I love...

That link above won't work on my phone so I'll just assume it's roots bloody roots by sepultura

I have a blood test every 3months so I’m glad I share your strength. Would be a [literal] pain otherwise!

I had to be that guy that time

Riding my bike in the winter. This week I’ve been wondering what’s changed, and it’s just that I love riding my bike in the cold.

This is an inspiring comment.

Can't wait to get out into the crisp air.

I concur, it's actually motivated me to sort my bike out ready to start some winter rides next week 👍

I am reading Debt by Graeber, and wish he knew of this example for his chapter on the myth of barter

I must say that the motivation is being blown away by this wind!

When people whose first language is not English adopt a glottal stop

It makes me secretly happy that they are picking up bad habits

Sesame seed oil

Easily the best of all of the seeded oils

Toasted AF, the one with the baby on from a Chinese supermarket is great. Shout out to pumpkin seed oil too, great on salads and weirdly, vanilla ice cream, on which it also changes colour which is fun.

The Southbank Centre.

Got to meet some people in a bit in a restaurant nearby and have a while to kill. Can just pop in have a quiet beer, use the toilets, big open space with loads of seating, chilled atmosphere and there's live music for free playing.

Real mix of people/ages, safe place for mums to breastfeed, it's got art/installations to look at etc.

It's a fab place.

And you didn’t even mention the musical lift!

I haven't used the lift!

How about black seed oil?

Now I like the cold but not the moist.

Yeah but also the wind. Fuck this wind

musical lift at south bank center is legit amazing.

Tail winds are great but that cycling in to an invisible wall of wind is so you either get blown off course or you suddenly stop.

I went to the local corner shop earlier and they gave me a box of chocolates as a new year gift. Never experienced anything like that before, and it feels so weird for a usually transactional place.

I left with a huge smile on my face and love that that there’s a glimpse of humanity and community. All I’ve done is buy beer there and said hello/goodbye.

Check the sell by date.

Don’t underestimate the simple fact that you when walk in there, you probably acknowledge the the fact that they’re even there and that they’re human beings, you probably smile at them genuinely when you greet them and that’s more than most people do. I see people all the time who view and treat local shop owners like they are dog shit.

So, so true.

I was just being silly, @slippers, that's a lovely gesture on their part. 🙏

This is the I love thread so fuck you too in the best way x

Happy new year etc

🤣🙌
