After a weekend of hard manual outdoor work, I collapsed in front of something undemanding whose cast made me watch (Belgravia), only to discover Julian Fellowes had asked John Lunn to do him another Downton score. USE SOME DIFFERENT CHORDS, JOHN. But maybe you were coerced.

Feel this is the sentence of the year
Man, I can barely go outside without being heightmogged by some 6'5" gigachad.

I feel the same, and it only needs to be a picochad.

I was about to tell you how rainy it has been today, then it started hailing. Might pour early weekend wine.

That last screenshot is a kicker. Original stuff is probably feeding LLMs before there's even a sniff of publication. I hate it. I hate it all.

Navi Pillay — the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a former International Criminal Court judge — happened to be at the Nuremberg Court in Germany when she learned that she had won the Nobel.

As a veteran of many ankle twists/sprains, early RICE = very real hope. Keep wiggling toes every now and then. Good luck.

Well, of course. I've gone for toasted sourdough with houmous which is your classic middle class lunch option. I can't spin that into a second breakfast.

Living alone means you can eat lunch whenever you like. There are no rules. It's like being permanently on a school trip coach. Yes I'm eating. This morning started very early NO STOP JUSTIFYING IT that's the whole point jeez

Happy birthday to Brian Blessed. Not many people know that Brian Blessed is a highly skilled horse whisperer, but he has to stand in the next field.

A gentleman has just taken 11 (eleven) sausages from the breakfast buffet. Would it be unreasonable to move and sit near him? I am genuinely intrigued to see how he gets on.

The top edge of this field, with the old stone wall in the woods beyond the fence, has a real Peter and the Wolf feel. *Grandfather's bassoon plays*
looking along the line of a wire stock fence from inside the field (Zig interested in some sniff ahead). far side of fence is a tumbledown stone wall that marked the original field, and birch woodland

But there's a cinema right nextdoor. Maybe it was dead of night. Tho that would have been a suitably spooky time to walk Culloden battlefield.

The big 24hr tesco in Inverness has always stocked really posh stuff so chefs from the grand shootin' and fishin' houses can provide what their guests expect. I bet Traitors has expanded the range even more. Bit of local colour for you there.

Look at this miracle - a few (?3) weeks ago it snapped off its stalk while still just a green bud. What is there to lose, I thought, and stuck it in a jug of water outside, thinking it would give up. No!

torn between loving Zig & being exasperated at the 19th time this afternoon he has decided he needs to go out but then forgets why and wants to come in again, but grateful for him keeping me getting up and down so I don't get DVT and OH GOD HERE HE GOES AGAIN he doesn't need to pee he is now a husk

Clouds. Extraordinary things.
again, I'm going to let us all down by my lack of technical meteorology. It's a white cloud, on top of some perfectly ordinary white clouds, but shaped like an upturned cone. Its edges wisp off upwards like fingers to heaven STOP POETING RIGHT NOW ROGERS. Or something has just fallen into the lower cloud and this is the splash. I don't know. looks well weird tho

Making risotto. Have no cream, so decided I'll add extra butter at the end. All will be well. First proper chilly evening deserves comfort food under grated parmesan.

My right ear has decided to switch on its tinnitus suddenly. Like, silence, then OLD DIAL-UP INTERNET WARBLE FOR EVER. I feel I should get a prize for being old enough to remember these archaic noises. Maybe my prize could be no tinnitus? it will all be fine when I have a house it will all be fine
