I am single crewed tonight. Not great. Not terrible either.

I’m a bad man. Just watched this YouTube short of Ana from AK Interactive and have had to slap myself round the face to avoid writing “SCORCHIO!! 🥵” in the comments. youtube.com/shorts/CEn2f...

I got a parcel! It’s a second 3 drawer storage cube designed to fit IKEA Kallax units. I got my first one to store my Citadel Layer paints ( I refuse to call them Warhammer until all my labels say that 😡 ) but instead found it brilliant for my Pro Acryl collection. Shout out to Sphere Products 🤩

since Warhammer makes up about 75% of the UK economy & most British bank notes will go through their tills at some point anyway, why not just stick Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh & Nurgle on them & be done with it? Fuck it, reintroduce £100 notes, stick rat boy on it & that’s wildlife ticked off too

If you see this, post a robot.

Omg 😬. In the training room at work chilling, listening to music. Found myself dancing like this

How I feel when someone blocks me

Package from @mightylancergames.bsky.social waiting for me at work this morning. A big thank you to SG for the picking/packing

This week I’ve been researching my own early years. Taking advantage of my Dad’s help in filling in gaps.

Treason! Orf with his head!

My work colleague who is a remarkable individual and a complete force of nature, has agreed to make me a Fair Isle pattern jumper. Chose the style. Allowed her to choose colours and patterns (complex 1, simple, complex 2, simple and repeat). Mates’ rates.

Ah well. Only another 4 weeks till payday. #skintalready

Siri is being a complete bitch to me this morning. Five times I’ve asked her to do a 15 minute countdown and three times I was ignored, once I was plain told no and finally she acquiesced. I’ve wasted two minutes writing this out too.

Not sleeping well post night shifts (as usual)

It’s Penguin Awareness Day which seems like a great excuse to post the greatest ever Wikipedia edit.

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

The racist cartoonist dying has mad me realise it’s been 30 years since my all time favourite strip ended. All credit to Mr Watterson

I feel significantly cleaner now I have actually deactivated my twitter accounts instead of just leaving them dowmant. #fuckElon

Came into work on Friday night to a wee surprise parcel from @mightylancergames.bsky.social

Had my blood pressure medication doubled this morning. At the same time I’m happy it’s moving in the right direction. Diastolic regularly under 90mmHg. Systolic…meh but not 😱🤯

First @mightylancergames.bsky.social order in for January delivery.

Just found what I thought was a quite cool poem hidden in my iPhone notes app. A chirpy cheery cadence with dark matter. Turns out it was notes I made on my eldest’s mental health when she was 13/14 years old 😢 Not to be published 🙄

I need to share with you all that I am very, very drunk. I’ve had a thoroughly fantastic night out at the A&E / Ambulance Service Xmas party. A. drunkest I’ve been in 3 years. B. a real eye opener to see people in very high pressure jobs let their hair down. What a night.

Realising I'd given up bringing in minis and paints to work, especially on the night shift, because 1. we are far too busy at night and 2. it is far too cold if i accidentally leave the paints in the car to freeze. Well guess what, I've done nothing for the last two hours and it is really mild out.

Back at work after 7 days off. Total achievments: Minis or vehicles assembled 0; Minis or vehicles painted 0; Sphere Product 3 Drawer Kallax Storage Cube Assembled 1. I call that a victory of sorts

Hey @mightylancergames.bsky.social my delivery today had no signature on the packing slip. Who do I blame for the perfectly picked and packaged order 😝.

I was this many seconds old when I realised that John Gordon Sinclair (Gregory’s Girl, Local Hero, Fraggle Rock and much more) played the SEAL Team commander who escorts Brad to Korea.

Are we squeeky clean @profanity.accountant ?

Spouse and cocker spaniel Ziggy are singing together. I’d record it for you but I’m hiding. 🫣

So Scooter, my eldest’s fat Jack Russell was much worse this morning. Took him to the vets where he was found to have a temperature but no obvious reason for the rapid onset of apparently cerebral symptoms. Apparently dogs don’t do strokes.

My Fat Jack Russell ™ is very unwell. Vet diagnosed epilepsy. My thoughts are closer to a stroke. He can’t weight bear and is struggling to keep food down. Will update tomorrow

Working up the courage to contact victim support. Still haunted by an unprovoked assault on duty 18 months ago. Last December perpetrator was a no show at court. No contact with the PF office to update me yet he is still out and about in the town where I work

I have just tried to use the find my app on my app watch to try and locate my spectacles 😕. Needless to say it didn’t work. But I’m sure someone could design a tiny unobtrusive rfid tag for them.

I’ve been wide awake for 2 hours now and it’s gone 7.35am. I should get up and take my morning meds but I’m so cosy, I’ll probably disturb the dogs and therefore the whole house will be woken. Another half hour won’t hurt would it?

I solemnly promise that after watching Traitors and Slow Horses this evening I will make, undercoat and paint at least 1 mini.

So it turns out that despite various insults to the contrary in primary school, I am really, really, really Scottish genetically. 93% Scottish (51% Central Scotland/Ulster, 34% Hebrides/Western Highlands, 8% NE Scotland), 4% Irish (Donegal/Leinster), 2% Dutch, 1% French.

On Sunday I took the two youngest up to Edinburgh to meet up with my father for a light lunch. We went to Two Children in Stockbridge where No. 2 Child works but never announced ourselves to either the staff or him (apparently he was working the grill that day). Really enjoyed it.

Downloaded Dragonfly, a Mac app for BlueSky. Not free but what is these days. Hoping it will work for me.🤩

Just seen the BBC refer to Sharm El Sheikh as a quiet coastal town. WTF? Anything but quiet.🤐

An interesting story but where does Alice Cuddy come up with the idea that Bottrop is “near” the Dutch border. It’s 45 miles and over an hour’s drive away. Like saying Oxford is near Westminster www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s 40mins into the shift and no work yet. Guaranteed way to get a job is for me to fetch some minis to make and paint from the car.

Just discovered my colleague got a GOC 1st Armoured Division commendation for his actions in the first Gulf War. He saved the life of a US soldier and tended to 2 others in an overturned Humvee.

TRON Burgundy (1976)

A House Of Dynamite. A film already out of date before it’s released because the fuckwit-in-chief and his cronies fucking about with all the structures that were in place prior to 2025 🙄

Does anyone use the Apple Journal app on their phone. I’m really not sure of its purpose other than a private diary.

Still searching for the holy grail of mini model paints. This weekend will involve Pro Acrylic.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).
