New work boots. Extremely comfy, but ugly as sin. I'm only a size 8 so not used to wearing anything this chunky. 😕

Playing around with the modular Corvette ships in No Man's Sky. This is a bit of a clunker, but has great Hyperdrive range.

😮

Bloody eczema! I could do with some stable weather...at least it's fairly mild this time. 😡

Finding questionable salvage in No Man's Sky. 😅

Version from the first film done...need a break before making the DeLorean from parts II & III. 😮‍💨

Day one done for the Lego DeLorean...all my joints are getting stiff from sitting for so long! 😆 It's starting to look like something at least. 😁

Treated myself. Smiling through the pain of how much this cost. 😬 At least you can make the DeLorean from each of the films. 😁

Today's fun Vinted find. 😆

Been getting over a nasty eczema flare up. 😮‍💨 It would be nice if I didn't get it from stress as well as environmental changes. At least the epaderm ointment works well...no longer scratching myself until I bleed. 😅

First proper power wash of the patio in a few years...we'd forgotten how pale the slabs actually were! 😆

Little easter freebie from Lego. 😁

Apt film to turn up when you are working the Bank Holiday weekend (cus it's all a bit shit) 😆

Niece or Nephew number 12 due in December! 🫨 Not sure how I'm the only sterile one when all my siblings are fertile as fuck. 😆

Trying to resist the urge to celebrate my pay-rise by splashing out on the Lego BTTF DeLorean. 😎

My new reading lamp has a breastfeeding mode.🫨 That'll never get used...unless, Angie? ...She said no. 🫤

Time to start series 2. 😁 Hopefully I will get less erotically charged dreams involving Paul Darrow & Jacqueline Pearce this time. 😳

Lovely spring weather today! 😆

Out for lunch in the lovely village of Stone. One day she'll order something other than fish & chips...that day is not today! 😆

My mum at 14 proving my terrible sense of fashion is quite possibly hereditary (it was 1970 in her defence). 😆

Upgrades. 😁 At least I know the Plus 1 works now! 😅

Best part of moving the office into the box room is being able to keep a nosey eye on what's going on in the street. 🔎

Tried the vegan Kimchi Shin noodles today. Surprisingly tasty. Probably helps that it's not very spicy unlike the other flavours. 😋

Home alone so doing some deluxe lounging. 😁

So Good Smile are bringing out Moderoid versions of Armored Fleet Dairugger XV (Vehicle Voltron) & Gatchaman Gatcha Fighter this November?...I've never got hold of the original toys so it's going to be an expensive month for me! 😬

Two weeks in a row! 😁 I've started to call her Angie the bag lady...it's not been well received. 😆

Pair of new (old) micro books. Could not leave them for £3 each. 😁

Only took going up & down stairs 20 times to move the library...think I've got my steps in for the day! 🥵

Sorted out the pc desk. Bit overdue as I found Windows 98 driver discs & gaming headsets with all the foam turned to dust! 🫨

Bookcases cleared & cleaned. Just need to get these two 5 foot 10 hefty boys down a step flight of stairs solo 😬...oh & then get my big pc desk upstairs too. 😮‍💨 This'll be fine!

Found an unopened Beast Wars Scorponok! This is the modern version from a couple of years ago & not the original 30+ years old one (It hasn't been quite that long since my last tidy up thank you!) 😅

In the process of a move around & having a dedicated reading nook. Best part is finding books I have no memory of ever buying or reading! 😆

How many Dingbots is too many? 😆

M...m..m.m M.A.S.K!...I know these modern reproductions have some issues, but should be ok as display pieces. 😁

Bit wet in town. Joys of living on old marshlands. 😆

The wonderfully awful extended disco version of the Count Duckula theme. 😆 youtu.be/Mwc2SsGUpdU?...

Nobody knows how to vanish into the either at a shop the second my back is turned like my Wife. She can't even move that fast these days but is somehow 3 aisles away within seconds...do they make those child harnesses in adult sizes?

Good old retail...as fun as ever! 😵‍💫 Busiest weekend of the month & we had 30% of the staff we should have thanks to two people leaving (that's 60 hours down) & a recruitment & overtime freeze...not like we had record profits last year & over Christmas or anything! 🫩

Well, I've never had a cold like this before. The cold symptoms are fairly mild but, I normally have a slight temperature...not with this one. I cannot get warm. No fever or chills, just feels like I can't get me body temp up. So if I am zombie patient zero I can only apologise in advance.🧟

Yep...saw this coming once Reform got in. ☹️ Even the Tory led council gave out the grant for the last two events.

Electron update. Thought I'd try reflowing the solder before replacing the switch on the dead 'R' key. Luckily that worked & we are fully functional again! 😁

Keyboard swapped...lovely & responsive except for the 'R' key which is totally dead. 😟 I'll take another look at it tomorrow.

Gave that cheap untested Electron a try before removing the keyboard...it's not a happy customer! (I'm not really surprised). 😑

Just ordered an 'untested' 😬Electron from ebay so I can hopefully get the keyboard on mine working again. Worth the risk for £30...probably.

Day no.4 without any social interaction apart from Angie...definitely needed this downtime. 🙂

Gobots! 🤖 Been a slow year for collecting these.

Omnibots! 🤖 Nearly finished the domestic UK run. Just need to find an affordable Omnibot-JR & the annoyingly rare Hootbot.

Unexpected week off as I need to use up holiday time! 😁 Might be time to tackle the disaster that the spare room has become (this is the 'good' side 😅).

I was promised something 'wild' for new years day...only slightly disappointed. 😑

Last pick-up of 2025. A somewhat play worn Police Robo or Hans Cuff (if you prefer the Tonka pun based names). 😁
