This is our dog's après shower stare. Although from my perspective it's the post rolling in fox shit stare.

Just had to age verify for something that I couldn't VPN around. Frankly... Not especially shocked this worked.

Also, the black toner is running out...

I swear this dog could detect cheese being taken out of the fridge from miles away. In his sleep.

Here, he is in his standard begging stance, sitting, one paw slightly in front of the other, ears at half mast.

Don't know what this accusing look is for, he's the one that rolled in fox poo, I didn't want to spend my morning giving him a shower.

"Daaad, can you fix things?"

"Well, I like to think I... Why what have you broken?"

Had to get the magnifying glasses out for the microscopic flat cables, and use the tri prong screw driver bit for the microscopic screws.

Anyway, it's back together now.

安心しているけど、建物が心配している。

This is the most ridiculously extravagant orchid I've ever seen (cymbidium earliesue), and somehow it's in our house, the palliative care center of the plant world.

The tube I get on a Wednesday morning runs something like every 90 seconds, and if it's delayed they close the entrance barriers to prevent crushing.

Frequently I'll see three trains before I can get on one.

It's not much better in the other direction:

This is a nice touch

I think someone at Vodafone needs a holiday.

I guess at least they've finally sent me an actual bill, rather than a threatening letter about a bill they haven't sent me.

Think I might need a break. Just spent half a minute laughing at this exchange.

(She = Laura Loomer, but that's not important)

Well, I guess at least Vodafone have given me a good laugh today.

Fucking Vodafone.

I cancelled the account.

THEY wrote to me to say that they had cancelled the account because I haven't paid the bill (nerfing my credit score) for the non-existent account.

And now they're sending me bills I can't see and can't pay because I Don't Have A Fucking Account.

Lunar eclipse (Phobos) as seen from the surface of Mars.

From 2022, but it's the first time I've seen it.

Nice colour matching with the radiator.

I wasn't convinced by fancy wallpaper in the downstairs bathroom, but with some flat varnish on it's lasted better than the mold-resistant grout.

OH birthday cake arrived frozen and packed with dry ice.

Half dog, half bat, 100% pain in the arse. Weirdly unfussed by fireworks.

Just opened the dishwasher after a few days away in the deep southwest.

Thought my hotel room was unnecessarily cold.

This is about 2 meters above my head.

Thankfully it's motorised.

God that thing is unbearable. Do people really want that kind of sickly affirmation? Or is this just a bit of American culture that doesn't translate?

You just need to zoom in a bit:

As long as live albums count...

Back in for ShitKid though. Not completely lacking in musical taste.

The dog has gone to sleep in the kitchen rather than listen to 酩酊麻痺... More of a Taylor Swift fan I expect.
