If any of you die in the next 12-18 months I will not be carrying the coffin or writing a eulogy. I've had quite enough death related stress for the last 12-18 months and would like nicer things again for a while.

Would anyone have any interest in historical sketches like these (25quid or so per character?) Any period of history (absolutely no German ww2) - ww1 preferred. Just a feeler to see if there's any point advertising them at all. Got the itch to draw again

Given the national news, as someoen else pointed out: Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Writing a eulogy for your father. Where to begin? Feels like a piece of coursework that needs like 90% to be a passing grade. Pressure of mum's expectations. I've joked that my paused 9K word dissertation writeup would be preferable and easier. I'd like a break from death after the last 2 years.

For all the talk that suggests Death is punctual, they sure are keeping us in painful antici.... ....pation. It's really horrid. Big hugs to Acey for his love and support; particularly with his mother in law.

>cfz announce next year's theme >it's racing >fire alarm goes off immediately after >everyone does a lap of the car park and goes back inside Excellent writing as always, Kojima

This is a 800 year old hunting tradition from Germany. Hunters use a special instrument to mimic a Red Deers call. I won’t hold you, I’m looking at the hand work, and mouth placement…I’m been practicing Red Deer calls for a MINUTE lol.

Happy 1 year anniversary to my deer 🦌 💙💚

Chemo not having the intended impact. Pointless to do more harm than good now. 3-6 months to go. News was expected, but still a very bitter pill. 😢

With a little help from @acey.dog to accommodate my RSI wrist weakness, one Basbousa has been made. I do cut it into lozenge pieces, but don't add almonds.

Members of the OrthoDogs Church. :B

Okay, fine. This is the best thing I've ever seen. Also, @larryandpaul.bsky.social didn't FORCE me to give them my packed lunch — I WANTED to do it. youtu.be/Sh2laOqOk6o?...

Currently watching Daniel Foxx with Acey. Very pleased, as so used to his YouTube shorts and wasn't sure how the longer stand up would go; even though obviously knew he did it.

What loon puts 116hr event starting on Tuesday and expects everyone to check Tuesday to see something closes today? A little extra effort to put daily events would solve a lot of hassle. Especially as that approach has been used for other things. As a Uni Timetabler it upsets me professionally.

Skipping breakfast, then going to the disgusting food museum and completing the taste test challenge might not have been the smartest move today. Thankfully ample milk allowed once all 6 hot sauces are complete, with 9million Scoville rated finale.

Will be at NFC. Looking to escape the excessive rain and trade it for freezing temps and possible snow. Apparently I need to try a Kokostopp. Hugs to anyone helping make it a good time, before I plunge into dissertation writing alongside my return to work.

Particularly enjoy the site that last one leads to:

Reality sucks balls. This is not a happy Christmas, yet for one another we all partake in a collective delusion of normalcy. Expiry date 12 months max. Thankful for Puppy's support.

Well the big C is likely back and I don't mean Christmas.

Just in case, as it's the sort of shit they pull: www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

60 minutes spent finding some sort of relevant reference, to a book written in the 1800s by an Italian polymath, just to be able to make a one sentence statement. It's as much work again to reference everything as write the damned piece in the first place 😭

Spent the afternoon reading financial reports and calculating financial ratios. Coupled with gathering references for my points about the ratio analysis in my report. I know how to 'enjoy' my weekend. Very much not liking this module. The info doesn't stick easily, as it's dull. I'm no accountant.

Win 11 enabled. Eurgh, changes >.<

Glad my Pupper's feeling better, if only for the moment. Hopefully can try some new recipes this weekend. Nothing too outrageous, but nice mujadarah and harissa beans. Then vegetarian rice balls. May even finally try cooking the octopus.

An hour's gentle exercise (whilst watching Asian TV) burns off worringly small levels of calories. Better than nothing though. Will try again.

Put up new wallpaper in the guest bedroom... woof & deer theme seemed appropriate ^^

Dinner effort reaps reward.

Really hoping the weather cools for the weekend. I know the drive north Friday will be toasty, but I don't need to sweat my tits off in Sheffield whilst enjoying the Yorkshire meet.

Hmm? Frijj

To noone's surprise.

I spent way too long on this, but I love how it came out. Would appreciate seeing it get some love. 🥹 Three kobolds in a trench coat is my favorite D&D troupe. #kobolds #dndart #pathfinderart

Let's see if this doesn't get removed for Copyright XD Thank's to @djswolfuk.bsky.social for providing the visuals and recording from the night <3 youtu.be/VYsdic_Ha1Y

Had a nice time at the Peterborough Furs BBQ in the park - much love to everyone who helped make it happen 🥰 Was an awesome turn out, around 35ish of us. Good amount of cooked noms and definitely too much in the way of snacc and extras :D V hot day - a bit of rain, but it didnt cause any bother.

Sikhye, kimchi, ramyeon, with extras and some cheeky inari pockets. Time to settle down with Korean TV.

The mark for an assignment I did has just been released. Holy shit, it's 90% 😱

I love being a DEER and using a KEYBOARD! My hooves go CLACK CLACK CLACK and my keyboard goes CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK And words just magically appear!! The future is now.

If Eurovision isn't meant to be political, then when did they boot Russia for invading Ukraine? Strangely such rules don't apply to Israel, who must be protected from vehement antisemetic terrorist loving woke liberals such as myself. My critical thinking skills are so very dangerous after all.

Nerding out in Korean with Devil's Plan series 2. Really wish UK TV valued smarts more at times, rather than money or looks. Why should I care about the vacuous lives of Z rank 'famous' people.

Getting ethics approval is so awkward. I just want to send out an internal questionnaire, but it all has to be open, transparent, and approved, if I want it to be viable work. Submitting today doesn't even guarantee me a yes prior to the end of the month - or potentially end of June if queried!

Oh no! My finger slipped and I've accidentally leaked a redacted screenshot of my playlist - how clumsy of me 🙃

Now you're playing with portals 🦌

Unsurprised to find people moaning about Genius Game being too complicated. Clearly explained rules apparently a bit beyond the average ITV viewer hoping for another Love Island reality TV show on a Wednesday night. I'm biased having seen the original Korean show and the Devil's Game on Netflix.

Me and @deerbitz.bsky.social, after 15 years together, indulged in some romantic admin and made it official today <3

I'm old and Acey's blue. We're after a new sofa, so perhaps we can borrow sixpence?

Do you think the people who existed as the Roman Empire crumbled realised it was happening? Are we seeing the USA fall? 'May you live in interesting times' is quite the curse. 'May you come to the attention of those in authority' and 'May the gods give you everything you ask for' are worse ones?
