Thy Dalmatian Slumbereth Not
Enough to make a pair of sailor's trousers. A small sailor.

The grim weather on the M6 is clearing. Glad I'm not driving.

Big fan of the new electric buses in Bristol. Especially when the sun goes down and they glow in the dark.

I find this Nazi era ID card horribly fascinating. The card would have been designed by an ordinary civil servant, just doing their job, as best they could.

To facilitate the transportation of undesirables. Like Maria.

Made me think about Hannah Arendt's work on the banality of evil.

The SUV of bikes. Just taking up the 5 spaces in the bike rack. Are bikes and their owners going the same way as cars? Bigger and more selfish.

A good evening at The Drapers Arms for Garvan's birthday. Molly, ex Drapers, had brewed a special birthday beer for him with Bruhaha Brewery. It was a late night.

Visit to Liverpool to see my mum. Went to The Augustus John pub which I've not been to before. My mum remembers going there not long after it opened in 1968. Don't think the pub has changed much since. Very well preserved inside and out.

Went to see Pretty Woman in Queen's Square tonight. I assumed I'd seen it but it turned out I hadn't.

An enjoyable evening but the film was rubbish.

Came third in the quiz before the film. Bristol To = Bristol Toffees.

This text on the Fantasy Footy website makes me laugh every year.

"mere placeholders" to be enunciated in the voice of your favourite screen villain.

Found this left outside a house on the way to the pub. Could be the start of a beautiful new career. Or the end of a beautiful relationship. Who knows.

Anyway, the moral of the story is... Always go to the pub, you never know what you might discover.

I was inspecting my ramshackle netting so I could fix the the gaps where the cabbage whites were getting in. When one of them just flies through the actual netting. The mesh holes are too large!

Always test with your users. Even if the buggers are gnashing your brassicas!

Bodega at @trinitybristol.bsky.social. First time I've seen a band in their new marquee. Very impressive. A lovely venue on a warm summer evening. Band were great too.
