I fixed the blue-orange ratio in the fruit bowl!

Picking up cameras that aren’t even cameras.

I just loaded a roll of expired Fujicolor Pro 400H in my Hasselblad 500c.

It has probably been 10 years since I've shot a roll of film, so yes, I had to give myself a bit of a refresher course on how this beast works.

I was doing laundry.

Then I thought I should water my plants.

I'm not sure why I went into the garage, but now I have set up my old Click & Grow Smart Garden.

Who thinks these 4 year old seed pods still have life in them??

Did I eat breakfast?

Why did I go into the garage?

My desk buddy is on the shelf above my monitor. She does not seem to be happy about that...
Angry Unikitty lego figure on shelf. There is also a manikin hand with middle finger up, a gold virgin mary tree ornament, a framed woodcut of a man with money falling out of his pockets while holding a sign that says "Need more, please help".

Needed white wine for the soup, so Snoop seemed the obvious choice.

And now I need to wait until tomorrow to add the cognac and then we can finally eat the soup of delicousness!

Post you from a different era. Early 90s - so moody
Grainy black & white film image of a young woman sitting on the steps of an outdoor amphitheater. You see the profile of the woman in the middle ground of the image, the foreground showing the curve of the steps, and there are 2 tree trunks growing in a space within the steps behind her. Ivy covering the hill behind the theatre is at the top of the photo. She is wearing a dress and leaning forward and her short black hair is covering her face which is resting in her hands.

I voted today! Got to the local library 10 mins before the polls closed at 4pm. My ballot was number 816 and people were still filing in as I left. The poll worker said it had been busy all day and they were running out of stickers.

Go vote tomorrow!

We are not going back!

Hey @trickweekes.bsky.social - I just finished reading The Palace Job and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was such a fun read and kept me completely stressed out until the end! Loved the characters and can't wait to read the next book.
Photo of the book "The Palace Job" by Patrick Weekes on a quartzite kitchen island. There are a couple plants in front of the sink in the background and an orange and black sugar skull candy dish.

WHY??!

It was just Earth, Wind & Fire Day two days ago! I don't need to be maneuvering my cart around the fake christmas trees to get to the Halloween decorations and the houseplants!

I did not buy any plants.
Progress.
