Today I made red lentil and tomato soup. There is also a tomato and basil pasta sauce reducing away. #sundaykitchen

I'm absolutely fine with West Ham and Leeds battering each other and running themselves into the ground. Makes for an interesting run in for relegation. #youreds

This has the same impact as the Pale Blue Dot.

This is sad news. Denby Pottery going into administration. www.denbypottery.com/pages/save-d... #savedenby

The great Pacific Northwest nailed the assignment (1/2) Seattle

Sound Transit 2 Line opened, and it was awesome. Mariners fans going to the game, folk returning from No Kings, folk just having a ride. #soundtransit

Don Letts playing a monster Greg Dread mix of The Bottom Line, which seems to be unreleased and called "Overture 40". What a treat.

Made my morning.

If @SoundersFC win in Spokane, do we still get Jingle Bells?

Proud of @WeAreECS for standing up to Concacaf and their tomfoolery.

@ricardoautobahn.co.uk The boy is teaching his friends about numbers stations using Cuban Boys source material..

Sent a mail to the board of REI "Make me fall back in love with REI"..

I called my elected reps again.

Never tire of this.

Snow service has resumed in the Quah. Power is on, which is a relief. #issaquah #wawx

Power back on in the Quah.

Power out in the Quah. Hopefully not a long outage. #pse #winterstorm #issaquah #wawx

Woo and Yay. Masters in Management and Leadership is done.

Fun things.

F1 on Apple TV - Phew - I can choose the Sky commentary.

FP1 was better than expected.

Ordered the new Heavenly, expecting the usual shipping delays. Instead it's here in moments from Portland. Well that's a win. Gig in June too. @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social

Listening to 1988 era House of Love.

Back from travel. Berlin Film Festival was so good.

Manager number four of the season, Forest win away in Europe, is this the turning point of the season?

Nigel for Forest manager.

Highlight of my day, was finding the lost thumb drive that had snuck into the lining of my laptop bag. It's the little things.

Fireworks a plenty.

I don't love ticketing platforms. Currently on my list - eventim - their identity/auth API seems to be broken.

Sounds like a win - win for Obed and the Sounders.

Just tried leaving a message for @murray.senate.gov and her voicemail is full. Keep calling. Keep leaving messages.

Get yourself the 5 Calls app, make it part of your weekend routine to call your elected representatives.

Masters writing day. Annotated bibliography. Tedious. The very fine Mr Don Letts making it bearable.

Quiches, dinner, chickpeas ready for hummus, three masters papers and an exam done. Productive weekend.

Productive Saturday. Wrote three papers for the Masters (!), prepped for a cert, helped the eldest with a bunch of Python, and now making dinners.

Listening to Don Letts from the weekend. It's the best of 2025 part 2, and it's sublime. Happy dance while making dinner.

I ordered a pre release LP in September, the US release has been delayed four times already because of tariffs and the like. :/

Watching the youngest travel home from afar. Snow in the Netherlands has severely disrupted flights, trains, and buses.

Haha. Jetlag meant zzzing through all of the fireworks.

Flying in to SEA, lovely sunset and the mountains were out.

Be safe WA folk.

Listening to this absolute banger. @theslowreadersclub.bsky.social

£3.40 for a stamp to send a card from the UK to the US! Eyewatering. ($4.50 equivalent)

Two hours left of the day, five inches/124mm of rain since midnight. #wawx #issaquah

Looks like the river gauge at Hobart, on the Issaquah Creek, is going to hit 9 feet, which puts us in Phase 4 flood. Stay safe out there. flood.kingcounty.gov/river/4/ #issaquah #wawx

When customer service works. Double billed, call, and it's fixed.

Someone is trying to sell a New Order Substance gatefold for £2000 on discogs..thats crazy.

Almost 50mm rain since midnight. It's still raining! (that's two inches)

The warm front certainly came in. Windy, very wet, and it's warm outside.

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more." Los Campesinos:
