@therealmissjo I have had a hire car this week in a new city. Fully electric. Spent much of yesterday and this morning finding chargers that will work. Downloaded four new apps until I had success. :(

I have an elderly friend who is in her 80s.
She lives in Cornwall.
Mary is very switched on but she struggles with new technology a bit - especially parking apps.
All she wants to do is put her car in a space for a couple of hours and pay.
She does not want to sign up for a new app.
She does not want to verify her device.
She does not want to save her credit card information.
She does not want to figure out why the app thinks she is in Devon and cannot geolocate the car park she is standing in.
She wants to take a few coins and put them in a machine and do her shopping/meet her friends. Now, she finds excuses not to meet friends or shop because she is so worried about the parking situation.
It is a disgrace that parking has become so discriminatory and this is just the start. When Digital ID is introduced, her whole world will feel like this.

@Matt_Pinner Everything. My grandmothers were feminists before it was possible. Quietly strong, determined, role models, told us what we needed to be. And the hugs. There is nothing like a grandma hug. I can’t wait to be one and pay it forward.

@AdamCoffeyNT OMG they are resilient. We have one that has delivered all year, and now flowering at the same time as fruiting. I can’t keep up.

@aliciaandrz Brilliant. There is such a blandness to the AI writing, no?

@AJamesMcCarthy This was mine at the same time. I love that we still get stopped in our tracks for a good sunset. 😍

@AJamesMcCarthy The universe gives us what we need. In this case, it gave you a cat called Greg who became more popular than the universe. Both are spectacular.

Last Saturday I read for an Alevel student doing sociology. She's blind. She needs a reader. Her exam lasts 4 hrs cos she has 100% extra time. Shes as bright as a button.
At the end of the exam she said to me "thank you for being a really good reader, & thank you for helping me on a Saturday"
Lump in my throat, cant lie.
I have the best job!
I work with some of the gentlest, bravest, most appreciative, most positive kids, up against so much, but absolute sunshine!

@oneplanetmikey #metoo in the most positive of ways. I was 11 when I became hooked. Part of my life for decades.

My beloved Depeche Mode turns 45 today. It's a remarkably long time for a band to be a band. They have been a significant and meaningful part of my life now for decades. 🎶Makes me a happy man🎧
