Wallaby mum and her joey outside my kitchen window this morning.

Sorry @decryption.bsky.social, this is one of the few times I can’t back Norths. Better luck next round.

Doomflower by @jendiagammon.bsky.social just arrived. Looks like I know what the next book I’m reading is!

I am in this and so are many talented people.

Yeah, but the ones I’ve had had so much sugar in them that Coke is comparatively sour.

Yep. I had a USB one of these plugged into my computer at work to keep the brew true.

I’ve tried, on several occasions, American iced tea, but have always gagged on the sugar content.

Smash it down, but sometimes [heresy alert] I’ll give it a zap in the bomb box.

“RECALL” by @alanbaxter.bsky.social just arrived in my letterbox. Looks like some happy, cheery, and uplifting reading ahead ;)

Love me some classic prog-rock.

Look at what’s just arrived in my audio book library!! “Future’s Edge” by @garethlpowell.bsky.social

Precious thinks daddy’s reading chair is the comfiest chair. Though I don’t think @alanbaxter.bsky.social has made a convert of her ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

This is why I will never trust AI.

Ahhh… great memories.

Finding a hand painted card in the Monday morning mail from @jendiagammon.bsky.social is the perfect way to start the week.
Thanks J ♥️🥂
