It got snowy outside, but not quite as bad as predicted. I still had to bundle up and get out, just for fun. #1 you can see a flock of robins whose murmuration ended in that tree. In the last one, you can see the snow plow. Almost everything is closed, side streets are fncked.

Last nights supper: southern fried chicken with colcannon on the side. Colcannon is an Irish side dish made with mashed potatoes and cabbage, though we prefer spinach in ours.

Kahlua was sitting on her chair, keeping an eye on us last night. That's her chair, no one else sits in it, and it's the only furniture she's allowed to sharpen her claws on. My daughter calls that "skronking."

My best kilt has purple in it. No particular tartan, it was made up, and it's nice. This is me rocking it years ago when I was clean shaven and had a pony tail.

I take a lot of photographs in the rain. This simple, very affordable device makes it easy. I had never heard of them until my best mate gifted me this one; a proper camera raincoat.

I love this song. I love its message. And I love Costello’s tone of defiance. This is the message and tone for our times.
