Summer 2021

I really like these, especially after the news of a rare orchid being found on the roof of an office in London. A nice way to introduce nature back into urban environments.

@PeteOtway Huge news for communicating with @joerwallen 😂

Just realised WhatsApp have added the ability to listen to voice notes at double speed. Amazing for speeding up arguments from my wife. Also makes them hilarious in the voice of a chipmunk.
