A few years ago I took a series of photos around my house, close ups of the edge of a table or a door frame. Somehow, without a marker of scale, they evoked the huge skies, acute perspective lines and flat horizons of my native East Anglia. I called them Tiny Horizons.
Now I live in a new house so I’m starting to take some more. I’ve cropped them square and rotated them as I see fit, but there’s no other manipulation. I’ll add new ones to this thread.

At the moment it’s a way to travel and see new places without leaving my home. #TinyHorizons

A brief detour back to 2013 and our old house where I took the original Tiny Horizons #TinyHorizons

I went up to Karen earlier and said “You look like you could do with a little sit down” then held out my hand.

By some miracle we have been together for 29 years. Image
Luckily she just went “Ooooh!”. Possibly because she wasn’t expecting to see a tiny chair. I can still surprise her after all these years.
Just resting my finger on it. It’s surprisingly comfortable. Image

The whole point of this is that you retweet it. Share it. Liking it doesn’t boost it in the same way. Increase visibility.
I’m saying this because I can see lots more people liking it than retweeting it. A like signifies "l approve of this but I’m not going to share it with my followers".
Yes, I know some people have their settings so they see some random likes. But the retweet is for sharing other people’s tweets. It’s pretty basic.

My 17yo just came into my room with a joke he’s made up.

“If we let children go on waterslides they’re just going to want to spend all their time on waterslides”.

He looked quite pleased with himself, and rightly so, I’d say.
Come on, don’t tell me you need me to explain it to you.
I like it because it fits into that category of jokes that I consider a funny puzzle. You have to work it out and then the penny drops. Hint for those who are struggling: how else would you describe a waterslide?

I used to obsessively doodle on scraps of paper, old receipts etc Image
I remember being lambasted during a lesson by the scariest teacher in the school for doodling. It’s not being ‘distracted’, it’s the opposite. It helped me concentrate and fix ideas in my mind. I would expect most teachers would understand that these days.
Side note: he was scary because he would lose his temper completely and hit pupils, lash out at them. I guess these days he’d probably get done for assault and lose his job pretty quickly.

I just said I was going for a sneep - somewhere between a snooze and a sleep, but it made me wonder - what is the maximum length of a snooze? What’s the cut-off point? When does a snooze become a sleep?
Interesting variety of replies, only confirming that even the well-worn words and phrases we feel we know mean different things to different people.
We are a nation divided by a common language.
