Mr Chicken Legs. How's a chap supposed to fit in his bed?

Sunday baking.. I might have to consider other options.. A French Onion Tart with nutmeg perhaps?

Raffle at last night's Adoption ceremony went well... not pictured, 2 boxes of chocolates, distillery gift vouchers and a selection of toiletries...

And tonight, a French Martini. It was bloody delicious.

Good show this

At an event.... fun.

When your colleague has to leave the Zoom call.. and his replacement is:

Sitting in a bar, there's guys in here talking about how well off the guys on 'the broo' are. Which just goes to show how out of date they are...

This dog will not leave the biscotti cooling in the kitchen in case it comes to harm...

An alternative 50 year old Escort that has some uses and a more pleasing sound.

Some scenes.. from a sunny Tay today. cc @aphilosopher.bsky.social

Morning, today the river is a ribbon of mist in the low morning sun Cc @aphilosopher.bsky.social

Work in Progress: First miniatures I've painted in months. 40mm prints from @pianowargames.bsky.social files. Mainly contrast paint so far.

Hit a target weight. 10kg off since November... still lots to go, but a good start. One chin down...

Interesting cars I have had.. here's a contrast. For some reason I dont have a picture of the 4.1 litre Cortina

The picture where you realise your mother modelled for the Evil Queen in Snow White...

#SundayBaking using up the ham left over from the pea and ham soup

Eccentric? My family isn't Eccentric. How very dare you? Uncle J casually smoking a pipe on a bike, as you do.

My two mums. Twins. Birth mother on left, adoptive mother on right. Circa 1963

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Today Scotland is trying to prove all the slurs about its weather to be true, 'bla'n a hoolie, pishin' it doon' A good day for movies, and maybe a wee drama.

Sometimes you just have to...

Double-decker dogs.. she comes and sits on him till he moves. And he's way too good-natured to make her go away.

Blast from the past, I think I'd just been made redundant, and Gus wanted to help...

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs With Big Naturals

One of my favourite pictures hanging in Ninewells. The woman second from right is the dead spit of an old girlfriend. Petted lip 'n all.

Talk about a remake of Blakes 7, but who could possibly reprise Servalan*? *may have been a major influence on UK men of a certain age...

Some good news!

Lots of words today from Starmer. As usual, no positive actions. Announce the NHS Palantir deal is off, Trident replacement suspended, UK govt will be migrating off MS operating systems, scrap the use of X and investigate US tech companies for interference in UK elections.

I'd like this on a t-shirt to go with this other one...

You can go off some bus companies... "Xplore Dundee billionaire bus owners hand ‘six-figure’ sum to Labour" (to get the SNP out) Funny how the bus company owners oppose public transport, but seems like throwing away money based on current polls.

The river, there's always the river.. cc @aphilosopher.bsky.social

Don't you hate it when the heat makes the anchovies shrink and spoils the symmetry? #SundayPissaladiere

Thinking about politeness. I once helped an old lady down the road with her messages (shopping), talked to her, found out I had a sister, and unravelled my life. #WTAF

Out and about, needed some fresh air. And to get away from world events. Talked to some guys in Highlander Games who struggled with the concept of TTRPG games being played at the dawn of time.. (1982). They may have thought we had to carve pieces from Narwhal tasks.

Lo, and he left the cocoon od the house and went forth to Braithwaites, VPZ and Highlander Gamee. That's all life's essentials covered. Food is scrambled eggs on sourdough.

So now I'm wondering why the 1968 tag is missing. Blast from the past as I rummage for something else. Best guess, buy the tags from War Amputations, and they guarantee delivery if you ever lose your keys, the finder just drops them in a postbox. So the licence plates must be real.

The estuary has vanished in freezing mist and the army is on Arctic Manoeuvres. The camouflage needs a coat of whitewash if they're going to Greenland #RiverTay

And today's earworm has been m.youtube.com/watch?v=sEXH...

My god the stress, panic, incredulous smoking is palpable — I know this look so very well

In good news today. Annual health review initially had an abnormal result, but saw the Doctor today and all clear. Hurrah! Old but still not dead yet.. now just need to drop some weight and work on my unresolved trauma.

Repost your home river

Don't get too excited.. I mean, this one should have a Content Warning. Going full-on 'Dadcore' with the slogan t-shirt, but it's the oatmeal chunky knit cardigan with leather patches.. I mean, perfection.

Callanish , no drama , recent snow #StandingStoneSunday

TFW your story begins with: 'The first bad thing I did, was being born. It's hard to recover from killing two people' Fuck Monday Melancholy.

Age yourself with a song... 😀 m.youtube.com/watch?v=9atX...

Today's baking... Quiche Lorraine and Pissaladiere. Elizabeth David's recipes. Shit day - rain, wind... so at least some baking cheers it up.

Have not yet stopped laughing…
