I mostly live on a boat. The bilge is *never* less humid than the cabin. Oh

I’d like to introduce Dr Theodore Murray esq. (My friends dog who lived with me for 18 months)
Thoughtful looking dog - medium sized brown Romanian import, a proper mutt - wearing my reading glasses in a very stylish fashion.

Looking after Theo (THEO!!) in #SowerbyBridge, is there a roaming local beast (zoom in) or bored teenagers with a carving chisel?
Root of a tree with the bark torn off, and vaguely suspicious “claw marks” torn deeply into it. 7 out of 10, too obviously human.

I love how oiled hardwood ply looks like Jupiter. If you open the hatch, there are diamonds (niche joke there, no actual rocks)
Treated plywood with a hatch cut in it. It’s banded orange and brown colours, with some dark brown whorls. That’s what Jupiter looks like. I’ll leave the diamond reference to you.

Oh Aldi, why do you taunt me so. Good job you’re not selling birthing balls or space hoppers, or there’d be a very expensive noise.
Pallets of stacked Prosecco bottles, with a big shiny run up. Basically looks like a very expensive 10 pin bowling lane.

It looks very “unfrozen” now, but the bird and I are slightly surprised by the 4cm of ice *under* the water.
A goose pathetically pecking at 5mm of water on top of 40mm ice. I am not claiming the goose knows how thick the ice is.

Did a last minute diesel run yesterday (slightly over an inch thick). Amusingly, if one goes fast, the bow wave breaks the ice before the prow hits it.

A cold day on the canal (outside, at least). Reminds me of the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. Lived near the canal when I grew up, walked to college down it. One day, it’s frozen. Two teenagers, walking on the ice. They were throwing bricks at each others feet!! Still living when I left….

This is lovely - a cast list of ships from The Battle of the River Plate. Wonder if they got Equity cards. @dreadships.bsky.social

Couple more years of snuggles and confidence and she might end up this crazed. Theo was a long term blubbering wreck (not rehabilitated by me)

I’m bored, so I thought I’d actually see what a smart appliance was like - this is me trying to connect to my washing machine. But no, Hotpoint/Haier, want to know where I am. The person writing it was soooo embarrassed, they couldn’t write “enable”

#WolfAlice in Liverpool last night. Just amazing. Joff waved at small child which made her very happy. Only saw the two teenagers I took, which is a bit sad. They had an awesome time. Take kids to gigs! Thanks!
Very close to a stage with a band on it.

Had a good chat with an engineer, who chilled me out a bit. He pointed out that it’s “a heavy bastard”, and has been slowly moving for centuries. Also, that the surface damage is more due to surface turbulence than the bridge moving. Reassured by the attention.

The bridge is now *covered* in survey targets. Apparently there are details going back to the 1880’s to compare against.

It’s generally stable and leaking less than it did in cold temperatures. There’s tons of “doozers” (?) there now, ready to survey it.

Terrible photo - I was sailing as it happened. Took me a while to work out what was going on, to be honest. It had chased it into the water, watched from the bank as the rat stopped struggling, then grabbed it out of the water and shook it. But if you zoom, you can see the tail…,.

Ahh, they’re so special. He’s Theo, I’m fostering him for a friend, but he’d still follow me through the gates of hell or fight a lion for me. We live on a boat, and here he is chilling and guarding. He’s a bit of a local fixture now.
