As today is #caturday, I checked in with the sentry duty at the back window.
As you can see, they are doing a bang up job keeping those beds from flying away.

Today's "#picture of something that made me smile"
I was working around a bruise in this banana, and one of the slices looked *really* sad about its upcoming non-return trip to the trash can. 🙁

Heh, oh dear, lucky me!
I've mentioned haveibeenpwned.com before, but this email from this morning reminded me why it is a Good Thing™️ and also why a good password manager is also worth while.
I quite like Proton Pass from @proton.me, but *anything* is better than reusing passwords!

A magnet (sticker) on the back of my car...
The sticker came from @freshprintsdesign.bsky.social and is stuck to some "Magnetic Adhesive Sheet" from the art supplies shop. This was the first time I saw it after putting it on. 😁

It's some time since I've had a "See it, take a picture" moment.
I was sitting outside Jersey Mike's, and I spotted this #Corvette ZR1. Unlike previous models, it looks like the Italians have gotten into the styling, and other European nations have done some performance work

Hey, I'm starting that same page!
I spent some time this afternoon fixing some of my stickers to some "Magnetic Adhesive Sheet" so I can put them on the fridge and my car.
Also, I hadn't scanned and posted this since it's been done! And, I don't think you spotted the change I'd made 😀

Before I went to the mailbox, he said "Take a picture of something that made you smile".
When I sorted the mail, I came across this and immediately developed a cheesy smile, so I took a picture.
@freshprintsdesign.bsky.social came through *again* with the good feels. 😁

This is probably the last solely Spotify analysis, because I'm *seriously* thinking that #BoycottSpotify should be standard going forward having discovered #tidal last night and finding there were <50 tracks that couldn't be imported. So I'm thinking it might actually be a viable option!

Not only do they argue against the choices of women "after the act", they are also chasing options that responsible people of either sex might want to exercise!
This is choice, that should be promoted, like how the French do it, outside *every* pharmacy

Here is today's "#picture that made me smile". The smile came when I imagined the volume and type of pictures the poor bugger got!

Here is a picture I took yesterday of "something that made me smile"
For some reason, I have an affinity with the moon,and for the first time in a long time that circumstances presented an opportunity to intersect #photography and #astronomy, two of my casual hobbies.
So I was beaming ear to ear!

This morning, I got a little time and a little inspiration around #colours I wanted to use
So I (nearly) finished up this #arttherapy from @freshprintsdesign.bsky.social.
I also discovered that gradients are quite hard to do well by hand!

I guess they didn't learn that trust is a very fickle thing during childhood.
Once you've lost it, it's *very* difficult to regain!

This moved up to #wip this week, I got a little sidetracked by life and missed posting it on Wednesday.
So here it is!
I had to make a small (but hugely significant to me) change, and I'm kinda curious if @freshprintsdesign.bsky.social or someone else notices 🤔 🤣

Here is today's #gratitude picture. I took it this morning for #caturday.
The #catsofbluesky were unknowingly charging my emotional battery in preparation for a long day of driving to and #adhd masking while visiting my father-in-law, and after 14hrs my wife's interaction with them made me laugh

Today's #photograph of something that made me smile...
The shirt I chose for the day. It's the first day that promises to be cool enough to warrant something heavier than a t-shirt, yet not so cold to need a coat outside.
It may be a simple thing, but I'm all about simple and it doesn't mean bad!

Today's "picture of something that made me smile" is Roxanne, the rock snake.
She started ~12mo ago, and was ~3ft long. Today she is closer to 50ft.
I have no idea as to whose project this is, who attends to her, or where all of those rocks came from. But it definitely makes me smile when I'm near

Yesterday's fortune cookie had this inside, I do have a long-standing problem, and I'm really hopeful that it'll be resolved soon.
I'm also, at the same time, fearful that this fortune won't be fulfilled

While not the size of those in the bigger cities, here is a picture from our local #NoKings protest. I'm so proud to have been a part of it, and to those with negative reactions all I have to say is "You're welcome, I'm protesting for *everyone's* rights, not just mine"

It's something that when read it, I read it as "You Express your creativity in your unique way."

On the right (roses and lilys) are the flowers I bought my wife for our anniversary on Friday. On the left are those he just dropped off 😀
