Oh dear, office is looking busy, Office Brief today!

🧵Spotted at the Ngatimoti Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand: Two women (50s &60s?) are lounging on Adirondack chairs overlooking the festival. Plates piled high with bake sale treats. A jar of garden-picked flowers on their gingham-draped table. Big rolling hills and mountains in the distance.

My iron gave out a nasty smell and would not get hot enough although the light was on. I gave up and got the old man's iron to finish the job. It works but the flex is only 2 metres.

I think my ability to distinguish between "I am feeling weirdly anxious and low today" and "I am just a person having a totally normal reaction to being alive during the 2020s" might have completely vanished.

that specific data not ‘belong’ to the other retailer, the one I did order with? Just feels iffy - I’ve complained but they say their DP policy says they can share data with trusted partners (it does, I’ve checked). Thoughts from experts appreciated please x

‘lo 👋 I seem to think some of you lovely lot are GDPR gurus. Question pls. Go Outdoors used Dad’s name in an email to me, taken from data held by their fulfilment partner SHOP (used for an order/delivery to him from a different retailer years ago). I didn’t actually place a order with GoO. Does

Just watched something a friend sent to me, a YT video of a well known head teacher (very strict) giving a talk about a very divisive opinion she has, with a commentator that did not push back at all. This friend used to share stuff from Trevor Noah. Not Birbalsingh. What is happening?

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A woman (30s?) is playfully biffing her partner's rump with two bunches of broccoli while he's trying to pay for their groceries. Doing comic book "BIFF! BAM!" noises. Giggling when he playfully growls that he's trying to focus. "POW!"

And, one side note: Unless you currently live in the Rift Valley in Kenya and can trace your ancestors to the dawn of human settlement there…we are all immigrants, wherever we find ourselves now. And we are all, without exception, one disaster away from becoming refugees. Think on that.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A big black cat is sitting sentinel on top of a high wall in a busy city street. Looking down at all the humans coming and going with an imperious air. A fluffy king monitoring his minions.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: Two cheerful bear-like men (50s?), dressed in Hawaiian shirt-holiday-casual are sitting side-by-side at a sunny cafe table. Holding hands. Watching people wander by as they lean into each other. Backpacks by their feet.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A VERY enthusiastic small terrier (Jack Russell cross Energiser Bunny?) RACES AWAY from his human and into a field. Then BACK TO HIS HUMAN. Then away. THEN BACK. Then away. He can go forever!

Pop socks on me are a hard no!

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: In an art gallery, a school group (8?) is engaged in gloriously controlled mayhem. Exploring the artwork while: laying on their backs, while doing handstands, while wrestling with each other... Teacher chill and answering ALL the questions.

Most of the car park of Gloucester railway station is blocked off to accommodate buses. Boys are cycling around the rest, trying to do wheelies.

Tried to capture the wiggly way the apple tree has grown.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A tiny human (2?) wearing a unicorn helmet is sitting on the back of Dad's bike. Tiny Human Unicorn is waving with suitable aplomb at everyone he passes. Both hands (hooves?) in action. Unicorns must let their public know they're adored!

I have a mouth ulcer. Not sure why. Just made me realise how long it has been since I had one.

A man is trying to connect a wire from a telegraph pole on thie sude of the road to a house further down on the other side, and it is windy. Shame it is not the pole outside my house, I could have moved my laptop in order to watch.

Turns out, ignoring a major bodily function that affects 50% of the global population may perhaps not be the greatest idea in the world? WHO KNEW??? newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/the-noisy-...

Well said. How many of Tommy Robinson’s Sport’s Direct paramilitary division go and help or worship at the churches they claim they want to protect. It’s much easier to don a balaclava and shout at the RNLI. #HopeNotHate

There’s really only one way to mark the 99th anniversary of Roger Moore’s birth

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A tiny human (1?) in a stripy red and white onesie is huffing, chuffing and puffing like a little steam train as she crawls in a straight line across a cafe floor towards a toy basket. On a MIGHTY MISSION. Mum cruising along behind, keeping pace.

@sukie74.bsky.social have you dieted too much?

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: An elderly black dog with distinguished silver whiskers (Staffy cross miniature walrus?) is sitting on the deck of an old apple shed. Eyes closed as she basks in the sun. A lady at her leisure.

The member of Restore who posted the leaflet on Saturday is now asking me about meditation. My mind struggles to contain the different aspects of this person.

🧵Spotted in Country Aotearoa New Zealand: A tiny human (2?) is holding Mum's hand as they walk to the end of a VERY LONG driveway and check their letterbox. Waving at cars as they go by. Doing a happy dance when Mum discovers that they have mail.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

To deny the link between religion and nationalism is to wilfully ignore history. I applaud moderate Christians who speak out against dangerous Christian nationalism today. But Christianity was the state religion of the Roman Empire… 1/3 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Yup no tariffs on original artworks so if you’re interested and living in the USA I’m in need of some work at the moment. Go on treat yourself to a commissioned piece with your own special creatures painted on real gold leaf. Art after all is one of life’s essentials

As someone ‘with too much Julian Cope’ on my iPod I now understand our connection.

OMFG man down the road who has attended my yoga classes just posted a ‘Restore’ leaflet through my door. He obviously needs more yoga!
