Holiday Bin Timetable in effect from today. Mixed recycling bin day here. No sign yet of the binmen, hope someone's told them about the new timetable. Hope they're not scared of the dark.

Catching up with the BBC4 about Bod. Every time I saw Bod it was always the episode where he's thrown his apple in the air and it won't come down until everyone else throws their apples in the air together.

Late night walks in the neighborhood can still have some good views. The original Christmas lights adorn the skyline along with the Big Dipper.

Did my food shopping tonight instead of the usual Thursday and the what-day-is-it that normally permeates the Christmas holiday has started early.

If you haven't seen it, treat yourself to the official music video for Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, which Brenda Lee released at the age of 78, featuring her lip synching to the song she recorded when she was just 13

I'm sharing this here, as I have on Facebook and Instagram, but there's no account on here to share from, and I just think this is wonderful.
A really good balance of design and implementation, and appears to achieve everything it set out to do, and it *SO* appeals to my inner 'work nerd'.

Well that was fun in a not-fun way. Had to change the batteries in my thermostat (for only the second time ever) and when it was all back together there was a new symbol flashing which I'd never seen before. But I put it in the fridge to cool enough to set the heating on and it came on as expected.

Dream last night: I was in town with friends and we saw Taika Waititi & Jermaine Clement. They were in town for ADRs for a film & went out to meet fans. Taika agreed to my request for a selfie with him but the images only showed him, not me. Does this mean I was the true vampire all the time? 🦇
