I love getting socks.

Building a garage so will be laying blocks. Takes bloody ages!

God, I don’t miss exams every single year for 7 years straight

God, I wish there were more “X of the week” type shows. I know breaking bad and a bunch of really great shows came out and made the golden age of serial story heavy TV happen - but man, I’m exhausted having to watch 20 hours of something to get any kind of plot resolution.

I mess the days where you could just watch 40 minutes of a show and have a whole story start to finish. So much less exhausting not having to get super invested. I don’t have the energy for serial TV shows these days!

After a while I just found it too stressfully destructive to keep watching!

My wife’s grandmother went through chemo and was so happy when her hair grew back naturally curly and she never had to get a perm again. Was nice for something to make her happy after it all!

Building a garage. Concrete pour went well, which is what I was stressing the most about. Not I’m just gradually laying blocks on evening and lunchtimes. It’s exhausting doing a day’s work then cooking, then spending hours building walls - but it’s very rewarding seeing it slowly turn into a garage.

Grew up in Yorkshire where we will shorten anything but an “o” sound, which instead becomes very long. So scone rhymes “stone”, with extra “o”.
