One advantage of being unable to visit people or meet up with them is that I no longer know what my friends' friends or families look like so I won't know if one of them appears at a far-right "protest" or similar.

@goatsarah This is why my kid drinks coffee to help them sleep

Top tip: don't upend a fresh cup of coffee on your lap when you're wearing dungarees.

At least I was at home so got everything away from my skin before it was a serious scald. Adrenaline comedown now.

One of the great things about turning 18, for me, was that I gradually started living in one place for a year at a time or more. I've now lived in this house longer than my mother has lived at any one address.

@goatsarah @marnanel all I know about Grange Hill is that small Rob was terrified of Big School because of it

@marnanel @goatsarah lower case g, H, s

@John_Loader @goatsarah I was going to say, cis men get breast cancer too. But afaik trans women almost never get prostate cancer.

@lnr we're all booked for private ones on Friday 27th

@Antiqueight @natural20 it's right and proper that kids should grow up thinking it's free though. Always thinking "ok but is the baby really £50 of snuffly-wheezy?" is no way to live.

@Antiqueight I don't think it's a thing that gets spelled

@Antiqueight shellackybúcaí
That's how *I* spell it

@renwillis @sinituulia I had to Google those but they look like the coffee pods you can get in the UK -- often for Nespresso branded machines -- which are recyclable or compostable. Do I assume they use something grim to make them?

@goatsarah the ones around here seem to be trained to answer very unambiguously.

@Antiqueight @natural20 @cunobaros 14y, the baby you tickled while I had my drink is here

We went to the Lego talk but the queue to see the model was cut off two people ahead of us so we're waiting for a second chance when they find a safe display place #DWCon2024

Once again, clean bedsheets, clean pyjamas, and a clean me after a bedtime shower. There is no greater comfort. It's so nice.

I absolutely love plumbing and washing machines.

@stavvers @mekkaokereke every so often in the UK parents try to force the NHS to tell them if their children access medical care, especially contraception or abortion but also mental health stuff etc
