I discovered some time ago there’s a huge climbing gym twenty minutes walk from my flat, and this evening I finally got round to doing one of their introductory sessions. Fantastic value for £20 as I was the only person so got 90 minutes of solo tuition, climbed several walls, learned to tie some knots, and now feel like my arms might fall out of my shoulders. 5*, will be back again.

What site should I write a small Safari extension to redirect to when I attempt to open it?
Fucking Acast ads. “Your customers are scrolling past your ads, using ad blockers, and paying for ad free streaming. Well fuck your customers. Fuck their dislike of ads, get some in their ear holes while they’re driving down the road and can’t skip them.”
@sundogplanets @catsalad wow, that’s the same face I’d pull eating raw rhubarb.
Big sigh of relief on finishing a dry run of the interview exercise I’ll be running tomorrow and discovering I am indeed qualified to do my own job.

It’s the time of year when I can go out for 90 minute walk at 7pm, absolutely beautiful in the woods this evening, so beautiful in fact I didn’t think to stop and take a photo so you’ll just have to believe me.
