Parents just told me that the guy who came to service their boiler today was called Paul, and my dad had said “I’ll remember that as that’s my son’s name”… I then told them that I think the same guy serviced mine, and I made a similar comment about remembering it as it’s my brother’s name!

Thanks google AI but I meant to type “shut”…

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

A spiral staircase in a lovely concrete carpark. Out the top of the stair you can see the sky, Edinburgh Castle, and the Red Arrows.

Haha! It worked!

I scoped out the angle this morning and figured I’d be very lucky to pull it off, but it was surely worth a try, eh?

I’m south of the border for a few days (Newcastle)! Celebrated international cat day with a cat cafe visit, and now enjoying delicious Japanese food

I had one, who, after almost landing then going up again, in high winds, said “well, that didn’t go very well, let’s try again!”

Explosive diarrhoea in a sleeping bag

Is it a rule that every show I watch at the moment has to have a character called Elias? Because that’s 3 so far!

Ah yes, rec.arts.sf.tv was one that I spent a lot of time on!

Quantum Leap episode guides. Still have the printouts!

Nobody had actually taught me *how* to learn, having sailed through school pretty easily. I didn’t learn about things like spaced repetition, which would really have helped me, until well into my 40s

We’ll just call you the Storm Florist… 🤣

A red box on a fence. It reads Duck library From troubles of the world I turn to ducks FW Harvey

Inside of the library. There are shelves with ducks of all sizes on

Instructions - give a duck - take a duck

The duck I took has been placed outside cotterell lighting on causewayside

Duck library in Summerhall. Always up for getting involved in something like this #edinburgh #ducklibrary

A photo taken through the window of a train. The name of the station "Newton for Hyde" can be seen on a sign. Inside the train a piece of paper is held up to the window with a sketch of a bewigged gentleman holding up a sign saying "Leibnitz for Jekyll"

Nerdy joke warning. 😁 I've been planning this since I first saw the Newton for Hyde sign.

Feeling an irrésistible urge to view this rotated 45 degrees clockwise, as the UK!

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.

I’ve been to a Bastard Barista in Edinburgh!

A brightly coloured Mari Lwyd surrounded by flowers all made of fuzzy felt on a black velvet background, the horse skull in profile facing right with their white sheet and rainbow ribbons billowing as they dance

A little tiny postcard sized Mari Lwyd folk Fuzzy Felt finished & dancing her way to @skullsandsheets.bsky.social
for her charity auction later this year, which will be raising much needed funds for domestic violence charities

I do try to use a strainer, but there are days when I just don’t have the energy for cleaning it out

Spray-on sunscreen (the aerosol type)

Fillable tea bags for loose leaf tea

A subscription to The Simple Things magazine

A water brush for art on the go

Magnifying mirrors and decent tweezers for my bedroom, living room, workplace, and handbag

Tofu press

Extras of my two favourite vintage dessert spoons, the ones I’ve used for eating breakfast all my life

A little bag to carry all my bits and bobs around the house (books, pens, journal, etc)

High waisted knickers

I’m staring my own long thread of little things that have made me happier because they have made my life easier/better in small ways…

Marilyn Reid When working in a school office, I once saw an invoice for craft materials which included 'felt ass'

Loved this Facebook comment by my mum!
