@scifinch.bsky.social that’s what it did to me, I can’t wait to try again but horizontal. Have fun up in Scotland. How far are you going, for long?

It’s sunny and calm and balloons are going past. Unusually low and close, and the shadow of one just passsd my flat. Was like a micro eclipse

Apple TV is in screensaver mode and just stuck up a picture I forgot I took of a new cycle path in Bristol. Brace yourself. It’s so close to being good, but then

@scifinch.bsky.social did you have a cabin? I went to Edinburgh on the sleeper once but had a seat (it was so hard to sleep)

@af excellent, he’s the best

Finally watching the final of celebrity traitors. I’ve avoided spoilers cos yous are great at cw and I’m a bit or a hermit

Is bbc iPlayer flaky on Apple TV for everyone?

2012 Bao Feng Xiang Ji "Gong Mei" White Tea Cake This is entirely 2012 spring harvested Gong Mei White Tea from Fuding area of Fujian. It was aged in a clean/dry storage condition until it was pressed on April 10th 2018, and

Just made myself a huge pot of https://yunnansourcing.com/en-gb/collections/compressed-white-tea/products/bao-feng-xiang-ji-6-years-aged-gong-mei-white-tea-cake I forget how lovely this tea is. None left on the site so better make this cake last.

I accidentality ordered an iced tea instead of a hot tea, still really nice but I don't need ice-cubes today, I want heat.

@af ooo *immediately sticks this on “big speaker”*

The future is going to be this isn’t it, constantly fighting with robots? All I want to to is register for Ikea van hire - which I’ve used before ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

See? https://steedbikes.com/collections/single-speed-bikes/products/thoroughbred-woodland-green-single-speed-bike but I think I might cyclescheme this one https://www.boardmanbikes.com/gb_en/products/2344-urb-8.9-2021.html I’ve been super curious about belt driven bikes but they aren’t very […]

I’m looking at bicycles and I think I found one, but now just been tempted by a single speed. I used to have a fixie and loved it but I’m not sure I could cope with the inconvenience of one gear anymore, even if I can freewheel. They look so good though

So far hot and stupid. Good

Watching Bros

Maybe Spain, France, and the Low Countries could be convinced to join a more sensible time zone for their longitude

*35min for EU countries, they spend about 7 months ahead of standard time. In the US they spend closer to 8 months so their average would be 40min ahead

DST shit take. Daylight average time. UTC+0:35 all year round.

I can’t sleep and it’s now half (past) six. I suppose given how right now would have been 0730 until today, I could get up, sigh

@af ah drat

Cartoon showing two hills. First scene: "hey Frank" (hill 1 to hill 2, while hill 2 has a castle on top of it) Second scene: "what?" (hill 2 to hill 1, while hill 2 has a full-blown modern city on top of it). Third scene: "nevermind, you had something on your head, but it's gone now" (hill 1 to hill 2, while hill 2 only has a bunch of rubble on top of it).

Geological timescales FTW

Just ate a whole focaccia from local bakery clearly meant for sharing

eg you wouldn't want to accidentally wear the name or number of a homophobe (unless you're starring in a triga production with the intent of sending them a copy I guess) and I can't think of much worse than a real fan trying to engage me about something I'm cos playing

If you like cute well-designed puzzle games Chants of Sennaar is 33% off on Steam today, strongly recommended

I wonder which will last longer. Watch workout, watch strava, or phone strava. There will be lots of pauses but out all day and would prefer a single record.

So this about just over 7g in a pot that fits two mugs (so about 650ml ish). Boiling water on top for *whatever* length of time. It'll survive. When I take a mug out I'll top up with boiling water. Already had two mugs out of it. I should start counting really. It is delicious and I know will […]

Want: Nike TNs
Need: Supportive running/walking trainers

Crossing fingers it’ll be on rte player
