It’s Zaph Camden and Groupie Jonsdottir!
We’re happy because we’re from Europe.
And we have each other.
And also watermelon.

Groupie’s got her keys personalised. 😊 🔑

Our Valentines cards show Zaph & Groupie are on the same wavelength.

feels cruel for Bluesky to have a Popular With Friends tab, if any of us were popular with friends we wouldn't be on Bluesky

ABBA is usually a dirty word in Zaph & Groupie’s life, because the radio only play certain songs of theirs.
This is not one of them, and it really should get much more airplay. I can remember following this song up the charts back around Xmas 1981.

I posted this picture on another network and someone thought it was a low key announcement that we were engaged 😆
It’s amazing what fun you can have by simply reflecting a picture 180° and posting it during Valentine’s season.

We’ve been watching some things on Talking Pictures which were originally shown on ITV and they’ve not only kept the idents, they’ve left the cue dots on.
I’ve been amusing Groupie by saying things like “stand by regions…” and “roll commercials” 😊

Zaph & Groupie spent our Valentine’s evening at a silent disco in an art gallery. 💕

Flicking through the channels and found Death Race 2000 playing on Together TV.
I did not expect full on boobs at this time of the evening. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

(You were warned in the EPG and it has a PG certificate, so if it does bother you, tough tit ; literally)

Played on the radio at work tonight, a song I haven’t heard for literally decades. Reminds me of fun nights at discos in my mid-teens on both sides of the decks.

I was always the Euro, wasn’t I…

Arrived at work to find the toaster etc have gone off on their adventures.
Various electrical appliances are appearing in the rec room at work. It’s like an invasion by the brave little toaster and its friends the kettle and microwave.

It’s only by making up little stories like this that I’m able to stay sane at work these days.

I also feel this way, incidentally.
Good morning for new and old followers... i can't stand politics. and if you have a lot of politics on your feed I will not follow back in fact it is very likely that I will block you if politics take up large portion of your feed...
That goes for America and europe as well....

Still no sign of the ID card. Feels like I don’t exist.

If they don’t come up with the goods sharpish like, they’re going to wish I didn’t exist… 😡
They forgot to renew my ID card yesterday so it expired. Told me it could take six weeks to get a new one.
Today I had to phone up and get the shift manager to let me into the work compound.

He’s getting it expedited for me, as it dawns on him he’ll have to do that another 29 times otherwise…

It’s just struck me that it’ll be fifty years this year since she was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when he met her.
The Human League's "Don't You Want Me" was released the same week as the BBC Micro.

This is only acceptable if Float On is playing in the background.

For our ice breaker (ugh) at our division meeting today, we all had to break into small groups and say what our astrological sign is.

I really can’t imagine a more cringe worthy ice breaker.

DO YOUR BIT

It must be a strange feeling to belong.

It’s not something I’ve ever felt, to be honest. Suppose I never will.

I would imagine it would be a bit restrictive, though. You can be much freer when you’re not part of something.

CAPS SHIFT/SYMBOL SHIFT, then SYMBOL SHIFT/H, for the record.
If you can get the keypresses right on your first try to get CIRCLE on a ZX Spectrum you’re probably old enough for anything.

Because this is #ZaphAndGroupiesSurrealLife we were having Xmas pudding yesterday. In February.

What’s remarkable is that this was my first one, ever. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

The Spectra photographs continue. Here’s a little family of creatures of the night (or is it light?)
February 8, 2026 at 6:53 PM
Som more pictures from Spectra. Queueing up to get into a graveyard was an interesting experience and rather symbolic of life itself really.

Anyway we enjoyed the glowy things in there.

Some pictures from the Spectra festival in Aberdeen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 that Zaph & Groupie were at last night. Union Terrace Gardens was turned into a field of fire 🔥

🎵 My patients’ screams are always shrill
When I get out my little drill
I always get myself a thrill
When I’m filling teeth in! 🎶
You may have a George Foreman grill, but have you got a George Formby dentist chair?

Lucky with the available seating on my commute home and now feel like I’m travelling in my own little pod.
