And another one, this is a different squirrel, you can tell because its ears are less tattered and also it doesn't know how to get up to the bird feeder so it just sits and taunts the cats

Agnes has made a new friend.

This greedy little sod has been scoffing all the birdseed we put out for the past few months, and is now probably more tame than this cat

Post-lunch charity shop find: original bonkers version of Mah-na Mah-na, 1977 repress so older than me, bit crunchy but plays ok.

B-side is a rather nice bit of instrumental 60s lounge/easy

Mysterious noise!

She's done it again, I've been sat here all evening but just as I'm about to go to bed she parks herself and settles down

Agnes would like to point out that it's a bit cold actually

The penetrating stare of a complete idiot

Just about to go to bed and this blasted animal, who hasn't even sat near a human for months, suddenly decides that *now* she absolutely has to go to sleep on my left leg. And I've run out of booze

The Wedding Present at our local venue earlier, actually proper bloody ace, no messing about.

@kittydorkling.bsky.social accidentally heckled David Gedge at one point, which will be an entertaining footnote to add to my memoirs.

Local charity shop acid result! Lurking behind all the Chris De Burgh albums I just found this '94 Plastikman remix of X-Press 2 for three quid, in ok nick. This is Musik era stuff, and unsurprisingly it sounds ace.

Quality crunchy bleeps from @5d3m.bsky.social for this evening's soundtrack

Sabres Of Paradise. Pretty damn good.

You've just died.

The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

Right! Two new liquid instrumental drum and bass tracks by me out now, links to all the streamers and stores as they update here: tr.ee/UywQ8lC4j-

All clear from the vets, no major injuries or signs of parasites, and Agnes is now about as relaxed as I've ever seen her. She has lost over 20% of her body weight though so we're going to have to feed her up.

Much better this morning. Agnes's big adventure has made her much more vocal, and much friendlier, you couldn't pick her up before, but now she can't get enough cuddles. Vet check up this afternoon though so she'll probably decide we're not to be trusted again after that

Still very angry with us but now full of food and apparently starting to fall asleep

Finally unpacking my old CDs after about 15 years in storage. Very glad I didn't bin them all like they told us to

Finally got to see* Autechre live last night. Went right down the front, nodded my head next to some very advanced ravers determinedly bopping along for the whole gig. 1.5 hours of unbroken mayhem, absolutely amazing.

*sort of, AE gigs are totally dark

Inside the pylon

(is the name of my next ambient techno EP)

Just back from a nice afternoon of pylon hunting. This one was having a little lie down.
