Spicy chips on pizza
Still thinking about the pizza I had last night and the extreme beliefs my coworkers & I share about pizza toppings: https://twitter.com/derekspringer/status/1065331334027997184?s=21 Read the thread from here: I had pizza earlier.

Sick boy
I left the house to get one child, ended up getting the other. He always smiles for a photo… four minutes later, was napping. I lifted him off the bus like I did when he was tiny. But weighing a lot more. The boy is a weight these days. Running a small furnace, he’s now…

New glasses
Departure from my older style of dark frames. Plus they wee cheapest in the shop. Win. Almost two years to the day since my last pair (8th Nov 2016, thanks Swarm!)
