Enjoy these blessed days. I donā€™t get a chance to tell the younger one off because the 15yo is like ā€œI got this actually, step aside old manā€

Can anyone who is, like, 5 years younger than me confirm whether or not Abi & Joeā€™s constant flirting over early Kate Nash songs is the most incredulous thing going on in Nightsleeper?

ZT Street is just the same layout as 75 Road but itā€™s _faster_ šŸ˜‚

That said, Harvest Fields in Sutton had to build one of the roads along a right of way through the previous fields. Thereā€™s a road that follows the historic path with houses either side, ending in a gully to the main road. They named it Ramblers Way which I do find quite endearing

I am somewhat obsessed with the terrible road names. I swear Iā€™ve seen an Avenue Boulevard. My sister in lawā€™s road (outside Stratford) was called McBeth Road for 18 months before being corrected to Macbeth.

Yeah I somehow ended up short and then with stacks of cash that I also canā€™t spend šŸ˜‚

But not having a physical branch nearby is a pain because older relatives like to give them cash and they prefer to use their cards

Any mainstream bank with a branch nearby tbh. My kids had a savings account with the bank we use and they just got given a current account with a debit card when they came ā€œof ageā€ as it were which was 11. And the debit card got Apple Pay added once they hit 13.

Succession was, of course, a great show. All those big moments. All the Greg & Tom moments. Romanā€™s dick pics. Every scene Shiv was in. That bit where Ken was crying by the bins and people did likeā€¦ art history based semiotic analyses of it. Wow. But the bit that sticks with me the most is this

Still from succession. Alan Ruck as Connor Roy, holding wine. Caption: ā€œYou donā€™t hyper decantā€
