I spy with my little eye
a Koi-cloud swimming in the sky.
I also noticed a faint face of Medusa… or maybe you see something else?

Meet my new work-from-home assistant! His name is Timian, and although he's currently just a trainee, he secretly plans to take over the entire empire, even if he doesn't understand what that means (but it sounds very cool).

Best wishes to all from me and my family.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
May 2026 be a proper upgrade in every way that matters.

Our little girl Lilo is watching her first Ghibli movie (“The Boy and the Heron”), propped up on my leg for safety. This is from the part when it got *really* weird. “Seriously, Daddy?”
Oh you sweet summer child, just wait until we get to “Howl's Moving Castle” 😉

25 minutes into “Moonfall”. If this was a “spot the science error” drinking game, I'd be in the ER already 🤣

Steady buildup of space weather activity through the night, and I'm confident that my Thursday feeds will soon be full of beautiful and spectacular images of auroras. Sadly mine won't be among them; firstly because it's cloudy. second because it's daytime here.

Someone just described himself as “A follower of Christ and our beloved president Donald Trump”.
But this doesn't physics. If a Christ particle and an Antichrist particle met, they should instantly annihilate each other in a flash of energy so bright that even the follower of both were able…

Rather will I read a book that is born through the sweat and toil and torment and love and dreams and intellect and perseverance of a human mind, than one chugged out by a soulless automaton.

As earworms go, this one is far from the worst to wake up to, even if it's just the chorus on repeat. So here's the whole thing (whilst the CD is playing on the HiFi).
“Walkabout”, Nik Kershaw, “The Works” (1989)

House still at the same address, car not stuck up a tree around the corner, dog (size S) merely *almost* airborne on the last walk. So far we're doing okay 😊
Amy is storming in to give us a good blowing. So far tonight it's mostly heavy breathing, but guess who'll be in the wet spot tomorrow.

Pro tip: When you call a tech support line, you do not—and I repeat, you do NOT!—start the conversation with “Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord Jesus?”

I'd be far more impressed with your extra luxury sized bus if instead of an extra foot of headroom, I could get a couple more inches of legroom.
Sincerely, six foot four.

Bus smells: Someone is drinking beer, and quietly keeping it to himself. Another has gas, and is quietly sharing it with everyone. And somewhere nearby there's a woman who doesn't understand the concept ‘too much of a good thing’.
And for all that I know, they may well all be the same person.

If I tell an American that I'm about to walk out into 29°, he'll caution me to dress up for the cold. Well, we do °C over here. I'll be dressing down as much as is legally advisable.

Those moments when you're standing in line at the supermarket, impatiently waiting to check out your groceries, and then your thoughts drift to people in Gaza getting shot dead by Israelis whilst waiting in line for food.

According to the latest update, it's a coin toss whether the new monster arrives late today or some time tomorrow. The edge of my seat is in dire need of reinforcing as I pass the time with industrial strength waiting.
Just got confirmation from the courier service that my new computer is on its way. All I have to do now is check the delivery status every thirty seconds for the next few days until I have it at home.

No fancy meme, just me saying that I consider it everyone's right to seek happiness, love, purpose, and fulfilment, in whatever way or form as they find right and natural for themself, regardless of gender, sex, or orientation, as long as it is between adult, consenting equals, and harms no-one.🏳️🌈
