So... If I can trust the internet, baking soda and white vinegar can solve all life's problems from "how to clean my nightmare hell pit of an oven" to "how to create an economically viable fusion reactor", right?

I just typoed "Marinara Trench" instead of "Mariana Trench". They are not the same thing.

A picture from yesterday's MAGNIFICENT walk/Hobbit hunt here in New Zealand.

It's a waterfall that runs over a moss wall. So it's pretty much a natural furry wall.

20 mins in we ran into a super upset tourist who'd lost their brand new phone, then found out someone had found it for them while we were getting a (mandatory) ice cream at the end.

Sometimes people are pretty awesome😊

I've gotta add here that a citation is needed. I know about 3 speed gearboxes. This is just goofin' around.

I was today years old when I realised that cars used to have four gears because that's how many gaits a horse has...

It would be SO much more fun if car gears were referred to as walk, trot, canter and gallop. Why is this not a thing?!😁🐎

Today's AURAL MAGNIFICENCE:

If you love The Princess Bride and you haven't read this, I can highly recommend the audiobook. If only for the chapters on Andre the Giant, especially the one where he passed out at The Dorchester. 🤣 And THE FART.

If it's possible for ears to smile, mine are smiling.

I know I'm incredibly late to the party but I've just discovered Slings & Arrows and it just may be one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Paul Gross is the perfect Shakespearean Bernard Black.😎

I've just started my day to an email from a 93 year old reader who's informed me that reading my novel, OverLondon caused them to have a "very bracing" dream about Errol Flynn.

I don't think I'm going to be able to top that. And all before my first cup of tea😊
