I think 1'53 is one of my favourite moment when all hell's breakin' loose and we see some powerful living rocks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NIB...

Just what you need at the end of a day like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NIB...

From the CWS Archives. 19th December 2021.

It's that time of year where I need to find where on earth I've stored the hot water bottles.

Yeah. Tempting.

Just spent an evening at a recruitment event for the production team behind #Nottingham #Climate #Assembly 2026 and I'm very tempted. Have left my details.

The sky and weather are the definition of "grey" this morning. In a way it's comforting; winter is here. It's time for cosy evenings, hearty food, and plenty of wine.

Good morning, #vegans. Fad internet #plantbased diets are out of fashion, and this was perhaps inevitable as that fad didn't emphasise the moral argument for #veganism which goes far beyond the plate (but often starts there). The point isn't clout but compassion. Solidarity. #fta

Oooft.

Absolutely soaked.

I want an external HD to store images. Is this a terrible idea? Should I purchase cloud storage or stick to physical media? #tech #nerd #techsupport #advice #help #TechHelp

Today I drafted a Data Protection Impact Assessment for the first time (23 pages) and rewrote a 17 page risk assessment. Also got a senior manager to use the correct Web form for something. Everybody please clap.

Yesterday evening I invented the cheese, garlic and cranberry baked toastie and I am so pleased with it, it's happening again tonight.

Hot shower had. Reasonably early night ahead, with Radio 4 comedy on loop to sleep by.

I'm sure I could do a butternut Wellington. Half a butternut, flavoured and roasted thrn wrapped and baked. Sigh. So many ideas, so little time, and so much for one stomach to eat. Animals should be safe at our side at Christmas; not on the table. #vegan #veganism #fta

Good morning #vegans 👋🤗 Thank you for being a tireless voice for incarcerated, exploited, silenced animals 🙏 Thank you for being the light in their darkness, the ray of hope in their heavy hearts ✨️❤️ #VeganForTheAnimals #RubySheep #VeganForHer #AllLivesArePrecious

Oh Nathan, we so agree. Solidarity with other vegans (in our team, but also in the wider #VeganCommunity, & among our lovely supporters), togetherness in trying, trying, trying to be a voice for suffering animals, warms our hearts & literally keeps us going on the dark days 🙏🌱🤗

Good morning, #vegans. It's really warming to have your company, at least virtually. Day to day life can be rather isolating being surrounded by values that seem so cruel. Let's do the best we can.

#RubbishDeal Any firm offering to dispose of waste must have a Waste Carrier's Licence. You can check these here: environment.data.gov.uk/public-regis...

It's a cold day, but reasonably bright.

Papa Nathan has been talking a lot about "when the time comes" for the last two years, and it's exhausting. Every day he says "I'm getting rid of x", be it books, furniture, crockery. He is now sending me photographs in the post. Mostly of me as an infant and child. His decline is painful.

Found this in a box of #Transformers sent by Papa Nathan. #cats

Good morning vegans. Let's do the least harm we can today. 🌱💚

I haven't worn matching socks for about ten years. If you like wearing matching socks, that's great too :) There we are.

Chip butty & salad for din-dins.

I own neither an ironing board nor an iron. This has been the case since 2014. If you enjoy ironing, that's absolutely fine. :) You do you. There we are.

Time for a long hot shower and a lovely evening in.

Ravage is released and says "Happy #Caturday." #transformers #toys

Cutthroat and Blot. Blot has to be one of the least satisfying toys ever. I mean. Whut. I did like the #Terrocons, though. There is a Rippersnapper somewhere in the boxes too. #Transformers #toys

Battle-scarred #Sparkabots. Maybe the Undead took their toll. Guzzle and (?)Fizzle. Fizzle still sparks. Actually. I have a memory that they were Sparkler-Minibots, not Sparkabots... #transformers #toys

Oh dear. Poor, poor Cy-Kill. #gobots #renegades #toys

Sometimes I do love the internet :)

Micromasters. The Sports Car Patrol? I'll have to check the names. #Transformers was *very* busy with new releases by then. 1989, 1990? #micromasters #toys #decepticons

I remember finding #Tailgate in a school jumble sale in about 1989. #transformers #toys #g1

Powerful living rocks. I have a pink gnarlie somewhere (no sniggering at the back). #rocklords #gobots #rocks #toys

This was all the rage in 1986. I don't think it's an official #transformer, however, more a playground fad. Might have come from #Diaclone? No idea. #toys

Having a pre-Christmas clear out? Don’t get caught out by a #RubbishDeal If you hand your rubbish over to an unlicensed waste carrier – and they dump it illegally – YOU could be held responsible. Protect yourself and your community. Say no to a #RubbishDeal.

You can't get shitter than a Brexshit shitter.

On #WorldKindnessDay, here're some #plantbased cakes for the people. #cooking #baking #community #socialeating #vegan

Sometimes you gotta stuff a marrow. Good food is the very least we can do for each other. #socialeating #plantbased #community #cooking #dignity

In fact, I might make some nice wheaten bread to toast in my new toaster while I play with the new toys.

ANYWAY. New toaster today and another box of toys arrived from Papa Nathan. Toast and toys. What a nice way to spend a weekend of bad weather.

And home. Will not be leaving the flat until absolutely necessary.

Doing backstroke to work this morning.

Good morning everyone. Proper wind and rain today. Very pleasing. Cosy weekend ahead I think.

Absolute banger. #vegan #plantbased #cooking #baking #tart youtu.be/QwQqaalir70?...
