This is the ten pointless facts challenge, courtesy of David over at Forking Mad.
Nope! I do occasionally (rarely) pick with a toothpick, but apart from that I just brush my teeth twice a day.
Water and tea - I make my water and my tea and the same time. I tend to drink the water first and then leave the tea until it's cold (yes, this is heresy, I know).
I am only willing to have coffee in the form of coffee ice cream. Or kahlua.
Bare feet or just socks around the house, and occasionally about the garden. Outdoors, some kind of trainer. I don't really care enough and I tend to just buy ones that are cheapish on offer on Black Friday, and wear them until they are an aesthetic crime and completely unfunctioning.
My nan's bread pudding. Or, rhubarb crumble. Also had hot bananas and coconut milk recently that was really nice. Also... wait, I'm only meant to pick one.
Turn off the alarm. Then it sort of changes a bit depending on the day, how tired I am, whether I'm being disciplined or not, etc. I want to do exercise or study, but more often than not all I do is extend my sleep for another 90 minutes. Recently I've also been Hinge-swiping in the mornings.
I don't think I've reached that age yet.
One rainbow coloured one that I barely use. I'm not a hat guy.
I took a really low quality, heavily zoomed in photo of a bird in the garden. I am not sure what bird it was but I wanted to try identify it - I still haven't. It's sort of like a wren but was a bit bigger than I would expect. (It's probably just a wren...)
Honestly... I don't watch TV enough to have a good answer.
I think as a young child I wanted to be a scientist. Then as a teenager I wanted to do programming. I never ended up trying to apply for programming jobs though, because I didn't want actual work, and all the KPIs and meetings etc. to destroy my enjoyment of programming.
