I have at various points in my life habitually carried the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Art of War and The Way of the Samurai as useful life reference tomes. #artofwar #h2g2 #life.

I was meant to be leatherworking today but had a very restless night running a work problem through my head. So I woke up feeling rough and have managed about an hour fixing security cams and working on the studio so I can start drumming again. #studio #caudapavonis #injuryrecouperation

Latest loaf made Thursday. Bread mix plus 160 water and 176 milk (to add flavour). Also 10% extra milk because it’s drier than water. Who knew. I do now. #breadmaking

A brilliantly busy weekend, which has included more Swedish Death Spring Cleaning. @jackdawlady.bsky.social has made a successful and great tasting glutton free loaf and I’m on loaf 3 or 4 of the year. This one made with milk. #breadmaking #lifelaundry

The last of ‘last years’ parsnips. That balance between storing them in the ground and not having them bolt. Please it’s use of a cake tin as a home for them post cleaning #reuse #gardening #gardeningwainwright

There should be an upvote button on eBay for 'your price for a piece of bullion is taking the piss' #ebay #bullion

We are, for better want of a description, ‘Swedish Death Spring Cleaning’. #springcleaning #lifelaundry

Tonight @jackdawlady.bsky.social made a more than passable (read as ‘not to my taste’) gluten free loaf. I made my second loaf (as needed) which looks to have sunk in the middle but is still cooling. Taste test and analysis tomorrow. #breadmaking

People shouting online about MTV leaving UK services but less face it, it’s been mostly reality show rubbish for the last 20 years. I miss what it was but not going to miss what it is now? #mtv

Taste test last night. Win! But a very little spongy/doughy in the middle. Toast test this morning seems ok and some of the spongy/doughy texture seems to have gone. May have used the wrong loaf size on the settings meaning different phases of operation were too short or too long. #breadmaking

First loaf of 2026 in an attempt to waste less by creating what I need when I need it, supply on demand as it were. Taste test to follow. #breadmaking

Up at night with indigestion. So much for an early night. Waiting for solutions to take hold. The cat is interested in why I’m awake so soon.

Sometimes a little Christmas is enough. I mean there is a cat and mice. #christmas

The moment you have to move yourself at a concert because some bastard has decided to wear all of last Christmases deodorant and perfume in one go. #ludo

Whilst my mother was in hospital towards the end of her life in 1982/83 i used to commute from Telford to Wolverhampton with my brother Michael. I’d be dropped off, eat breakfast at home and then walk to school. At school day’s end I walked home to a cold house and then driven back to Telford.

Apparently the early morning noise was in fact some form of chainsaw cavalcade as the neighbours in the next street are having their garden re-landscaped. Just what we need to be surrounded by. Ignorant waterboard and ignorant contractors.

The sound of our first Christmas without dad who died earlier in the year. We were invaded by family and it felt false and forced. I was 10 that Christmas and only 9 when dad died.
"Mull of Kintyre" was at No. 1 on 5 Dec 1977. It was written by Paul McCartney & Denny Laine in tribute to the Kintyre peninsula and its headland, the Mull of Kintyre. It was Wings' biggest hit & is one of the best selling singles of all time in the UK. #PaulMcCartney #RIPDenny

Day 4 of roadworks. They have continued into the street behind us and tarmac cutters instead of heavy drills punctuate the mornings dawn chorus like a couple of angry giant wasps. Apart from the unexpected visit from the gas board who were convinced the water board had cut us off, all’s quiet ish.

Burst water main up the road. I suspect no sleep tonight as more and more equipment arrives.
