Scary parking garage monsters Pittsburgh, PA

I spend most of my days either looking for my slippers or one of my laptops.

We saw Alan's splendid talk online - and wonderful to see it in a place as lovely as @innerpeffray.bsky.social !

Feling sein.

Judging by the aroma, the LNER snack bar is serving microwaved wet cat food.

It amuses and intrigues me that the automated lady on the LNER train has a more accurate pronunciation of Kingussie than the automated lady on the ScotRail train.

I seem to have blundered into a major police incident in Hunter Square on Edinburgh earlier this afternoon. Anyone know what was going on? (I Iegged it).

Currently on my way to visit a friend from Kirriemuir. Small (social media) world.

Let's all email the Lego CEO and ask exactly how much he needs to live an enjoyable, secure, and satisfying life.

I didn't forget to get off at Haymarket. Huge thanks to @andifluffkitten.bsky.social and others for their support.

Don't forget to get off at Haymarket. Don't forget to get off at Haymarket. Don't forget to get off at Haymarket.

I think someone has just spilled a bottle of mint listerine in the train carriage.

If you read one thing today:

That horrible time is upon us now, when we Icelanders are forced to watch spring starting to arrive in other countries but we still have about 3 months left of winter.

The same pattern is present in the sites I studied in the Strath of Kildonan- a little bit of disturbance is a good thing, and margins are the bees knees.

When you find a bell ringer named Nathaniel Bell, and a Town Clerk named Thomas Clark in one folder of papers, you start to suspect that there may be something to nominative determinism after all! 🗃️
