My cat nephew Uba’s second birthday. Happy birthday, Uba! Am a proud pawntie!

Yeap, the BBC app won’t be offering drama programmes to its intl audience. We’ll have to rely on podcast apps and their curated BBC offerings. But podcast apps won’t tell us what BBC dramas are on offer! We’d need multiple data points to derive the same enjoyment from a much more limited selection!

Random: I suppose this brush pens casing I found randomly when staying at a friend’s was one such like inspiration for Meghan Markle’s odd jam packaging. Apparently the brand has now officially flopped. Wonder why
Lunch yesterday: shrimp rice bowl with carrots, corn, lettuce, corriander and pickled red onions
Sharing my friend’s thoughts on her experience of the earthquake in Bangkok this afternoon. Please keep Myanmar and Thailand in your prayers.
