This week’s photo challenge was “Orange”.

I shuffled round Royal Victoria Park in my Deadpool pyjamas to capture this quite orangey building.

When I was going through photos of Dad and me, there was one I put in the slideshow but couldn’t figure out where it was taken.

I was just scrolling through the clock app to this video of Polperro, Cornwall and I knew immediately.

More or less in the exact same spot.

As a consequence of renaming our video doorbell “bum hole” and getting the new tv, I can now shout “show me my bum hole “ at the TV as a legitimate command.

I am 44.

FFS Dashlane are moving to annual subscription.

I’ve got everything set up so I have access to mum’s passwords and encrypted notes on anything that isn’t online login. It’s really handy.

If I want to keep it, as of next month I’ll need to find £70+.

It’s the worst timing financially too.

I hope whoever made this decision wakes up with an unbearably itchy asshole.

I get really irritated when I subscribed for a certain type of content on YouTube and that channel decides to do something else.

For example, one of my subscriptions who did very chill videos about driving round London is now only posting football matches.

Another did nice videos about travelling round UK canals on a boat for years then suddenly sold it and now does videos about their house in Scotland.

Obviously when you subscribe to people who are posting personal content, their lives change and so will their content. I do understand that.

But I didn’t sign up for football, I have no interest in it at all. I have no interest in a Scottish house either.

Why can’t these people just keep doing what I want? It’s just rude.

Obviously I’m not serious.
I just miss chill driving videos and canal boat content.

Met these splendid, tiny flowers this morning. They’re growing up from the moss between the bricks on a bridge and seem to be having a great time.

And I reiterate my stance that "yes" and "later" should never be the only two options for anything.

I’ve missed having my coffee on the deck and I’ve definitely missed the sunshine. It’s so warm I could almost take my fleece off. Almost.
Molly appreciates the company too.

Exam cancelled, got my painkillers and I’ve just spotted a brand new Annapurna release on Game Pass.
My day is looking significantly improved!

I’ve gone and somehow removed mum’s home screen from her phone because she was complaining about some Samsung notifications.
So now her screen looks like this…

Troggie,
@Troggie@mendeddrum.org avatar

But it used to look like this.
This is her old phone.
I don’t use android at all. Can someone help please??

Her gallery app doesn’t look like that and I have no idea how to get that “apps” icon back.

Troggie,
@Troggie@mendeddrum.org avatar

I don’t really want to reset the whole thing. What have I done? users please help?

Also she says this thing didnt used to be there when she swiped right. I have no idea how to get rid of it

Troggie,
@Troggie@mendeddrum.org avatar

@soheb yes but they look different. You see how the gallery icon used to be orange? It’s the same app but the theming(?) is changed.

Stressful day taking our old bed 2 hours to mum’s so I can stay overnight and actually sleep and not end up in a lot of pain.

Our “new” bed (given to us by BIL) has solid slats that are way too hard for me so I wanted to keep our nice ones from IKEA.

“There’s no reason why the new slats wouldn’t fit on the old bed” @DJDarren says to me.
We could’t check because the old bed is already dismantled.

The slats do not fit.

D has just gone to buy a saw.

Been playing The Talos Principle II on my Mac for the past couple of days. It's a great game, but it's Windows only.

Thing is, using Whisky on my Mac means that the game is perfectly playable. The graphics aren't great, but I don't really know how they're supposed to be, so they're fine for me. And bear in mind my MacBook has a base M2 and no fan, so it'll never offer amazing graphics with that setup.

But the fact that it plays at all keeps blowing my mind. A Windows game, playing on a Mac.

@DJDarren you could stream it from Holly without issue. Though not this morning obviously.

@Troggie@mendeddrum.org avatar

@DJDarren of course! You must do the thing in a way the thing wasn’t exactly meant to be done and then get all grumpy because the thing isn’t working.

If it weren’t for the machines and people trying to kill me, I’d almost feel like I’m on my holidays.

@DJDarren dunno, haven’t been there yet. Pretty sure it’s a lookout.

For the last week or so I’ve been keeping a close eye on our garden cam to see if our little hedgehog friend had woken up yet.

Absolutely delighted to wake up to this footage this morning.
