I was (almost literally) tearing my hair out trying to work out what was up with new router!

Looks like I chose the best day to join Vodafone broadband, then.

Not even joking. Switched from Sky, this morning.

I have a very awkward story about a very elderly Maurice Denham. I might tell you, one day.

One of MrsD’s go-tos for the festives.

I find the idea of you and @mattleys.bsky.social upstairs and downstairs from each other, both listening to the same album both comforting and amusing.

There comes a day in everyone’s life when they finally realise the genius of Sufjan Stevens. For me, it was today. Not sure why.

Has your day come yet?

I sincerely doubt that the singer from 4 Non Blonds really does "pray everyday for revolution."

Steve Doherty @stevedoherty.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah. Just another of life’s little irritations. Like we needed a new one!
