Skiffer, vice captain of punting, weirdo, all round useful person. Not much tolerance for idiots and Tories. Neurodivergent in some way.

This is half of the base for my workshop.
It’s gonna be a big workshop.
Can’t wait to install an old sofa and a coffee table so I can just sit and enjoy the possibilities… 😁

I’d love to say something erudite and scathing, but I can’t get past my brain screaming β€œWHAT A CUNT!!!” on a loop.

I am now a company director.
Bamboo Full Stop Ltd is a real thing.
We even have a website, but it’s hidden for another couple of days while I tweak it a bit.
But bamboofullstop.com is all mine!
Already got work lined up.

Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, just announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.
Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.
It made us sick. We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example

Not everything. They’ve thrown an MP in prison.
Alcohol is not the answer, though…

I have unilaterally decided it’s just too bleurgh out there today, so today is now happening tomorrow. Probably.
If anyone needs me, you don’t.

I can recommend having a cupboard close to your usual lounging spot, ideally within reach, that contains a selection of your favourite foods.
Consider it self care.

We’ve had a seal rock up at the skiff/sailing club.
This is a long way from the sea.

Just remember to remove them from the paper sleeves first.

I mean, it’s not like it wasn’t utterly expectable.
This final season of The USA is still gonna be a hell of a ride.

None, they use gaslight.

I am a fairly reckless gambler, and even I wouldn’t put money on that remaining the situation.

So, what happened to your leg, and how was it cured?
I’ve got a bit of numbness that’s worrying me a wee bit…

Was discussing my options for a replacement car with a 27 year old, and he was surprised I was looking at larger capacity engines.
I told him that was the one advantage of getting old- the cost of car insurance goes down a bit.
3.5L Mercedes E class, in case you were wondering… 😁

Amazing the difference Christmas and the subsequent shitty month can make to a persons wealth.
I’m not skint, but I am now motivated enough to start listing clothes on #Vinted 😊
I’ve listed 3 pairs of jeans and just sold 2 as a bundle for Β£70.
Now, where’s those snakeskin boots that don’t fit…?
