Pablo Cheesecake

Limited edition gingerbread Pepsi has caused a festive rift in this household. Truly it is the Marmite of carbonated beverages.

Maybe just 15 more minutes

I should be up with the lark and off to the gym. That said, this duvet does feel mighty cozy right about now.

My little sister's latest work of art. It's mental and I love it. Much like her to be honest.

Annoyingly, I have to work this weekend.

Today's soundtrack of choice - Assassin's Creed Shadows by The Flight

Radishes, tomatoes and potatoes

Our little garden continues to deliver. Today's autumnal harvest radishes, tomatoes and potatoes.

I was wandering across campus yesterday, on my way to a meeting, and a student stopped me and said "I love your look". Still not sure if he was drunk, high, taking the piss or genuine.

Maybe I am more rock and roll than I thought I was?

Tattoo recovery day engaged.

Thigh tattoo was quite the experience. I expect there will be painkillers before bedtime. The good news is that there will be at least one more 3 session to go.

More tattoo-related nonsense this weekend.

Cardigan weather today

Tempted to purchase Ghost of Yōtei but I'm still knee deep in the midst of Hell is Us. Perhaps I'll wait a bit.

Pondering spinning up a new website. Its been over 18 months since I retired The Eloquent Page. I think its high time I got back to what I'm good at, positive waffling on the internet.

Gym done. Blood test done. Breakfast done. Now time to spend the rest of the day loafing around aimlessly. That'll do pig, that'll do.

Booked my next tattoo appointment. This little fella looks awful lonely. Might just have to remedy that oversight.

Mere hours away from a week's annual leave. You just know that today is going to be a long-ass slog of a day.

Tron Ares soundtrack purchase

Yay! #SoundtrackAnorak #TronAres

Apples

Mutant apple

Peeled apples

Apple-ageddon round our way today. I look forward to both the pie and crumble apocalypse.

I got my 1st tattoos as a rebellious teen. They were terrible. Put me off for decades. Wasnt till I hit 45 I decided to try again. Havent looked back since 😄

Enjoy! I always get excited when I get new ink.

To a soundtrack geek, such as myself, next Friday should be a whole load of fun. NIN Tron Ares soundtrack will be unleashed. I suspect it will be a bit of a banger.

I bought a new jumper, it must be Autumn

@alasdairstuart.com @margueritekenner.bsky.social The boss asked me to pass on a huge thanks for the thoughtful gifts. Hope you had a wonderful time in the US of America!

New tattoos. I apologise in advance, one is a little bit saucy...

Couple of new tattoos yesterday so it's feet up and relaxing today.

Saw The Life of Chuck. I can appreciate it may be cinematic Marmite. Some people won't go for the raging sentimentalism. Personally, I loved it. It was beautifully bittersweet.

Tattoo nonsense tomorrow. Hurrah!

OH has been saving up for a new gaming PC. I feel myself coming down with a serious case of tech jealousy already.
