Waffley Versatile

Three gluten free fish fingers between two Birdseye potato waffles with some grated Gouda melted on top. It sits on a cream plate covered in pink flamingos. It was lush.

Ben Lomond at sunset from across the loch on the north western shore. Scotland in Autumn is a total stunner.

This wee man is snoring and running in his sleep. I need to get up but cannot move. I hope you heal up soon.

A tabby cat with white paws lies on his side on my duvet-covered legs. His tail is wrapped around him and every so often all his feet shake and he lets out a tiny snore.

Correction! The Actual Good Soup Maker In This House does have an Awesome Recipe for me to share. The squash gets roasted with olive oil, rosemary, and thyme. And you can sub vegan cream cheese for the creme fraiche if dairy is not your thing.

A hand written recipe titled Pooky's Awesome Soup. Ping me a DM if you cannot read it and you want the full list.

Screenshot because they keep unlinking quote skeets.

Skeetshot of Labour Walks & Cycles post "'Britain’s roads prevent many from taking part in active travel. These inequalities are not natural… they have structural causes. People don’t choose to not walk or cycle, they are excluded'".

Good Morning

The setting Harvest Moon, waning now, framed by tram cabling.

The view looking east from Ingliston tram stop. The morning sky still bronze from the dawn, the tram tracks swooping off into the distance.

Would you care for a game of Where's Gowron?

Bristol Temple Meads has the best curves.

Black and white photo of platforms 8 and 9 at BTM. A train sits, waiting to leave. The station swoops away to the left. In the distance you can see houses on the hill and clouds in the sky.

My brain went straight to this.

Have you seen the lowest and narrowest Fiats Panda? #WeirdCarBS

A Fiat Panda chopped off at the bonnet height that still drives (it holds the Guinness record for world's lowest car).

A 50cm wide Fiat Panda that can still be driven. The driver's shoulders poke out the window.

It's not all bad. Good morning!

Edinburgh Park station looking east towards Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat. The sky is the burnt orange of dawn, the sub is up but hiding behind the shelter on the right. A fellow commuter is strolling up the platform.

[Sean Connery 'Spanish' accent] There can be only one!

Me, sitting in my Sinclair C5 on the day I brought it home. I have blacked out my eyes for privacy. Text reads "THEY SEE ME ROLLIN' THEY HATIN'".

I saw this on Sunday and it made me so mad at the world we live in. Fuck everyone that brought us here. Solidarity with all my trans comrades. X

In the second panel the dog looks straight to camera and says 'Good lord'.

Helix the tabby glaring at me after very gently extracting myself from under the covers.

Lounging Buddies FTW! (My morning buttling is complete and I have been allowed to enjoy my coffee)

My cats lying in bed with me. One is lying on my lap and the other on sits to my left. I am watching some engineering nonsense on the you tubes.

Good Morning! #caturday #ProofOfCat

I am sat in bed sipping coffee. On my lap is a white and tabby cat, warming my ankles is a tabby cat who lost the lap wars this morning. The fourth member of the house is away for the weekend so I am getting all the kitty love. Winning.

The lowest form of poasting

The Amstrad E-mailer (stylised as e-m@iler in marketing materials and on the phone, or written as Emailer or Em@iler) is a personal communication centre that is a landline phone device, launched in March 2000. It's a small monochrome screen sticking out of a generic turn of the century office phone that also has a tiny QWERTY keyboard. I used one once. It was shit.

Dad worked for the railways his whole life. I had to go and check.

Screenshot of the Wikipedia page on Gill Sans. Text reads "Gill Sans was an immediate success; a year after its release, the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) chose the typeface for all its posters, timetables and publicity material. British Railways chose Gill Sans as the basis for its standard lettering when the Big Four railway companies were nationalised in 1948.".

GWR was one of the big four.

Are you watching it on a modernised Videosphere? (I would be)

A red JVC Videosphere from the 1970s. A red sphere on a red plinth with a CRT screen behind a clear curved screen. In a very Gibsonian turn the screen is tuned to the colour of the sky above the port.

Lt. Cmd. Data's Metal Hearts Club Band is all killer no filler

Painting by Jim'll Paint It, a version of the seminal Beatles album but it's all robots and androids from pop culture. I could list them all but there are too many. Sorry!

Incorrigible. No good can come of this.

The front wheel, swing arm, and steering post from an Italjet Formula 50 lie on the floor of my scruffy garage. The first round of Project Lowrider is going to be hilarious.

I took this photo as I went to bed last night. I needed to sleep but I wanted to get my hands dirty.

The front wheel, swingarm, and steering arm from an Italjet Formula 50 I just bought from a bike dismantler. My obsession with hub centre steering progresses...

Me: £5k is a ridiculous price to pay for a cycle Also me: Either of these would fix me. (And I would have £300 spare for a lock)

Advert for a Surly Moonlander 2.0. A 24x6.2 inch monster truck of a fat bike. It costs £4699.99.

An Ice full fat off-road recumbent trike. This one only has 26x4.8 inch wheels. A featherweight I am sure. It costs £4.7k.

I actually know one of the Borlands and she shared this photo of how it used to look. Of course in those days it was Radios and Cycles they sold.
