Two big containers of blue stuff...I had a bit of a mix up putting some screen wash fluid in my car screen wash reservoir. Screen washing is going to be a bit bubbly 😂

We had a sighting of a Golden Oriole from the bird hide at Mannez Pond on Alderney today. It looked great through binoculars but it hid behind some twigs when I took this photo! @alderneywt.bsky.social

Front incisor dental crown loose and rattling. “We don’t usually deal with these until they fall off” said the receptionist at the dentist. It seems to be retained by a post, I can’t face trying to pull it off myself - hoping the dentist will have solutions/ ideas 😂

Apple caves to UK government Snooper’s Charter by reducing data security for customers in the UK. Seems kind of pointless as anyone can apply pre-internet encryption before uploading data archives to the cloud. The bad guys surely do this already, so they’ll have to ban encryption tools next 🤔
