Lovely weather for naked gardening day but I have many neighbours 🙂

Another leaving do last night, this time the Thaikun had gas so we were able to eat there. Food was tasty and the decor is fun.

Once upon a time
I loved a man
who loved abandoned buildings
so much
he turned into one.

Once upon a time
I called myself
an alley cat
now I sleep in the shadow
of his house.

And neither one
knows what
home means
anymore.

@RexfordGTugwell Hadn’t thought of that but it does look like it 🙂

Gift-wrapped building in central Oxford today

Played Thunderstone Quest at Gamescafé today. Never quite got in to gear so I had to watch everyone else going on dramatic dungeon fights while I was still punching giant rats. Good fun nonetheless.

Got my shiny new Australian passport today. Latest security feature: hallucinatory kangaroo graphics floating over the portrait page.

Pro tip for all NPCs: if you reply the same thing twice to a player, they will leave you alone.

Out dancing last night and glad I booked a day off afterwards because I feel kind of creaky and my knees are making sounds

Today's recipe is chicken with lots of broccoli, a recipe inspired by my having forgotten to buy any other vegetables.

I was cleaning in an older relatives' house with a turntable and LPs, many familiar from my youth. HOT TAKE: LPs are a natural Pomodoro technique. Start a side, do a thing. When the click-hiss at the center bugs you, wash your hands, have a drink, turn over the record, d.c.a.f.

I feel like I should be able to get this on Lifehacker.

Two fun birthday parties tonight with a companionable stroll along the half-upgraded river towpath connecting them …

Half the people I know seem to be having a birthday this weekend

It is fun playing Firefly Fluxx with Firefly fans because they get all happy about things on the cards I don't understand.
