If my bank started commenting on my spending habits I’d close my accounts that very same day

β€˜Mainly, you fast fooded’: Monzo under fire over β€˜shaming’ year-end reviews Bank criticised for tone of spending summaries, with one user complaining to ombudsman over β€˜humiliating’ use of data

I'm not saying that content design for financial products needs to be boring or staid. But it does need to be considerate of the fact that money is a sensitive subject for people. Some of the microcopy in here is...almost cruel.

Popped to my local spring near Pinoso on a rather dull & cold morning & was pleased to see my friendly Bluethroat was still present. He will be headed north soon. Glad I caught up with him before he left. #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #BirdsSeenIn2026 #NaturePhotography

There’s being interested in crime and Being Interested In Crime, right?

I also once discovered someone I knew had a copy of Huntley’s birth certificate in their wallet and that was the day I ended that friendship.

The relationship people have with true crime is utterly bizarre.

I watched a documentary about Huntley once. He had a terrible past full of violent crimes that he committed - a long list of victims, and should not have been living in that community.

In my opinion, he should already have been in prison that day Jessica and Holly walked past that house.

Ian Huntley death: the summer we watched a senseless tragedy unfold in Soham How the desperate search for two missing girls in 2002 and their now-dead killer claimed its place in the country’s museum of appalling crimes

Ian Huntley has died after being attacked in prison.

There’s questions to ask but right now, let the media focus on his victims: 10 year old best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, and their parents and siblings who must still endure a lifetime of grief. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Why is women’s fashion just black, white, grey, brown and pale pink or blue at the moment? Why does everyone look so bland?

Media must stop normalizing the far right Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.

"Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences. Every headline, every clip, every click adds weight. This is how the line gets crossed."

"And how some media are no longer just covering the far right but helping it speak."

Every Saturday, my family went to the local library before doing the big shop at the big Tesco.

Now I work behind the scenes in a library. Funny how these things turn out, isn’t it?

Today is #WorldBookDay and as it’s the #YearOfReading, I’ve been thinking about the books that first inspired my love of reading.

The Hobbit is the first book I read independently as a child.

Apricots at Midnight was a firm favourite, as was The Secret Garden.

What about you?
