Something I learnt today

I need to be drinking black tea (Ideally. It's a keto thing). 

I can't have honey in my tea anymore [excessively crying face emoji] 

Sweetener makes black tea taste like ass. 

Something that made me laugh today

An airline is called 'Zeppelin Air'. That's like calling a nuclear power station 'Chernobyl'. 

Something stupid…

The layout outside Three Bridges station in Crawley. It is the most non-sensical arrangement for pedestrians and cars and to be positioned somewhere so hectic as outside a train station is just absurd! I got put on a performance review for using colour coding on a spreadsheet once; is there no monitoring on what someone does with millions of public money? A kid with a Big Loader playset and an intelligence level akin to an adolescent British Saddleback could improve on that. 

(If you're Googling 'Big Loader', enjoy the nostalgia). 

Anything else?

How often are we meant to dust as adults? As a normal adult with job(s) and a good social life (both priorities) who also lives alone so only has her own standards to adhere to. How often is normal? 

I don't want to ask anyone in person as I know I'm going to disagree and not align with whatever the answer is. The lack of visual reward and just the knowledge that your house is cleaner doesn't provide me enough ammunition or desire. 

I'm definitely way past the point of acceptable now though. My lounge gets dusted by my cleaners but my room. Oh my. How I can breathe at night is genuinely impressive.
