Amazing!

My Instagram feed is almost all Star Trek, cats, queer stuff and rugby. So much rugby. I’ve put in a lot of time and effort crafting this algorithm.

Don Henley just on “One-Hit Wonders at the BBC” miming to “The Boys of Summer”. One day many years ago, we came home from school to find my mum, on a rare day off, listening to the 12” of this song on repeat but at 33rpm instead of 45. Best song she’d ever heard, she said.

Min svenska farmor var inte särskilt liberal, men hon tyckte om ”de homosexuella, för de är alltid så snälla mot gamla tanter”

Hegseth talking absolute nonsense. “We are warriors”. Delusional and dangerous.

Going for a nap at 7pm wasn’t my best idea, except that I’m going to have breakfast now instead of dinner.

Always find a silver lining!

Me too. I’m such a fool.

It was better ten minutes ago…

On the train back. So far we’ve stopped at the first station on the way so 🤞🏼

They just announced a station we’re not stopping at as “this is Bache. Take care when stepping from the train”

Nobody else seems perturbed so maybe they were all listening or they’re all just cool. I like a train journey so I don’t really mind either. Got to go past the house I grew up in from 2-10 years.

On a local train to visit my Mum and somehow missed the announcement that the train from Birkenhead was now an express to Chester without stopping in between (this does not normally happen). Looks like I’ll be visiting Chester briefly before getting a train back…

I would like to read/see some interviews with former #totp dancers.

“What was your job when you were young, grandma?”
“I performed hastily choreographed and barely rehearsed dance routines to popular hits of the day on Top of the Pops” #totp

New favourite song. Absolutely the best tune I’ve heard in ages. Feast your eyes & ears!

A still from the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Threshold” which premiered thirty years ago on 29 January 1996. The image shows Lieutenant Tom Paris mid-metamorphosis in Sickbay wearing blue patient pyjamas

A couple of days late, I’m celebrating #ThresholdDay. This year is the 30th anniversary, I don’t understand why such a monumental day isn’t a holiday around the globe.

As I saw every time, I want some of those Voyager sickbay pyjamas.

Maybe you should try ep 4!

#StarFleetAcademy is really very good. Four episodes in and I’m feeling about it like
I did for #StrangeNewWorlds. It’s hopeful, tense, funny, moving, inspiring. I love it #SFA #SNW #StarTrek

Also exciting or something anyway, someone has left a small bag of gravel in one the cubbies outside my front door. What does this mean? What am I supposed to do with it? I’m not known for accepting gifts of gravel. Or am I?

Everyone will have to go and see it to find out if I make it into the background

This is exciting, a new film called “A Town in Nova Scotia” is being made in my town right now, and they’re filming in a block of flats (not mine) in my road this week! I keep saying I need to get out more, will the chance to spot Bill Nighy do the trick?

If you haven't already it takes 30 seconds less than.

It’s easier to move around when standing to work which is good for me. My posture isn’t perfect at all but this does help.

Anyway I feel like a DIY expert now, building my own furniture, wielding an electric screwdriver (that and my staple gun are my favourite tools).

I was lucky enough to have a fancy standing desk in previous jobs (for tall person-related back issues). Sitting at a desk for too long causes problems, I prefer to stand and I’m used to it. I have an anti-fatigue mat and take regular breaks.

I just built a standing desk i.e. I got a tabletop from the Swedish shop plus some extra long table legs from eBay then I’ve screwed them together. It’s my second one, the desk area is bigger now. This is a very cheap and easy option but only if you’re used to standing all the time you work.

I love libraries!
