    Made a conscious effort to move away from programming a few years ago (my body's choice, not mine) so it now feels like a treat when I get to sit down for a bit of coding, like today. Pretty rusty but still fun 🙂

    Fun fact: Since the big earthquake/tsunami/nuclear meltdown of 2011, all mixer taps (faucets) turn off by pushing the lever down, not up. This is to prevent flooding when things fall in the kitchen/bathroom and hit the lever.

    This is unbelievable. Our highest diplomat gets his own wife's nationality wrong, mixing up Chinese and Japanese while in China?! Good luck getting out of that one. 信じられない！イギリス外務大臣が中国人の妻のことを日本人と言い間違った。しかも中国訪問中！

    These are so accurate! Makes me realise I would've been as useful as a chocolate teapot in a world pre-glasses. Or a sabre tooth tiger's lunch, probably. /via

    Have you ever wondered how people with a poor eyesight see the world without glasses or contact lenses? The artist Philip Barlow show it vividly to us through his fascinating oil paintings.

    Can confirm that blueberry cake is a delicious alternative to blueberry muffins. Marital (and culinary) bliss restored! 😁

    Oh no, turns out she made blueberry cake, not blueberry muffins as promised. Must be something lost in translation... 😉

    Delicious-looking blueberry cake (not blueberry muffins)

    Darling wife inadvertently gave me a fright leaving this lying around. Turns out she’d been painting her toenails. Aaaaaand breathe! 😅

    Top tips from the article: * Never say "yes", "yep", "uh huh", etc. * When they ask "Can I speak with so-and-so?", respond with "Who's calling?" - don't confirm your identity until you're sure it's a valid call.

    Some great advice on what to do if there’s a phone scammer.
