Been thinking why I do this whole Twitter echo chamber. Well it's so when I die, which I will fairly soon, my kids can get an insight into how their dad thought. So if what I say pisses you off by all means say so but do so respectfully & I'll try & extend you the same courtesy

I'm still reading messages though and appreciate everyone's life updates which I really want to hear! It's just replying that's an issue right now! So please don't be offended or think I'm ignoring you! All my best, Martin

Hello to anyone who's had messaged me over the last few days I just wanted to say thank you but I'm finding communicating difficult right now as I'm quite confused & drowsy a lot of the time so I've taken the decision to mute everything for the time being until I get on top of it

Ok for some reason "X" is not letting me tag St Barnabas House Hospice, Worthing. I'm assuming that this platform is now called X because of all the eXpletives using it now causes

Absolutely sickening. Imagine doing this to any vulnerable elderly person in a care home but to do it because of their sexuality is disgusting. How on earth do you get this hateful & be allowed near vulnerable people?
Channel 4 News@Channel4News

Told 'not to kiss' his partner as it wouldn't be 'a safe thing to do'. Ted's partner was abused in a care home because of his sexuality - as we reveal a report finding hundreds of cases of elderly people experiencing homophobic or transphobic attacks in care settings

A campsite for homeless people in Bloomsbury, one of the most salubrious areas in one of the wealthiest cities on Earth. They camp here cos the airflow from the hospital is warm. We have failed the most vulnerable in society, whilst arguing about fatuous culture war issues.

One thing I was surprised by, but now get, when my son started reception was that they wanted the kids to play in the class garden - hitting things, hammering, digging etc. I asked why & it's all about developing arm strength & motor control they need in order to write. Genius!

@dannybster Well I watched Glass Onion the other day and thought it was great. I think if I get a moment I'd like to rewatch The Grand Budapest Hotel. And with the kids I'm obviously getting to watch a whole bunch of kids films.

Pain under better control today so got in a baking session with my little chef. I hope there will be more to come but if this is the last time I'm able to do it I'm so proud of 3yo for having the patience to bake & take enjoyment from it. He does the weighing, mixing, everything

Damn I had been thinking of writing to my cllrs about putting a 20 limit on my road. There are kids playing & it's v. narrow, parked cars make passing impossible. I can't see a way to drive safely that isn't doing <20 but everyday I see some nutter bomb down faster than 30.

@dannybster From the cafe by our beach hut, wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as good as it was (as I've only really had toasties from them before). Marine Gardens Cafe if you're ever in Worthing!

@CkwMartin 🤣 where did you find such a magnificent creation? I think everybody would suffer at least a bit after eating that... 100% worth it though! 🤣

@dannybster Thought you'd never ask 😋! Had the best hot dog I've had in years - smothered in cheese sauce, onions, jalapeno and crispy bacon. Really hit the spot although I suffered for it and I'm going to need a couple of detox days now! Worth it though

@CkwMartin I've not read any of his stuff. I'm doing my best to get into Infomocracy. From what I've read, it's fantastic, but I keep letting myself get too busy. It's an exciting sci-fi look at where politics/capitalism could go. How's the food journey coming along?

@dannybster I think I'll need to take it day by day with food but I've been eating jasmine rice with Lap Cheong - tasty but simple so I can always manage it. I'm a big fan of Iain Banks, especially his scifi. In fact most scifi & fantasy tick my boxes - recommendations get niche quickly!

@AllanBriddock Me & my friend talked about this when we saw a teenage lesbian couple out on a date. We left school in 2003. He came out to me that summer, the first of about ten from my year. We were saying it's a huge change that kids feel safe to come out now. Just hope that stays true.

Lesson from Uxbridge isn't that @SadiqKhan is wrong on ULEZ. It's that Kier Starmers labour is so bereft of policies & hope that if the Tories give voters any excuse to feel conflicted about lab - they stay at home (politically and literally) to the extent that poll leads halve.
