Back up in teuchter country touching grass with Betsy. She insists on touching it with aggression 😂
Back up north to look after my special floof for a couple of days. She says hi 👋
one soldier remains for the photo shoot 😂 raspberry interior turned out nice and colourful which made up for the brown bread shells
Aah thank you Emma! 🥰 Am really not great at it but the process is fun and if it works out then there is sugar for all! 🥳 (really must make a deep-fried toffee apple again this Hallowe'en)
You should! I made my sister's birthday card with felt tip pens and I genuinely enjoyed it 😅
Decided that I was going to start trying to be a bit less soft and squishy. Did 20 minutes with my hitherto doorstop and wow I didn't realise how unfit I have become. Turns out shaking espresso martinis isn't adequate upper-body exercise 😭
okay best attempt so far! they don't have cracks, got a wee bit of rise and are generally circular. shame about the colour though. :(
Macaron attempt #6 is go! Batter is thinner and they've piped generally circular so I'm optimistic 🍀 🤞
The circus is here. 1. Unnecessarily noisy 2. Vicarious fear of falling to my death 3. A reminder of how physically inadequate I am 4. Clowns 5. Clowns again for emphasis But I'm still tempted 😅
in case you were wondering my official generated Wu-Tang Clan name is Fortunate Tiger so you can call me that or Daniel I don't mind either way
Et voila, an all-purpose protest sign for everything 2026 has brought upon us
Mundane one really but for me it was the Kinetic water fountain at McArthur Glen shopping centre in Livingston. Always loved watching it spinning and spilling out water when I was a wee lad, and reminds me of family holidays 🥰
Just had an El Nombre flashback. Does anyone else remember him? What a guy.
Ballsed them up again, folks! Made shortbread instead and that all got eaten today which helped my self-esteem 🧑🍳
Macaron attempt 4. Burnt the buggers and they're still irregular but they have a nice rise!
Back visiting for the weekend. Pleased to see Betsy's decided to wean herself off the cigarettes.
Thank you! See also: icing/ketchup/blood diagrams. idk what student reviews are gonna look like 😅
omg I've taught Databases for six semesters straight! 😮 Have you, pray tell, carved an E-R diagram effigy into a block of cheddar? (doing my best to keep databases interesting 😭)
Never give soy sauce to a sad person. It's wrong to Kikkoman while he's down.
Got my new frames today which has made me happy 🙂 idk why my upper lip refuses to give way for my teeth when I smile but I guess it doesn't matter
It is Graduation Week at Dundee Uni once more! Always a lovely time of year. Dorothy is graduating with her PhD for new research into the healing properties of looking at hedgehogs 🥰
