Just met this excellent cat on a job site, demanding scritches. Ear scritching delivered, 10/10, would scritch again.

Find you someone as happy to see you as the Egyptian Foreign Minister is to see the present the Danish Foreign Minister got him.

For no reason at all I thought this quote from Katie Lam MP would work in a different font. I thought I’d add a headline too. Apropos of nothing in particular. Really, no reason at all.

My son has spent some of his birthday money on a whoopee cushion, and now I have to teach him all the English playground classic lines for letting one rip. He finds this very funny, whereas I am obviously treating it with the proper scientific detachment*. *Am I bollocks

If you see this, quote post with your favourite Pokémon, (wrong answers only).

At last! Now they've finally realised what AI is for, perhaps they'll stop trying to foist it on every other aspect of our lives

Love this – an excellent way to explore the work of Drew Struzan, actor by actor.

Darkness falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hands And grisly ghouls will take a chance To put some cobwebs on your pants And though the fear is on your face Your eyes, just endless flickers No mere mortal can resist The cobwebbed bat-shaped knickers

Got a new car on Friday. 1997 Opel Corsa 1.2l. It doesn't tell me when to change gear, how to park, that the engine has an unspecified problem requiring the expensive intervention of a laptop, and doesn't scold me about my seatbelt. And it has fewer than 50,000 miles on the clock. I love it.

Reposting with a #woodworking hashtag, because I forgot earlier. This is what happens when the previous apprentice doesn't clear out the dust collection for a couple of months.

Carpentry apprentice duties: today, a bit of light dusting.

I think it means that nothing gets her going like red flags

Wes Streeting goes down early on Christmas and nicks all the big purple Quality Street before anyone else can get them.

"I thought this was opening night."

Our runner ducks are growing pretty quickly. Seem to be doing pretty well at keeping the slug population at bay.

Good day for mortising some bed legs today. Fresh edge on the chisel makes all the difference. #woodworking

It goes even further. There is nothing you can give the far-right/proto-fascists/fascists that will satisfy them. No point at which they will think “OK, *now* we have the society we want so we can stop”. There will always be someone to crush under their boot. The only end-game is their defeat.

Found a decent bargain yesterday - looking round Decathlon for tent waterproofing spray and discovered they're selling Opinel No8 knives for 10€, cheaper than Amazon. I've never actually owned one and they're a classic design so I grabbed one. Comes properly sharp out of the packet, too.

Got a single induction hob last week from Aldi, to try out before splashing on a built-in for the kitchen. Witchcraft, I say. Boils water in under a minute. (please don't explain how it works, I'm happier believing it's elf powered or something)

Motorcycle Rebuilding, Lesson 101 - "How to deal with a stuck bolt."

*snort* more of this please

Haha! It worked! I scoped out the angle this morning and figured I’d be very lucky to pull it off, but it was surely worth a try, eh? #Edinburgh #RedArrows #Photography

🤣🤣🤣 I can't stop laughing at this. #menobrain

👋 I’m building a tool called Job Tracker Germany — a simple app to help people stay organized during their job search in Germany.

From this day in 2011.

First day of holiday today, so I built a duck run. The ducks seem happy with it.

I would love to have been there when Hilaire Belloc turned up at James's house in Rye "ragged, unshaven, shouting for beer, shameless ..... And what looked across at it was still the Puritan refinement of Boston;" - G K Chesterton's story www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/s...

I missed last week at college due to being ill, and tomorrow is the end term, so I had about 4 hours today in the workshop to build a hand-jointed step stool. Started with three pre-dimensioned boards, managed to knock out something that isn't pretty but does fit together properly. #woodworking

I am begging, begging Labour to look at the last five decades and realise that catering to the far right has never, ever won their votes or succeeded at making Labour “look tough” on immigration. Even at Blair’s peak, he was attacked for being weak on it. Please. Just. Stop.

Finally got a visiting friend to bring suet with them, so tonight was proper British pie followed by treacle pudding. Feeling especially patriotic now* *fat

It's my tenth wedding anniversary, and my wife has decided we're owning ducks. Here are the currently tiny ducks: Crispy, Quaxalotl and Sandman

According to ChatGPT they hated answering the phone just as much as us

Took young son for his first judo lesson, fortunately he loved it and had a great time. Back next week with the older group because he's enormous. If he gets properly into it I'll have to get training again myself.

Why not? Let’s do this. One like, one opinion that’s not on politics.

Latest college project, a 300mm cube cabinet of cherry-veneered furniture board. Door design my own, on veneered black MDF cut on the CNC. #woodworking

I've been reading Cezary's writing for over a decade, and his deep dive into an often misunderstood Batman villain is great.
