    Highlights! That's the word I couldn't think of, thank you 😆. Yes, I had dark blue highlights. I think I probably seem more "formal" given that this is my job 😋 also I think my typing style is pretty formal but in person I am quite informal and silly!

    I have had the issue of older family members having rather poor technical safety knowledge as well. It's something that feels so simple to me, but it's also something I've grown up with. I have to try and keep that in mind.

    That makes sense about it being your job @Jimm_Scope I did before wonder why I got on with you because I don't tend to get on with people who take themselves seriously - it makes total sense that you are silly deep down 😂

    I agree about the tech safety - I always took the view that the moment you decide "I won't get scammed, I'm not stupid", that's when you become vulnerable … if you always doubt yourself I think that keeps you safe if that makes sense??

    @Sandy_123 & @Beaver79 Thanks I enjoyed my facial it was 3 different things she done Dermaplan, enzyme peel and a steam she then done a treatment on the biggest off the milia spits I had that part was quite painful but worth it. I will go back definitely. I hope yous are doing well today.

    Also yes @66Mustang, I am actually a relatively silly person outside of work. I find silliness helps relieve stress a lot of the time.

    And yes, always remain vigilant! Hackers and fraudsters are always finding new ways to trick you into giving information to them.

    @Jimm_Scope Interestingly I know of quite a few people who do/did jobs that you'd think need taking really seriously as they involve death, crime, illness and such, but they are some of the daftest people, even at work - I think that's a well-known thing because apparently if they didn't do that they would get upset by the work they are doing

    I came across quite a really good scam the other day and it genuinely almost had me, it's really quite well staged with a fake BBC news story (which I was innocently forwarded by someone who didn't know it was fake, which led me to investigate and almost fall for it) giving it a veiled plug and all sorts of surrounding stuff … I give them 9/10 for effort I think

    They're getting more subtle @66Mustang, it's even easier for them to just spam them out with AI now too to generate the content.

    I think some of the very serious jobs need to be counter-balanced by silliness. It's the brains way of protecting itself perhaps, I don't know.

    @Jimm_Scope some of the things police officers and nurses/doctors say about people behind their backs would probably attract media attention, I think it's probably for the best that normal people like us, who don't really understand what they have to go through, just remain ignorant, so long as those people carry on doing a good job 😂

    I do think there is a time and a place for seriousness and fully accept that that is not the place for me so I stay well away. I wouldn't touch politics or something similar with a 10 foot pole, for many reasons, but in part because I'm not capable of taking it seriously

    I'm going to a restaurant soon, I couldn't think of a Father's Day present for my Dad so I decided we could go to a nice restaurant instead

    Oh lovely @66Mustang, is it a favourite restaurant/food of your dads? Enjoy!

    @Jimm_Scope it's a place that raises their own pigs and specialises in pork, no prizes for guessing why which is kind of sad in a way but they are treated really well. They do other stuff as well if meat (or just pork) is not your thing, fortunately my Dad loves pork though 😋

    I'm off now, will see everyone tomorrow, I hope you all have a nice evening 😃

    @Amberpearl It's so cold! I've had to grab my hot water bottle again, my feet are freezing! Hope we all get some better weather soon.

    Glad you enjoyed your facial @Lou67, that all sounds very fancy. I bet you're glowing now!

    Great to hear you've been seizure free so far today @Grinchy, hope it continues 😊

    Have a great time with your dad @66Mustang!

    @66Mustang that's a lovely Father's day gift

    @Lou67 ive never had a facial. Was it relaxing?

    @grinchy hope you stay seizure free

    @ada sorry your legs were so sore last night. I pray you sleep tonight.

    I feel so much better now my hair is done and no more white roots!

    Aww that’s good your happy with your hair. A trip to the hairdressers always boosts your confidence. The facial was really good so relaxing, I got another treatment done to get rid off some off the milia spits I have she took a few big ones I had that was a bit painful but well worth it.

    @Ada
    Thanks I hope your feeling a bit better tonight and hope your legs don’t kick off, it’s a pity you can’t take the meds for the RLS they really help me.
    Going for a facial was way out off my comfort zone I had never had anything like that before but I will definitely be going more often. The girl does special offers so made it easier for me to go.

    Hope your legs give you a break @ada
