J to Bill’s to help repair the roof, which has been leaking. Full day job, but successful, not only patched but tiled, so well done. No sign of any action regarding the leak in our kitchen ceiling, but then it hasn’t rained for a couple of days, so it isn’t leaking any more.
Twitter decides for reasons best known to itself to lock me out. Significantly annoying, as it’s my number one reading referral system, carefully constructed mainly from journalists, analysts, academics, politicos of various hues,and the odd eccentric. Excellent not only for article links but often for first class legal analysis or frontline info. What “they” want is a phone number to “associate” with my account, in return for which I will be sent a code to let me back in. Had remembered the password but that wasn’t good enough. I mistrust their explanation re its being for my own protection, and am more irritated than insulted by the advice to review any rules I may have broken, being unable to remember having made threats of violence, racist comments, etc. Not keen on providing social media with totally unnecessary personal info. But beyond that there is the fact that we simply don’t have a phone number, mobile or landline, that works year round. Consider corresponding with them to argue the case but default to the course of least resistance and give them a Cyprus mobile number. They text the code and we are duly back in Twitter’s good graces.
