Pretty busy, but a nice mellow weekend doing family tech support...

How was yours?

(Oh and happy cake day)

Ow.

Those things are so stealthy and they bite like a horse...

Nothing too serious, a horse fly decided to bite me twice and my foot swelled up quite a bit

I went for a run at lunch and it was awful, so muggy!

I hope it was nothing too serious?!

Dealing with the heat has not been fun, on a positive note I went to A&E and only had to wait an hour to be seen.

I should have posted this yesterday, but I was busy, but it's supposed to be for the week that's just gone :)

Well, my week is only 11 hours old, so I can’t say how it will turn out. But in the past 11 hours, I’ve managed to burn a towel, inadvertently catapult my cat across our neighbor’s fence, and kick my (now ex-) boss in the shin. So let’s see.

spanish water dog

they look they'd moult if I look at them even a little funny

I was also firmly team cat, but my wife really wanted a dog. We now have two Spanish water dogs. These guys are clean, (mostly) well behaved and they don’t moult. They need long walks and activity, but that’s only agood thing as it keeps me going too. I have been converted.

Alright, so where's all of our invites? Sounds delicious mate!

I feel into a nettle bush once when I was a kid after falling off a big branch that went over them (kids are stupid). Stung like a motherfucker.

Hope your ok and nothing serious for being away.

Good, tired but good. Passed my bike license which was stressful (and expensive) - gonna miss my little scooter!

It's been getting hot, after a cold spell. We spent a day at the beach, but on the way home I walked into the strongest, meanest nettles I've ever encountered in my life. We may need to amputate.

Tired, but happy 🙂

I had to watch some friends pugs for them whilst they were away, and it made me realise how much I dislike these type of dogs in general.... they snore, they shit every hour, they need 4 walks a day, the constant snorting never ends, and their neediness and pettiness is boundless.

I'm firmly on team cat.

I did burgers and mushrooms with cream cheese filling wrapped in bacon on Friday. Saturday I did skewers with chicken thigh, halloumi and vegetables. Sunday was racks of pork ribs and home made BBQ sauce.

Kids are a full time job. Add work on top of that and your free time is gone. Thankfully our kids are already adults, and we now have plenty of time for other things: cooking, long walks with dogs, etc.

What have you been having on the BBQ? I enjoy a BBQ but we always have super simple stuff (burgers, hotdogs, pork loins etc) and wouldn't mind doing something more fancy.

My week was OK ta, just hectic and busy. Work work work, kids kids kids, it feels like I have zero free time at the moment. My wifes getting more clients which is great (£), but it means she's been working most evenings, so I finish work and she's immediately out the door and it's about 10pm by the time all the chores, kids are down etc.

Not too bad, thanks, although good part of the week was recovering from long haul travel. Travel for work has been too frequent recently so I need to do something about that.

On the positive side, BBQ on Friday and Saturday, and another one in the works for today.

How was your week?

Well it's raining now. You happy, huh? Huh?
Get out of here....

There's a poster on Lemmy with multiple alt accounts that would be very interested in your story 😉.

I like to ask it to translate the entire thing repeatedly in different languages. Really crank those GPUs up.

Magnifica Humanitas. Sounds like something from 40k. Praise be!

Aye just chuck it into ChatGPT for a quick summary, that’ll show his saint ass and the planet too!

As it looked in the picture luckily enough to break my fall and I missed the raised bricks on the side. I can't remember if I was able to stand I pushed off the bottom. Lock keeper said about 2m.

Bike spent the night in there boat went over it so I guess 2m is right.

Back to work tomorrow on said bike after a clean and a service. Phone seems to have survived condensation in the camera lenses and lock button doesn't work.

Front light seems to be ok

Lost my shocks headphones

Everything else is all good 🪿🐸

how deep was it

I was on the gravel part I went onto the cement bit in the photo but the gravel has lowered over the years side wall of my tyre grabbed the brick and tipped me in.
