Ye see yon birkie ca’d a lord,
Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that,
Tho’ hundreds worship at his word,
He’s but a coof for a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
His ribband, star, an’ a’ that,
The man o’ independent mind,
He looks an’ laughs at a’ that.

4am. I seem to have neglected to fall asleep and am expected to be a functioning human in, oh, just over an hour.

Monday could be 'challenging' (tho I predict there will be a solid nap some time before 3pm)

I imagined the sound that this would make, slithering out of the can, with a greasy, wet pop as it finally falls free and collapses onto a plate

And now you're imagining it too.

isn't it weird how the imagined smell of bleached, pressure cooked chicken makes the stomach turn...

Bon appetit

Drones over the US. Drones over Korea.
Drones over Ukraine.

I grew up in Scotland. There's drones everywhere here...

Today I will be mostly futzing around.

Bit of admin, some Minecraft, out for coffee and cake and then, after a nap, off to the Men's Shed to make sawdust.

It's a hard life.
