Cosplaying as the grown up I am clearly not. Old and fat and a guy.
Also, 26th floor sunset.

How do I know it's been there a long time? The plaque over the door. Not only does it have a telex number, but that dialing code was changed in 1995.

Random nerd moment. These modules used to be ubiquitous, not seen so much these days. This one has been here a Long Time. They're quite distinctive.

Edible alchemy time. This one won't be ready until tomorrow.

Today's trip to the sea had unexpected wildlife. A sandpiper, first I've seen, and a seal.

Sometimes, work pulls it out of the hat.

Excellent dinner.

That will do nicely

Dear Royal Mail, dumped on the driveway in the open without knocking or ringing the bell does not constitute a safe place.

Have you been hiring Evri drivers again?

So, injury update. Improving, not obviously infected, house still smells of TCP.

However, lost some range of motion. Can't squat or bend right over properly. Hopefully that will improve once the lump goes down.

Beware the injury pictures.

Compare and contrast..

Proof of the scrubbed up wearing posh outfit version of me.

Update- waterside bar, mostly deserted. Much better. Still solo, but at least not conspicuously so.

Right, adventures in transport complete, now into the budgetiest budget hotel of budget.

The loo/shower pod smells of bleach but is clean. Unexpected sofabed next to my bed, which I've folded up badly so I have at least some room in my room. I don't think it's right, but it'll do for now.

The tube strike means I went almost @girlonthenet.bsky.social level transport mix.
Suburban commuter train to Victoria. Bus to Oxford Circus. Walk to Euston. Intercity train to Manchester, and now tram.

I've been stuck in the house for days. Beer was needed.

Today I found a farm shop that sells beef.

So, black garlic bavette steak and salad with home-grown tomatoes.
August 30, 2025 at 5:46 PM
Hmm. Looks amd smells good.

Cooking again. This time it's freestyle Ragu, made from "what have I got in the freezer/fridge/cupboards."

Pub won

Cooking underway.

Infidel (pork) balti, using the home grown peppers, which are much redder than shop ones.
