You know, I've never seen the world in a grain of sand.

I like the assumption that we have conversations in real life...

Opened the front door and two massive dogs came in, said hello and ran off again into the snow. That made me unbelievably happy! I’d rather have strange dogs showing up rather than people. πŸ˜‰

That sounds a lot like an algorithm to me.

Just saw this excellent photo of a Glasgow High Street chippy from the 70s on the Lostglasgow FB page and felt the need to share it.

Not yet. It's on the wall, it's all plumbed in, the pipes are done and the valves have been replaced. Tomorrow the electrician arrives to hook the whole thing up, including Hive, so it'll be bang up to date and running. Quite excited.

This is our new CEO, Javier. I have officially adopted him. He is estimated to be 8 years old and he's deaf, so there's no need to give any feedback on his job performance. He is just a perfect gentlemen and I am so grateful he made his way to me. 14/10 no bias at all

Cartoon of the back of a car with some people visible inside, driving into a town. There is a sign that says "WELCOME TO MUSIC, pop 3470". Below it is a sign saying No U Turns. Someone in the car is saying "Where the hell are we?". The caption says: GREAT MOMENTS IN POP HISTORY, No.78 Sister Sledge

I'm just staying out of the way. My dad would always annoy tradesmen when they were doing stuff.

Yeah, the whole heating system's been overhauled. Boiler, pipes, thermostat.

It's been great fun so far (even though I didn't see Dark Matter straight away, much to my embarrassment).

I'm just hanging about, really. I need to go up the hardware shop ran by The Very Old Man for another gas bottle because the Spark won't be here until tomorrow.
