Goals for 2026: 1. Don't die. 2. Err.. 3. That's it.

Here's my egg/cocoon planter in a more photogenic colour.

3D printed house plant pot, 15cm tall. The wider saucer is intended to contain some gravel etc, the narrow one stands alone. From my own design, inspired by something I saw on-line which was too small & lacked drainage. Won't be planted until next week as nursery is closed until 5th Jan. 1/2

My phone says it's Monday but it doesn't feel like Monday. It doesn't feel like any other day, come to that.

Brexiters didn’t win the argument in the first place. They bought brexit with a criminal overspend using stolen data, targeting undecided voters with millions of lying dark ads. They lied throughout. Not “losing the argument”; voters seeing the lies for what they were thecritic.co.uk/brexiteers-a...

Make a Bond movie casual. From Russia with regards.

Happy Thursday to all who celebrate.

So apparently there’s real medical research suggesting dark chocolate is a useful treatment for chronic fatigue. I’m willing to give it a try.

This looks like a shockingly incompetent attempt at cover up. Governments usually good at this sort of thing. news.sky.com/story/images...

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? (Looks like I’ll be ok).

Wishing everyone in the northern hemisphere a warm & cozy winter & everyone in the southern hemisphere & warm summer.

I accidentally made my favourite fidget toy while experimenting making 3D printed threads. This went through a few iterations to arrive at a knurled finish & a 22mm thread. Overall 30mm diameter & 50mm tall. #3Dprinting

I was today years old when I learned data centres are also known as bit barns. ‘Bit barn’ sounds better to me.

I’ve had my buss pass for 9 years and have never used it. Wondering about giving it a try. Downloaded Traveline Cymru and Traws Cymru apps to see what’s available. For the same journey they give completely different results. Which one do I trust? (Buss pass available from age 60 in Cymru).

Be nice to folk working in retail over the "festive" season. It's hot garbage (been there, done that) and you can make a tiny difference by not being a cunt. #BeeKind

WFT have Apple done to the iPad & iPhone keyboard apps? All sorts of annoyances, including correcting start of sentence to lower case, also gets lost spell checking a word after I start correcting.

Gave up trying to reset my meet-up password after 5 image captchas. I'll let the account expire. When they ask 'select all squares containing a bicycle' do they want the shadows as well? And the rider? Image with 1 pixel of the end of the handlebar?

Sounds about right.

I first tried a buzz cut decades ago when male pattern baldness first arrived. I didn't have a beard back then. I think the cut looks better with beard.

I had planned a trip to Carmarthen to restock my fridge & freezer. Having second thoughts — Afon Towy always keen to overflow.

Bet365 CEO Denise Coates paid herself £277,000,000 this year, and £410,000,000 in 2020. This was more than 20,000x the Minimum Wage that she paid most of her workers. The betting industry needs to be taxed, heavily.

I was considering subscribing to Netflix for a month as they have some stuff I'd like to watch. Crikey, they got expensive. Might still subscribe for one month only.

As usual, the Amazon driver had been ‘4 stops away’ for 10 minutes. When he’s here, he spends several minutes searching his van for our order. Sure I’m not the only one who can think of a better way of doing that job.

Everyone needs to get off X. Now. Government. Politicians. Your Aunty Judith. All of them are fueling this racist extremist billionaire

It's my decade long held opinion that many on the Brexit right are not really voting about migrants or EU membership or any of the other crap they purport to be about. They're voting against other people's joy.

Noooooo! Just walked into the communal lounge & the princess of pop is playing on the radio. I’m out #Whamageddon

Christmas fair in Llandysul yesterday. Seller had home made Turkish delight rocky road. They looked 😋 so I asked for 2. Nice lady put 2 in a box handed them to be and asked for £6. Thinking it rude to back out this late in the transaction, I bought the most expensive & delicious snack ever.
