I like doing flat-pack furniture. They're like Airfix kits for grown-ups.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Wandering museums with nephews and nieces. Lots of fun!

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

I forgot to mention at the time, but I chose the hottest Saturday I can remember to do a bit of decorating. Not a good idea. I think I must have lost a couple of litres of sweat!

Back in the office for the first time since May 24th - when I fell and broke my foot. After 7+ weeks of working from home, it's a bit of a shock. I got used to my animal co-workers. Not sure about these human ones.
My life is one long week of stupid clothing benders.

Animal co-workers are often the best. Mine are nice and lazy, and other than occasionally demanding bathtub drinks, are pretty happy to just hang around in the same room as me.

Fixing a dead laptop. Came back from my travels and the little beggar chose to play dead. Thankfully sorted, assume it didn't like being home alone.
