I made a little sea glass display for @walkyouhome.bsky.social like a coastal bower bird

I was asked about my favourite things for a handmade birthday card from kid 1. I sang 🎶 thousands of guillemots tied up with string 🎶 and got exactly that on the card

I hope after this crime I'm still allowed to go to Italy next month

And then I came home to the most wonderful present - an Acer! I enjoyed having one years ago in another life, so it's lovely to bring one into this life.

42 today, so I took myself out for a little lunchtime treat.

A fancy fish finger sandwich and a little half pint of lager

A selfie of a 42-year old man standing by a canal. He has a slightly windblown mop of ginger hair, a little greyer than it used to be, and dark blue glasses. His face is happy and friendly, and perhaps a little rounder in cheek and jowl than he'd like it to be. He's wearing a red and white stripy tee and a tweed blazer with a small gold croissant lapel pin.

You might think, as his wife initially did, that he looks like a Kaiser Chiefs indie lad but that's not the case. He's more into prog rock and metal - really anything where some aspect of the music (volume, bombast, musicianship, beats in the bar) is turned up to 11.

He looks satisfied with life, in the manner of a middle-aged man who's taken a long lunch break to have a fancy fish finger sandwich and a half pint.

It's much more concise than the last terrorism diagram I saw, I'll give it that much.

I saw a clip last week of a woman who made the lowest-effort sourdough bread - just mix it without even weighing the ingredients, leave it overnight, then shape and bake the next morning. Turns out it works.
