These are trees, at a place we visited.

Hey... So... I spotted this in London today... is this real? And, if so, how could they possibly justify it? Surely this is illegal?

Thrice damned IPA. I didn't travel half way around the world to drink a beer specifically designed to NOT be drunk in the UK.

I asked at the first pub if they had any bitter. The answer was a resounding no. Then I saw the tap that proudly proclaimed "Guinness, extra cold." We found an alternative establishment.

We bought these as souvenirs at This Museum Is Not Obsolete in Ramsgate. I do not know what it is for.

I saw this.

A random wood in Muswell Hill.

My first British pint in quite some time. Australians have got beer entirely wrong.

@theoctopuslady.bsky.social I just watched kurtzgesagt do a video on Mola and thought "I'd really like to re-watch the octopus lady's video on Mola" and... hang on... has she not done a video on Mola yet!?! Am I hallucinating? I was sure you'd done a video on Mola but I can't find it...

Leviathan Axe done. The delay is I had to basically purchase, rewire and equip the workshop in the workshop in the background. 13lbs, which is small for me, but still feels heavy for an axe. Big Thank you to Twisted Yew Workshop for the woodwork.

@michaelcthulhu.bsky.social another day of breathless anticipation. Somewhere out there is an axe of total badassness waiting to be revealed.

We have been evacuated from our house due to a chlorine gas leak at the local swimming pool. Here's a photo of Sprite at the evacuation centre.

We saw Fat Boy Slim on Friday night. He was... ok. The music was fantastic. I am not convinced he performed a single live mix the entire night.

The Gnomes did not do well tonight. A 2-1 loss (and it was only that good because my opponent threw me a chance at a dignity touch down). The learning curve is steep.

Experiment to see what a youtube shorts preview looks like on bsky: youtube.com/shorts/OCCcH...

@theoctopuslady.bsky.social I never signed up for Twitter, then it was X and I REALLY didn't sign up for it. But I'll follow the Octopus Lady anywhere.
