Adding olive farmer to my resume

A weedy little b&q olive tree. I have let him get leggy. His pot is a crappy bright green plastic thing. He is standing against a very charming brick wall. And he has TWO olives (plus one out of shot). One a respectable size but still green and the other an officially ripe looking one).

St Helier hospital can’t keep a good Irish guitarist down. So glad dad made it out for his party and to some music with loads of his mates.

My dad. Bowed but not broken (much. Well maybe a lot). Looking 81 but snazzy with his Gibson playing with his classical guitarist friend from around here. Dad is wearing mostly green bc he is Irish and spends most of his time dying his clothes into 40 shades. A very tired arm holding a microphone to the bottom right. Windows and venue grounds in the back ground.

Same. Even the WH Smith vibe and pricing couldn’t take away the magic of random stationery and crafting supplies. Plus where else could you see this level of high street ennui (from back in Feb so clearly dialling it in for months now).

WH Smith’s shop floor. In the education section. An expanse of blue carpet and lots of crates where they must have already been shipping stock out to more exciting climes. Some dismantled shelves stacked by the fire door. Knock off squishmallows strewn everywhere.

Yes I am leaving Weymouth with a 500 piece puzzle of Ireland

One of those map puzzles - this one looks to be from the 80s. It’s Ireland. There are potatoes, Guinness, a lot of sheep. The sun is shining so the map clearly has some errors.

Black squirrels are the best squirrels.

A tree trunk. I dunno? Taking up half the shot. Manicured grass in the background. A black squirrel half way up showing just his head and shoulders. There is a recriminating look in his eye. I did not bring snacks.

Current life goal is to become (or become friends with) the cosmic bat nebula. Just look at that little guy

Screen grab from Sky and telescope magazine website. It’s the cosmic bat nebula. It’s a dark nebula. It looks fuzzy and cute yet terrifying against a backdrop of the universe. Apparently it’s a 12 light year wide cloud. I want it so bad.

Kiddo ran out of steam before die toten hosen so now I am sitting on the balcony with some mint sprite in a very clement and breezy Berlin evening listening to the swifts and yes it would have been great but also this is all fine.

Not particularly picturesque view of Berlin but quite mitte … the brachiosaurus is sleeping just across the road. Trees in the evening sunlight. Edge of a balcony. Calm evening sky. Probably a hooded crow flying top and centre.

Okay I think I want a new tattoo

A relief of a very derpy lion in Neues museum Berlin. Is he Assyrian? I couldn’t linger so I couldn’t do full investigation. He is very derpy. He has Assyrian style stars all over his body and a crescent around his neck. I want him very much.

My current ‘ai is crap’ soapbox is how bad it is at pattern matching in photos. Thought this was a bug, and previously insisted St Paul’s was Buckingham Palace (like I would ever) just bc very popular railings vs actual finial pattern matching. Harrumph.

A photo of the spiral staircase at Monument looking up. Yes it’s pleasing how it replicates patterns in nature but also it’s some effing stairs. iPhone tried to match it to an insect or an African clawed frog. Clearly ai image interpretation has a big railings and rails blind spot.

These Hampton court palace festival things are a very very strange experience

Hampton court palace looking all palace-y. Red brick and crenellations, chimneys and a flag). Old. Very very uncomfortable grey folding chairs cable tied together (now I see why you could rent a cushion for FOUR POUNDS?????), some castley flag stones and some slightly disoriented stranglers fans milling around.

Truly a band for all seasons - I am also v pleased to see that if the weather takes a sudden turn for the worse this evening I can now feel just as cool as them if I need to rock my Canada rain poncho

Dollarama Canadian rain poncho packaging - such cool posturing, makes the stranglers look like total wusses with the power stance of the guy and a mysterious aloof female presence. Big red maple leaf. The rain cloud is happy *and* winking … one size fits all.

Glad to see that The Stranglers had endorsed rain ponchos years before festival season …

The stranglers - meninplastic - all looking a bit awkward wearing what is (I can only assume) a cheap plastic dust sheet with head holes cut for Dave, JJ and Hugh. Jet Black obviously not going for any of that nonsense.

Put my required monthly quest points up to 60 and expect me to spend 15 minutes learning to earn one? Duolingo, that’s not a quest, that’s a hostage situation.

Screen grab from Duolingo. No words for how much I hate the fucking app. 60 quest points required - why not 50 you owly shithead. Listen to 7 exercises to win a chest that is just going to be 1.5 xp for 10 mins or a pile of gems that land like a pile of blue poo. Earn 50xp - whatever. Tap tap tap honestly fuck the ‘epic’ chest. It’s not epic. It’s rubbish. And the dreaded spend 15 minutes “learning”. The only positive thing to say about it is it’s not 20 minutes. And I can’t earn suit points anymore. Not that I wanted to bc they all looked stupid anyway but it’s just another emblem of how annoying and inconsistent the whole app is. Don’t even get me started on the actual content …

Getting the Thomas Dolby gig photo in now because we can’t take photos during the gig and seriously - FTS is it because everyone has seen how rubbish the recent sets have been…

The derpiest wolf ever. Mosaic bc derpy wolves look best in mosaic. White eyes, a yellow nose, red lips and very toothy teeth. Pale sand-coloured background. She lives in the Leeds City Museum. I love her a lot and honestly why isn’t she on her own fridge magnet. She may be suckling Romulus and Remus (out of shot)
