More veg for prepped for dinner - fairly healthy day so far. My have to correct that later with some wine...

Lunch was spicy and satisfying.

Welcome to my parents' house. Your sister has brought her naughty dog that your kids hate. Don't go outside to the WWII bomb shelter with your phone to hide from your aunt. Do you mind putting this heavy box of school work in your car, that I have been holding onto for a few decade?

Profiting from poor hygiene?

Morning Bskyers

It's getting close to lunch time and I am hungry.

We seem to have reached a peak with software that means that unnecessary features are being added just for the sake of it. I complained about emjoi/reactions in Outlook and discovered that when people react to a support ticket email, it creates a new ticket titled "X reacted to your message"...

"Microsoft has cut its sales targets for its agentic AI software" "And that is because very few people actually find them useful" "AI agents failed to complete tasks up to 70% of the time, making them almost entirely redundant as a workforce replacement tool" www.extremetech.com/computing/mi...

Red sky at morning, eye of Sauron.

Good morning all

In retrospect, using AI to translate the signs, was a bad idea...

Everything is self-service these days...

Happy Monday...

This is a song for those that are overwhelmed, it is a belter and gets better as it goes along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDAC...

When I was a teenager, I liked her for some reason - the guiltiest of pleasures for my friends to rib me about... www.youtube.com/watch?v=HevE...

Sometimes, the solution is simple.

Dogs let a couple of large animals into the house while the owners are out to dinner...

Hmm, I just need to buy another screwdriver so that I can unlock this one.

It's a cat's life.

Dave is an engineer. Sorry, Dave "was" an engineer.

I'm sure everyone was delighted to have their heads messed with on the morning commute...

None shall pass.

Why did they add emoji notifications to Outlook? Now instead of a reply to an email to say "Thanks, that's what I needed", you just get a thumbs up emoji in the notifications tab...

The electrician was getting closer to God in more than one way...

Nothing like a bit of town planning...

At least one of them is there for the beer...

I am spending time here and relaxing for once. I did so much prep work today that my next meeting is at 4pm tomorrow and I don't really need to do anything before that, so might stay up and have fun (unless I just fall asleep because that can also happen).

Don't be so judgemental... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPrZ...

A slight shame that the golden winter sun caused a lot of reflections on the glass, but here was yesterday's view for the afternoon. Added the view in the opposite direction to illustrate the sun!

Had an amazing lunch yesterday with unlimited starters - I was quite full by the end. Scallop dumplings and crispy prawn rolls were a couple of highlights, also spinach and mushroom dumplings were tasty.

The cat is not out of the bag.

Happy Friday...

I think Asana is trying to mess with me this morning. The title of an email says Friday, but inside the email it says Saturday...
