Congratulations Ryan on 10 years of bridging the gap between social networks and personal websites.

For all the talk of Omicron being a milder variant it's quite sobering to see the Nightingale Surge Hub being assembled at the Royal Preston Hospital.

So true:

"We suffer more often in imagination that in reality." – Seneca

In the past couple of days we have discovered 'magic bags' via the app Too Good To Go. A magic bag is a lucky dip selection of items that would otherwise end up as food waste. As per the app description:

• Search the map to find a restaurant, cafe, or shop near you that has unsold food
• Buy the food through the app from as little as £2/2€
• Collect your food at the pre-set time, and enjoy it knowing you've done something good for the planet

We've had everything from sandwiches and wraps to yogurts and cakes to a ham joint and barbecue ribs.

Fantastic idea.
