  • What movie could this possibly be?

    “But what is the point of a film so stymied in its digitally encoded and generically prescribed world that it can’t even go through the motions, as that would imply some level of activity and signs of life?”

  • Can any UK-based travellers recommend a good European to UK mains converter. I’d like something well-designed rather than an airport blister pack solution.

  • My Apple iOS focus modes are currently switch automatically just as they should. I have learned these are like a ticking time bomb to manage. I should touch nothing at this point!

  • Purely for research purposes before a holiday there, some Swedish beers to try.

  • We have hung onto this suitcase from our extended family so long. It feels wrong to just hand it in to a charity shop but it’s sat empty for so many years.

  • Got my pendant back from repair after the loop at the top snapped off. They have made it more reinforced as it was originally just soldered.

    The stone is a garnet mudlarked from the banks of the Thames.

  • I was going to make a spaghetti with Kale, chillies and anchovies on Friday. I decided to switch it to make a kale pesto with chillies, anchovies, parmesan and mixed nuts. Delighted with the results.

  • After a few days using the new Orea zero bypass coffee brewer I’m declaring it a good choice. I am enjoying the change in flavour from the Rwandan coffee beans I’m currently using.

  • Tonight’s beer was a classic English bitter. It was lovely and the icing on the cake was the typography on the label.

  • Now that SnapSeed has had a major update I have one big problem:

    Swiping right reduces thing and swiping left increases them. That just goes against all my cultural stereotypes.

  • My favourite analog bookmark. Made for me by the Master Animator, daughter no. 1.

  • I changed the ink in my Ultem eyedropper pen to a lovely bright red Sailor ink. It’s a great combination of huge ink capacity and lovely broad King of Pen nib I transplanted into it

  • First impressions of my new Orea Z1 zero bypass coffee brewer were that coffee was richer and sweeter using the same beans.

    It’s a much more deliberate process and maybe not ideal for rushing to work.

  • Yours truly. Waiting for the family to get their delicious toasties on the day the Cheesy Toast Shack ran out of gluten-free bread. Sad times…

  • Curiosity got the better of me an I just ordered a Lamy/Jetream M17 ball pen refill from Japan. Keen to try and thankfully I have only one Lamy ball pen.

  • I have to say Dept Q was fantastic and enhanced by recognising so many locations.

    👍👍👍👍 from this household!

  • My Hardgraft iPhone case never quite fitted the 16 Pro. I didn’t particularly want to switch to their later case that should, but it probably makes sense.
