Good morning.

Moby - Future Request (2026)

I was about to remove this from my collection, until it started to really grow on me.

The second half of this album contains amazing deep introspective material in which the piano is the main element.

Up at wee hours because kid is sick again

My day ended up having things in it. This was not at all what I had in mind, especially not the entire hour I spent on the phone. There will be matters arising. The gardening I'd planned for tomorrow will turn into a Thursday thing. Tomorrow will be the day of indolence I wanted today. Never neglect the need for indolence.

Estate agents are such parasites aren't they

I'm loving the new petty trend of disrupting AI recipe blogs.
There's a whole genre of idiocy that involves some very busy "food influencer" setting up a tool that allows users to list the ingredients they have at their disposal and ask the AI to make a wholesome meal out of it.
But the AI tool has no concept of any of the meanings of "taste", and you can lead it further astray by posting glowing reviews of the abominations it has suggested.

Slept really poorly last night after a few days of thinking maybe the sleep thing was getting better.

I don’t know if it’s the HRT or the GLP1 to blame but I felt crappy last night so went to bed early with a really dodgy stomach.

Woke up exhausted, decided some electrolytes would help. Balanced my breakfast on the cup.
Got all the way to the top of the stairs and spilled my porridge all over the landing.

So fatigued I had to sit down and have a little cry before gathering the energy to clean it up.
I want to go back to bed but I have a lesson in an hour or so.

This mornings very quick gaming done. Done all I need to do in Cozy Grove, finished my weeklies in WoW (signed a guild charter last week for someone, been kicked from the guild overnight - ha! No biggie, I play solo anyway),

Time to dive down to the chemist, see if they have meds for me, or if I am going to be deprived of meds for a while, that will be fun.

After that, if I am feeling very brave, I am going to visit a "create and chat" morning, where I can take along my own project, or work on something they provide. I'm not a hugely social person and this would be well out of my comfort zone, but I do need to try and be around people again.

Bus is in 10 minutes, so I really better get my ass in gear.

Wish me luck!

I like the odd Prince track. I don't really like most Prince-influenced music. I think today's a Dandelion Radio day. #bbc6music

Good Morning! Beige blessings be.

#Today I will be studying. Yesterday I only got a small amount done due to health issues and getting all up in my own head about them. I am hoping that I get more done today and that my body behaves itself.

There'll be a dog walk later, and some crocheting. Other than that I will be trying to eat healthily and letting myself rest when I need to.

How's your day looking?

In an unexpected turn of events I washed up, cleaned the entire fridge and we now have a cheese drawer.

Test. Please don't look at this toot

#MorningAll & #TZAG G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!

Tuesday has arrived in deepest, darkest Yorkshire as part of its come-back tour! Sadly not making a good impression first off with an over cast & not especially warm forecast.

No plans for today other than chores.

Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day #Today ! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

With all due respect to everyone involved, I do not care about Tim Apple or his replacement John Apple, and am slightly annoyed it's a lead story on almost all news outlets. I remember when tech industry news was contained to special publications or a Saturday afternoon special lighthearted bbc news segment. I don't need to know this stuff. The only thing I'm interested is in how much tax they're paying now. That should be front page news every day. The company is currently valued at $4.01 trillion and yet their horribly convoluted tax payments have regularly fallen below 1% for their global subsidiaries. Whilst they claim this is made up through their overall tax bill (which is compensated in the States) at something like 24%, this has been heavily disputed with back taxes of $14 billion being ordered by the EU Court of Justice paid in Ireland in 2024. However their revenue in Ireland 2025 was $235 billion, so these numbers are meaningless to them. To put it another way - if you are lucky enough to have a thousand dollars saved in the bank and the tax people come along to tell you there's been an international incident with you massively underpaying your tax bill despite raking massive profits out of the country and you have to put it right - that'll be a little over $3.

STICK THAT ON THE FRONT PAGES YOU GHOULS
