Waiting in the hottest waiting room ever for a Sunday CT scan. Wish me luck 🤞

I think corporations need to be better at saying to their R&D people that their ideas are horrible and they should go home right now.

new metaphor just dropped

Coming around 2the fact that avoiding #gluten is something I need 2 take seriously. I had no bread today and I feel full of energy. always known it's been troublesome but with the bloating too it has to stop somewhere. I will have to make peace with the fact that if I do have it, I will feel like 💩

The Choral was a bit of a mixed bag of a film. Screenplay by Alan Bennett, written and directed by Nicholas Hynter. The plot was all over the place. Acting was 'Sunday Evening Drama' standard. If you haven't seen it, listen to Elgar's Dream of Gerontius first which features heavily in the film.

Here's the Palm House in 1899, when it stood at Reed (Streatham) Hall, on what today is University of Exeter's Streatham Campus! It was moved to the Imperial in 1927, but you can still see the chimney from the heating system in the garden today. 📷 EUL UA/P/1b/4r #UniOfExeterArchive #Archives

So @bsky.app decides to implement an interesting social media strategy. Instead of courting potential new users on Threads, nah, just insult them instead. The comments are mostly made up of Bluesky users deleting their account because, fun fact, people use both.

Today's mission is to see if the recycling centre takes old tins of paint. I think they do but something tells me that it's not going to be as straightforward as that.

Get ready #devon and #cornwall it's going to be a doozy... #exeter #plymouth

Time to sort out my cooking skills 🫠 open.substack.com/pub/ofmicean...

Has Bendy Urnum saved British politics yet?

Is your #Linux Distro woke? 🤦 Oh who f**king cares... But apparently some people do. www.reddit.com/r/FOSSbertar...

We had chips last night. Air fryer, hand made. Using a certain amount of potato starch and some soaking really raises the game of your chips. It doesn't elevate. It improves them considerably. I do wish everyone would stop using the word 'elevates' in the context of food.

If you like Feeds and you live in #devon or have any interest in Devon, then the Devon UK feed is alive again. bsky.app/profile/did:... @uniofexeternews.bsky.social @countyofdevon.bsky.social @exeterobserver.org @indivisibleply.bsky.social

Today I opened a box with fizzy water inside. I used a craft knife and managed to slice the side of the bottle open 🫠

I've dismantled the ball pit. Our dog has his own ball pit because he's a nob and won't entertain himself.

I have a substack - I have written a sort of introductory post about the last couple of years #cancer #braininjury open.substack.com/pub/ofmicean...

There is an musician called Jelly Roll... 🤭

One of the most important days of the year 🖖

Currently sat in Morrison's car park waiting for the mobile one to finish shopping. Highlights so far include a Morrisons van driving into a gate, multiple loud conversations by couples shouting across the car park berating each other and many non-blue badges holders using the blue badge spaces.

*snigger*

I feel it should be mandatory to have a takeaway from an independently owned establishment on a Saturday night. When I rule the world, it will be enshrined into law.

Watching 'A Very British Civil War' on iPlayer. What a bunch of cnuts.

I've downloaded the Wendy's app and now I feel dirty.

In #columbjohn nr #exeter is a 24/7 Farm Shop that's just opened. I visited it and bought some bread and a brownie. I have lost the brownie.

I'm going to have a small rant. ʀᴀɴᴛ

Booing the president isn’t going to get you anywhere, lads. Be more French.

Obligatory lunch photo

I've lost count of the day this cold has lasted 🫠

The everything bagel must feel overwhelmed by the weight of impossible expectations.

Currently trying to vibecode my own Bluesky client. Apparently my brain felt this was more important than doing anything else. Like washing up.

Danes Wood, near Exeter have better foxgloves than your mum's.

Since seeing the sleeve art of Bummed by the Mondays and thinking, "Hang on, painting might not just me for my dusty Old Man", I might have been looking at it all wrong - form and planes not lines?

He's not that tough really... the dog, that is.

Loving the guy outside our flat hoovering their car at 11:19pm, is really living it up on a BHW

Does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the size of link cards appearing on the TL?

Cold turned to a raging torrent. Can you have a snotnami? Yes. That is it.

The dog is currently going through cold turkey with his ball addiction. Had to do an intervention. I feel for him.

Oh look, a cold 🤧..yay

Tonight we're playing 'Will Deliveroo Get The Right House?' I'm betting not. Despite the address being right. Hoping they can tell the difference between a house and a flat this time. 😬

Richard Dawkins believes that thunder is made when clouds bump into each other.

Last night in #Cornwall and as usual I can't wait to return. Stumbled into a 'locals spot' in Laneath Village Hall just outside #Looe, #thetipsycow Thursday is burgers night. And boy they do a good #burger 🍔

Cornwall for a mini staycation ⛱️

The humble sausage roll has a surprising history! #foodsky #foodhistory #video

Lost at least two followers because of my Gregg's Chicken Roll review. Wait until you see my long protracted treatise on The Big Arch. Oncologist appointment this morning. Possibly MRI scan results too. Bleugh 🙃

🧵Greggs is the Reality TV of the bakery world. Difficult to understand the appeal, yet people keep finding reasons to watch — mostly out of morbid fascination and habit. Cheap, acceptable, purely functional. I was completely addicted to their sausage rolls when I worked at the college, so (1/6)

I'm writing silly videos. I think it's for my own amusement more than anything. This is about Danes Wood near #Exeter - there are a lot of AI created bits, so yeah 🤷‍♂️

I feel I should say more about geopolitics. I read enough about it. But I genuinely do not know what to say that hasn't been said before.

Quick update: MRI this afternoon, moved up from 30 April so it doesn’t clash with holiday. Nothing urgent. CT scan and oncologist Tuesday too. Big medical week. Head down, get it done. Fingers crossed the stats stay on my side for a while yet.
