Yesterday's date dinner 😍 It was sooo good! Like obviously the potential to have someone to love for the rest of my life is wonderful but in the moment I was laser-focused on devouring my chicken satay skewer.

Four tapas-style dishes, including baby potatoes in parsley butter, grilled chicken satay skewers, roasted vegetables with lemon ricotta, and grilled sea bass

I don't blame you if you don't care but here's 3 minutes of me unboxing these plushies with unfiltered joy 😍 (edited down from 8 minutes where I critique each Garfield's authenticity. gotta start an Onlyfans for this sort of niche content)

struggling to shift these. switching to a graphic design approach 😎

A4 piece of paper with really bad graphic design. text includes "wow!" in Comic Sans, along with an orange banner that reads "Obsolete Database Textbooks!", a large red explosion graphic with the text "FREE", a stock image of four young children with "great for kids!" written above it, a healthy eating food wheel with a textbook cover on it reading "part of a balanced diet", and a picture of Larry the giant seagull with the text "Larry approved!"

Big first day at the office for Larry! Presentations, meetings, and research 🥰

Larry the giant seagull plush looking at a laptop. On the screen there is a Teams meeting, on the other end of which is a giant rubber duck plush

Larry the giant seagull plush sat in front of an A1 flip chart. On the paper is a crude drawing of a bird with the title "Anatomy", with various arrows and labels indicating different parts of the presumed seagull.

I should never have been given responsibility in the first place

Teams chat where the other person has asked if it would be possible to do something. My reply is "I don't see why not - I would ask anyway, the worst they can say is no".
Their reply is "Who is "they"? You are the boss!"
My reply is "Oh right yeah I forget that sometimes. Okay, "Yes that is fine""

prepping tor teaching Data Visualisation next semester! also August is now way too low because I ate like 200g of cheddar yesterday just making this thing and I would not recommend doing that.

Column chart cut out of a block of cheddar cheese, sitting on a piece of paper with an x-axis representing months of the year with letters (e.g., J for January, F for February) and the title "Daniel's annual cheese consumption". The highest bar is in December, which drops sharply in January. Around the chart are various chunks of cheddar and a knife.

rainy day baking - chocolate orange shortbread! they are tasty, fun to make, and give your kitchen a lovely smell. the manosphere doesn't know what it's missing.

chocolate orange shortbread dough on a cutting board covered with perhaps too much cornflour. three holes have been cut into it by the small cookie cutter that is sitting on top of it. alongside is a rolling pin and an orange devoid of zest.

chocolate orange shortbread dough rounds on two sheets covered in baking paper. there are 9 on each sheet

baked chocolate orange shortbread cookies on a wire rack dusted with confectioner's sugar (or caster sugar if you're like me and live in the UK)

went to the Art and Design degree show today! Amazing creative stuff going on. they had paper and watercolours so I was able to make my own contribution

a piece of A5 card with a crudely drawn horse on the grass with a sun in the corner. It is badly coloured in with watercolour paint. the horse is saying "neigh". the other text says "A horse. By Daniel. Age 34"

Last night I tried to make an instructional video on making a deep-fried Mars Bar - classic Scottish cuisine. I failed in this endeavour but salvaged some footage if you're interested in how to fuck up a simple task by drinking too much whisky before beginning

Found the most virtuous restaurant in all of Dundee. It is free from cinn 😇

Restaurant called "Cinnamon Indian Restaurant", which is written on the awning.
The large letters above the awning read "amon". Apparently the "cinn" part has fallen off.

After 8 years living in Dundee, finally decided to walk up the Dundee Law - a hill that is the highest point in the city. It was nice but tbh most of the view was assorted roofs (not that I don't love a roof and the various services it provides).

The monument on top of the law that reads "To the memory of Dundee men who fell in the world war 1939 to 1945". It's a tower-like structure made of beige-coloured blocks, with a dark door suggesting that it can be entered and climbed. The top looks a bit like the structure of a lighthouse.

A view of Dundee from The Law. In the foreground are a dense collection of trees. Beyond it are various buildings in the city, and behind that is the River Tay with the Tay Rail Bridge stretching across it.

Another view of Dundee from The Law. There are trees in the foreground, with a wide range of buildings beyond that, with the River Tay in the background again.
