I was completely unaware that today was Friday the 13th until I read John Naughton’s daily post.

Two hours left to avoid bad luck!


Was slightly thrown to see @maique out of context — in the Fastmail newsletter.

Thanks to today’s theme from @challenges, I find myself debating whether my hoodie is, in fact, maroon or not.

Day 10: Pot

I’m fond of this pot. And yes, I know that the pot inside the pot is a bit too big. I just don’t care.
