Freshly Spilled Thoughts

Quiet today · last updated 4 months ago

  1. I was walking past a bridge and saw this.

    Fans of the show will get it…

  2. I have set up notes so readers can reply privately/give feedback/flirt/hurl abuse/rant/tell me jokes/you get the picture (the spam b-o-t-s are a headache ya see). I’ve throttled it with a limit per hour so we’ll see how that goes.

    For now we have Private Replies and my work here is done 🙂 Hurrah! Leaving all this as it is now and will just post.

    Would love to know what people think. It took me longer than half an hour and less than a day, but love don’t pay the rent.

  3. Things you never overhear in lifts or bus queues:

    Thing #1: Black pants or red ones today… or did you go commando? Bit cold for that though, right. How cold has it been today! Frrrreezzzinnggg.

  4. Finally testing Video now – Out running with Kate Bush…

  5. In real life I walk around in black and white as well…

    Feel free to colour yourself in… if you’re into that sort of thing.

  6. TFI Friday. No work until next week. *Crowd Roars*

    I love Milton:

    “The people to cake ratio is too big”

    “I believe you have my stapler”

  7. What else could I add to this page to knock your socks off? Answers on a postcard (via the contact page).

  8. I went to the cinema last night. At the end of the film, everyone cheered (I’ve never known that to happen before). There was also this annoying bloke next to me who seemed to be having a love affair with sweet wrappers, and his wife (assume it was his wife) seemed to be counting them. WTF. I haven’t given them a nickname yet, but for now I am going to call them, “The Cinema Goers From Hell” 🙂

    I can imagine the convo:

    “Margaret, don’t forget, we split the sweets equally!”
    “Don’t worry, I’ll count them in the cinema while the film is on and rustle them about a bit.”
    “Great. I’ll repeatedly click the drinks bottle as well just to aggravate whoever is sitting next to me”
    “What film is it again?”
    “Who cares.”

  9. After the latest revelations about paracetamol, the term: “Not tonight, I’ve got a headache” has turned pain relief into a national emergency. They’ll be saying viagra makes you better at comedy, next.

  10. I never wrote this bit in quotes but I 100% agree. What the world wants you to be isn’t YOU…

    [the bit I didn’t write]

    “The secret to confidence is just to be yourself. No fakery. No acting. No fancy logos. No polished Instagram pictures. No highlight reels. No “here’s my Lambo, bro.” Nope. Just be yourself.

    [end of the bit I didn’t write]

    Back to me again…

    That is your superpower (a lot of people don’t get this). People don’t need self-help books or overpaid therapists, they just need to be the awesome person they already are.

    Well I am anyway ha ha.

  11. Aren’t bananas disappointing when you peel them and you discover they have decided to ripen in secret (at which point they are no good to man nor beast). Personally I like them firm but fair, myself (not green though). How about you?

  12. [Testing 1,2,3] If this works a thumbnail should display on hover & camera icon should be visible…

    Stumbled upon this place by accident.

  13. Now I can say things like, “I looked out of the window last night and a badger was staring back at me” (true story).

  14. I’ve effectively set up my own micro blog-thingy on here (wowsers) *proud*

  15. Random audio test for ze blog

  16. It’s a bit like twitter as it’s also on my Fresh Thoughts Page

  17. Sometimes I just want to add quick thoughts on here so this is where you’ll find them.
