they have invented for me that I don’t have the heart to delete them.

so rude that we named the fruit bat after the food it likes. imagine if a zoologist came up to you and said "wow what a fascinating example of the Doritos Cool Original Human"

Have there been any truly great recent innovations in the field of beige foods and picky bits? I love bao buns, I do not love bao buns that I have to microwave myself. I tried ‘sesame duck toast’ and to that I say ABSOLUTELY NOT. Could they do more with halloumi?
