I was so tired while on the way home earlier that it took me longer than it should to realise "Showers in the Vicinity" wasn't the name of the place the train was going through.

In my defence, it could quite easily be an English village.

Today I declined to go into the office because I knew someone who had a stinking cold was going in as they had an 'important meeting' that apparently couldn't be done online.

I said I didn't want to catch their virus, and it wasn't safe for me to be there.

Let's see how this plays out.

My Dad is very ill with heart failure so I went to see him, the first time in years.

He's very frail and it's heart breaking to be honest.

I also found out today that there is a "points based system" to decide if its economically worth giving him a heart valve replacement.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU INTRODUCE BUSINESS MODELS INTO PUBLIC SERVICES.

Instead of making life saving medical decisions on value for money, how about we just use compassion and common decency.

I've just read the most insane comments thread on Instagram.

The subject was what Miriam Margolyes said about Harry Potter fans needing to grow up and move on.

They were justifying their continued fandom by comparing Harry Potter to Shakespeare, claiming they were on a parr.

I'm inclined to agree with Miriam after reading that.

Having no context and seeing a shit tonne of pictures of Chicago like this, I assumed their river was suffering a toxic algae bloom.

Proof that gays just walk fast. I use a stick when I walk and couldn't run if I tried. I am however still thoroughly homosexual.

One day, one day, I will be able to have a full and complete conversation with my sister without either of her kids or husband interrupting, mainly because they can see she's talking to someone on the phone

I'm pretty much out of the loop on a lot of news (by choice)

My thoughts on the recent spate of armed forces talking up conscription and mass mobilisation.

Modern wars aren't fought really by ground forces, but with technology and drones.

Armies - especially the British are professionals they don't like conscripts or 'national service'
My own personal view is armed forces especially in the UK have been downgraded and starved of money for so long they're trying to spook us into investment

I just thought I saw a really big rat running down the path towards me. As it got closer, I realised it was just a sausage dog.
I really need to either get my eyes tested or not be in London.
