100% this. Even if the episodes begin in audio podcast mode, there is inevitability image creep that comes in and by the end it sounds like the audio from a video.

“It’s still hungry … and I’ve been stuffing worms into it all day.”

I've been pleasantly reminded of the finest record ever.

Well work today. Glad its over and I got a day off in lieu is the best I can say about it.

Happy Christmas everyone.

I'm having a quick Coffee in Southport, half an hour until I pick up beloved daughter from work and we head back inland to a nice and quiet just the few of us tomorrow.

Product Design Meeting. “…and you’re absolutely sure that’s where you want the tap to be placed? “Absolutely” “You don’t think it looks a little…penisy?” “No”

Forgot that I didn't pick up soluble aspirin yesterday.

Well, happy anniversary to one of the finest of festive exchanges

An impromptu gift from M. i. L. in the week between my birthday and that of the little baby Jesus.

100% agree, it is a fabulous piece of work on BBC Sounds.

Just back from Southport, wishing darling daughter a happy birthday. Curtains shut, feet up and twinkly lights on. I'm done for the evening now.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords seems increasingly appealing as a basis for a system of government.

Turning up in my Facebook memories, and it’s a crime not to repost.

Knackered, its been a loooong and disrupted week of lates topped off with an unexpected mortuary visit today. At least I got to give my lovely little team their presents before disappearing. Weekend off tho to bob over to see daughter for her birthday.

I'm lying on the settee in just the same pose.

Celebrate the approaching solstice by listening to my Folk horror audio drama 😈🌙

My eyes have been horrifically busy at work today & combined with slightly wonky glasses in the process of getting the lenses re-done. I shall bid you adieu before my stinging eyeballs pop out and roll away of their own accord.

Tree's up. Just got to tidy the coffee table now.

SAFC 1 - NUFC 0 It's been a long time coming and keeps the streak of beating that lot in the league going.

#SundayPixWings Well wing, you'll have to take my word. For it there was one on the other side of the plane too 😉

Very sad to see that Gary Rowell has died. One of my earliest football heroes when I was starting out going to games, watching him banging in goals for fun in Sunderland's early 1980s teams. We all lived in a Gary Rowell world. RIP.

Busy day here today. I have to go out and get my new glasses adjusted soon, then back to some very intense lying on the settee listening to & hoping Sunderland beat Newcastle(*) (*)It would be a fitting tribute to Gary Rowell to win 4-1.

20 seconds of Mavis having a giddy fit

Home a bit early for a change. Shoes off & curtains shut. The outside world no longer exists until tomorrow when I need to go out to get my new glasses adjusted.

absolute bargain if any of yous have a use for 7,949,020,598 wasps

Mavis and Bertie doing typical Mavis and Bertie things.

Sounds more like an insult than a biscuit. Either way I'll pass thanks.

Gets my vote.

#NationalArboretum open late (ticket booking required) through most of December for its #Illuminated trail. Excellent and well worth the trip.

There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in, but they're ever so small that's why rain is thin.

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

@littlemavis.bsky.social happy birthday.

You really should. It's an excellent, gripping 2 parter, acted really well by the cast.

Anything is worth a try, I'll give it a bash tonight

I just nearly liked my own post. Socially so inappropriate I'd have had to leave Bluesky & go to live on one of those isolated islands where the indigenous population are allowed to kill visitors without legal comeback and hope they never found me.

Hello American friends and fellow UK insomniacs. 4am and all is mostly quiet. I sleep even worse than normal after a migraine. My stubborn brain still won't play nice with me. Think I'll pop off downstairs and surprise the hounds.

Lovely

Properly resurfaced from a 2 day migraine now, the last bit that feels like someone standing on a plank on my head has now lifted.
