  Three good things from today - 2026/11/10 1) Received a product yesterday that the supplier said was due to be shipped tomorrow. Amazing time travel service. 2) Husband made Long Beans, pork and rice for dinner. 3) Started working on a style guide for one of my clients I volunteer with. Keeping my brain active in retirement. #3goodthings

  Three good things from today - 2026/11/08 1) Managed to recreate a recipe my best friend used to make me in the 1970s, called Baked Bean-O. It really worked out well. 2) Asian Movie Night, a very bad Chinese movie that we really enjoyed!! 3) Watching old Woolworths UK Christmas TV commercials. Do you recognize the celebrities in the one? Those prices!! #3goodthings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_0ENIw4os

  Three good things from today - 2026/11/06 1) Friends took us out to lunch at our favourite Filipino restaurant, it was awesome. They drove, they paid and even made White Chocolate Nanaimo Bars for us. 2) Despite the heavy rain falls we managed to miss them all and keep dry all day!! 3) I became a member of the Green Party in the UK. Yes, I can still vote there. I don't care for the Conservative and Labour Parties right now. #3goodthings

  For Asian Movie Night last night we saw 100 Yards [ 门前宝地]. Another DVD to add to our Andy On collection but can't say we enjoyed it. It did receive two award nominations though. Managed to watch it without dropping off, so there is that. #cdrama https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1122824

  My UK civil service pension is 7 months late. Capita told Keir Starmers office that my pension would be paid at the end of April, it didn't happen. Many people, inc me, still can't create an account on the Capita platform. Letters to me are sent from Sweden, not the UK, which takes over 1 month to reach me. A UK government outsourcing contract by the Conservatives but failures to monitor the contract by Labour. Just a bloody gong show. #UKpol https://www.civilserviceworld.com/profess...

  @jetton@mastodon.online In the UK: 382,000 homeless people. 1.5 million unoccupied dwellings. Seems the US is not the only country who can't get their act together.
