The choice of these stock photos and the badly edited in products are particularly hilarious to me. It's for an Axolotl Squishy

Two photos at slight angles.

The photograph on the left has a caption "Release stress" with a laughing white man in a suit grasping a badly photo edited axolotl squishy, his expression says "I'm quite unhinged".

The photo on the right has the caption "Vent anger", the photograph is of a smiling lady in a business suit. She is pulling a similar squishy apart and her face as the expression of "young child who has just seen their first magic trick"

Time for tea. I feel like @histoftech.bsky.social would approve of the mug.

An old mug saying "I'd rather be surfing the net"

The old mug says "I'd rather be" across the top of the mug and "Surfing the Net" underneath. There is a wave being surfed by a two button mouse underneath the "Surfing the Net" text.

This is a "You wait until later" face. Their human is in trouble.

A cat wearing what can only be described as a plastic astronaut helmet with vents at the top and little plastic cat ears. They also have two little blue silicon cat gloves on. This cat is definitely going to suffocate their owner while they sleep.

If you want a change I recommend "Really Bad Chess" where you find out what it's like to play against 7 knights at once. The angles get a bit tricky. I hate it and also love it.

A chess board without the usual pieces. For example the white has 4 rooks, 2 queens, 3 bishops, 2 knights and 2 pawns along with the king

Tried to use a coin for scale to show the size of this spider. It looks like I'm trying to pay her off. This is what would be considered a very large spider in the UK.

Spider on a white wall. A hand holds up a one point coin for scale. The spider is about 8cm long with legs at rest (3.3 inches)

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social I saw some lovely mushrooms on a coastal walk

Two mushrooms growing in the grass, they haven't fully developed so the heads are slightly egg shaped

Managed a lovely checkmate at chess tonight against a reasonably strong player. He was tired but I'll take the win 😎 Final position was this

I like the small joys. Managed to find a reasonably priced tiny thermos flask for my coffee. I like small strong coffees so this is perfect. Also saw a fox on the path ahead of me, which is very unusual in the countryside when walking. No photo as it was too far away for my phone.

A small silver thermos flask held up by a man's hand. In the background are some blurred ferns with trees behind them.

This very hastily cooked, badly presented, ramen was delicious. I added a lot of chilli oil and the pollen count is high so I did a lot of sneezing for joy

I wonder if it's this classic

Two panels. The first is an image of a man resting with monitoring devices attached to his head that reads "You use the UPDATE command to fix one record"

The second panel shows a close up of the man awake with his eyes wide. It reads "1,276,000 rows affected"

Good fun, I like the gameplay loop. This was my first play through

I have a selection for that reason. I have chess club later so this cup is today's vessel of choice. It should be more like a timble because I'm not very good

A mug with "Tears of the people I beat at chess" on it. The mug is white and the writing is in black capital letters with irregular handwriting. There are chess pieces running along the bottom of the mug

I went into the countryside for a couple of hours walking. The clouds were very dramatic today

A green field with a small hill running across the length of the photo. On the hill sit a couple of trees. Beyond the trees a large cumulus cloud rises up into the blue sky. In the foreground a tree reaches over the top of the cloud and shades the person taking the photo.

Treated myself to some lovely little espresso cups (90ml / 3oz)

4 cups with saucers sitting on a black worktop. The cups are grey with light grey speckling and the inside of each cup is also speckled and coloured. There are 4 colours, one per cup. The colours are sage green, yellowy orange, red and light blue

In terms of fun scary, the end sequence of Dying Light with the horde chasing you. In terms of not fun scary. It has to be "Rescue on Fractalus" on the C64. That game terrified the heck out of a 5 year old me

Broccoli is 8p at ASDA at the moment. For those in the UK who feel like making some kind of broccoli based masterpiece. I guess prices might vary locally, who knows.

Not to be too much of a coffee bore but I have a nice setup here. Relatively cheap with excellent coffee. It's not a one button instacoffee because I like it that I can do it wrong and learn something. Delonghi Dedica with a replacement bottomless portafilter & Sage Dose Control Pro grinder

A coffee setup. Sage Dose Control Pro on the left, it is a silver coffee grinder with the beans in the hopper at the top, a single button knob to press to grind coffee. To the right is a red espresso machine, a Delonghi Dedica. Between the two is a knock bucket for grinds. In the foreground is a black rubber tamping station and wooden handled tamper

This is the sort of thing I've started doing during work calls when I need to concentrate on talking people through personal or professional issues. I'm not very good at painting, I do enjoy it though and it calms my thoughts.

I haven't played a chess game vs a human for about a year online. I think I've improved a bit. Managed to engineer walking this pawn all the way up to the 7th rank 😅 I've just spent a year doing puzzles and lessons. Plus playing at the local club. All the players there are very strong

Just thought I'd see if the electric fire in my rental house fire place came out. Turns out it does and behind it looks like a monster cave from an RPG game. Complete with animal bone
