I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.
This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

O fitness trainer, strong and brave,
thy training from ourselves will save.
Who bids us lest we fall asleep,
our gym appointments always keep.
O hear us when we cry to Him,
for those in Peril in the Gym.

Apparently, my induction on the fitness programme for which I just signed up next month will be conducted by somebody named Melita. And this means that for the next couple of weeks my brain will be going O HEAR US WHEN WE CRY TO THEE, FOR THOSE IN PERIL ON THE SEA…. #earworm @quiresandplaces.com

Feeling mildly frustrated at not being able to hear the resolution of the tale of financial skullduggery I was eavesdropping in the post office queue. Ah well.

The sudoku app I’ve been using for many years because of its simplicity has suddenly changed to putting full screen ads up randomly *in the middle of a game*, and is therefore now incredibly annoying to play. Surely this will lead to most people uninstalling it and so less money from advertising?

Walking through Tesco car park, minding my own business, when all of a sudden my arm is covered in bird shit. Not happy now.

We have temporarily (I’m assured) gained a hamster. I am not party to the reasons why. I fear I may be related to a hamsternapper.

This is such a great image. It looks like something out of sci-fi.
James Webb Satellite took a fantastic shot of the Planet Saturn with it's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This is just an Amazing shot that shows the planet and the rings in brilliant detail.

Today on #wikipedia I learned that there are two famous people called Tracy Scroggins. Look them up, it’s quite a contrast.

I have new glasses, which means I can now see my phone better with them on than without. I know this, and yet can I stop myself taking them off? Of course not.
