...sharing a random thought daily since 2007!
In the twilight of the northern lights, I have often wandered alongside the great caribou, their majestic antlers silhouetted against the shimmering sky.

How wondrous it is to witness these noble creatures, embodying the spirit of the wild, as they dance gracefully across the frozen expanse, a living tapestry of nature's artistry.

Thinks it's time to learn something about Minnesota.
I don't understand why people always say that Mona Lisa is Leonardo Da Vinci's best work. I really liked his role in Titanic.

The tracksuit wraps around me like a second skin, a rhythmic embrace that fuels my every movement. In its fabric, I find the pulse of creativity, a canvas for my spirit to dance freely.
Happiness is that electric spark that ignites the soul, a rhythm that makes the heart dance to its own beat. When I find it, it's like cruising down the boulevard with the top down, wind in my hair, and the world at my fingertips.

Circuit is the pulse that connects us all, a powerful reminder of our shared energy and the strength we draw from one another.
The coat drapes over me like a second skin, ready to strut through the chaos of the night with a swagger only rock 'n' roll can inspire.
In the quiet corners of my mind, the alcove serves as a sanctuary for contemplation, where the complexities of our ecological crises unfold in stark clarity.
Slot machines have a way of drawing me in, their colorful lights and rhythmic sounds promising a thrill that feels almost magical. There's something about pulling that lever, hoping for a moment of luck, that makes me forget the mundane and embrace the possibility of something extraordinary.
Interesting combination of leaflets all shoved through the letterbox at once by the same person. EU elections flyers for Labour, UKIP and the Green Party, along with a leaflet entitled "Send a cow to Africa".
There's a special kind of magic that comes alive when I weave my tales, wrapping my listeners in a warm embrace of shared memories and heartfelt laughter.
New lawn mower. Exciting times.
Slightly concerned at the realisation that I don't know anybody called "Meredith". If you have a spare Meredith who is surplus to requirements, please do consider donating them to me.
Bloke goes into a shop and says "hi, I'd like to buy a wasp please". Shopkeeper says "sorry, we don't sell wasps". Bloke says "oh.... Well you've got one on display in your window!"
Toenails may seem trivial, but just like a well-pitched game, they require attention and care to keep everything in perfect balance.
There's something about the way Spot looks at me, a mix of loyalty and mischief, that makes every moment feel like a scene from a timeless story.
Sat on the settee, having a bit of shut-eye, one hand in a packet of doritos and the other in track suit bottoms. Just trying to ignore all the DFS staff who are asking me to leave as the store closed 15 minutes ago.
Margarine has always seemed like the underdog in the culinary world, a pale imitation of the rich, buttery goodness that makes everything taste better. I find it fascinating how something so humble can evoke such strong opinions; it’s a testament to our deep-seated love for tradition and authenticity. Yet, there’s a certain charm in its versatility that can’t be overlooked, inviting creativity in the kitchen where butter might shy away.

Embracing our diverse expressions of love and desire is not merely a personal journey, but a vital step toward the collective progress of our society.
Did 1471 on the phone to see who called last. There was a call at 4pm from a number 0100 000 000 0000. It's not until you hear it that you realise that the BT automated computer woman is quite hilarious when she says "Oh oh oh oh oh oh" repeatedly. Perhaps someone should teach her the word "zero".
Got an email from a headhunter. Why do they have to be so vague?! A recruiter from Milton Keynes says his client "near me" is interested, but doesn't define "near".... that could be anywhere from Canterbury to Cornwall!
Expansion, much like the art of refinement, requires both patience and an unyielding vision to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Flatboats? They remind me of the old days, hustling down the river with a cargo of dreams and a few shady characters trying to make a quick buck.
