A mission statement, of sorts, for this account:
I'm here to share information about BLUF, to help members connect, to promote events and useful information for kink and fetish people. And maybe, sometimes, to get laid.
I appreciate polite, thoughtful engagement.

Oops. Thought I was buying two cabinets, not two packs of ten. Still, you can never have enough...

Just done a mock-up of what the blind in the office/playspace could look like with the word 'OBEY' printed on it, so it's visible when closed.
If any non-kinky people ask, I can tell them it's an homage to John Carpenter's "They Live"

Moderately productive afternoon; replaced the hideous curtains in the office/playspace with an automated blind, which will close when you trigger the 'playtime' mode, so as not to shock the postman.

Just occurred to me, I wonder if I could order a piece of fabric with a large Tom of Finland print, to put in the office/playroom roller blind. So when it closes, there's a massive kinky artwork on the wall

For those who like historical documents from our community, I have scanned the SM Gays Resource Book, which I think is from 1992, and placed it in the library at bluf.com/docs

Really, Screwfix? What on earth makes you think I might need carabiners? 😈

What I'd really love for the playroom, for giving remote orders to someone, is one of these:

But a bit stupidly expensive for the amount I play.

So, before the system starts playing the hypno or white noise to the subject, should I have a soulless computer voice say something like "Welcome. Please make yourself comfortable. Your treatment will begin shortly"

There are many concerning things about this, but to me:
1. selling the name 'Manchester Pride' as an asset; what if you sell to a bad actor, who wants to prevent anyone else calling a Pride event in Manchester 'Manchester Pride'. It's so obvious, it shouldn't have been allowed to be trademarked.

Should I be cleaning the kitchen for tomorrow? Yes.
Am I configuring the home automation to allow people in other rooms to play hypno files to someone tied up in the barber's chair? Also, yes.

Having fun with automations for the play space.
Pick up the phone, wait for the beep and say "Play time"
Office lighting changes, phone goes to Do Not Disturb. Next to add are music control and closing the blinds.

Having a friend over for Xmas day, and we suggested one gift each, no more than £10.
Have confessed that I still have no idea what to get, and she replied she hasn't either, so why don't we just enjoy each other's company.
Much relief all round.
