We went to a retro-arcade today in Bury. It was ace, but I now have pins and needles in my fingers.

Winter isn’t going anywhere. ❄️

A snowy landscape features a small brook, and bare trees, under a pale winter sky.

Currently listening to The Dead of Winter on BBC Sounds. It’s making me want to go and read the full book. 📚

Sleep with dogs and you’ll get bitten.

A news tweet from BBC Breaking News reports Elon Musk's opinion on Nigel Farage and Reform UK needing a new leader.

As a kid, our first teletext TV came from Littler’s 🎯#darts

A sign for "Littler's TV" advertises TV repair, rental packages, and sales and service, along with a contact number.

It’s still Christmas somewhere.

A bottle of Christmas Day Ale is positioned in front of a festive ale gift box containing two other bottles labeled Boxing Day Ale and New Year's Eve Ale.

Happy ‘Back to Work’ day to all who celebrate.

#

If Man Utd keep this under three in the first half, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

#

Happy Christmas everyone. The turkey is in the oven, repeat, the turkey is in the oven.

Watched A Charlie Brown Christmas earlier. Something about a melancholy child with early hair loss speaks to me, for some reason…

#

Ears are now syringed and hearing has returned. Though it has returned with everything sounding ‘tinny’.

This is like a modern Argos catalogue for 80s kids.

#

Political pundits talking about how the Dems got their strategy or messaging wrong are missing the point. Voters looked at both candidates and chose the racist, rapist, felon. Nothing the Dems did would counter that.

#

Lots of leopards are going to get their faces eaten over the next four years I fear. 🇺🇸

#

The Chancellor kept repeating she had kept to her manifesto promises. I’m disappointed that at no point did she say ‘I like your manifesto, put it to the test-o’

#

It’s the cars and booze budget.

Up close, my lava lamp looks like an alien landscape.

A mysterious and abstract scene features a sandy landscape with a shaft of light casting unique shapes.&10;(Really a close up shot of a lava lamp.)

I missed out last time, so very happy to have seen the Northern Lights this evening.

The Northern Lights are visible in the night sky above silhouettes of houses and trees.
