Today I've been working with some very excitable Italians, and chatty Swedes that make me feel like I should work on expanding my vocabulary through their exquisite use of theirs.

Tom Stoppard possibly wrote a lot of your fave movie lines 👇
His IMDB profile would be incredibly impressive on its own. I had no idea until now that he was a script doctor on so many major movies!

Spoiler, Scotland men won 9-3. Same for the women tomorrow would be lovely but first to play some pesky and rather brilliant Swedes.

Scotland's Men going for bronze against Italy in the same competition. I don't think about it for years then thanks to work, getting suckered into Curling. Again.

In other Curling news, the Scottish women's team are IN THE FINAL TOMORROW. 8am. (Not like the very early morning shenanigans we all went through a few years ago).

last year, this community turned the most consumerist day of the year into a day defined strangers saying "I got you" to people that really need a bright spot in their life.
it's time to run it back.

If you're a fan of curling and like a little something running sneakily in the corner of your work screen... Scotland are playing Sweden on the iPlayer.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

Brain, please note that you're depriving yourself of a good few hours sleep at this point. The alarm is fine I have checked it 4695346 times

If night driving on the M1 in thick fog teaches us anything, it's that a worrying number of people don't know where their fog lights switch is.

I know someone who is a teacher in a NY school. She says that some of the undocumented kids have 'disappeared' and she's not sure if they have been withdrawn by parents or taken by authorities :(

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Howard Jones was 70 in February and still goes at it harder than all of the top 40 put together. If you have tickets for his tour, get prepared because trust me, you're not. Wear sequins. Take sunglasses. The encore alone is worth the ticket price. A full Forum in Bath just had one hell of a night.
