Just had a thoroughly enjoyable trip to Royal Victoria country park with @Troggie. The chapel continues to be lovely.

A stained glass window at the end of a Victorian chapel, below a vaulted ceiling. The space in front is taken up with museum displays, showing that it used to be part of a military hospital.
The ceiling of the chapel. It is divided into nine rectangular sections. The three in the centre feature a circular golden pattern. The ceiling features plaster designs trimmed in gold paint.
Two trees in the foreground of a park that slopes down to a broad river. A path cuts between them.

John K. Samson - Virtute At Rest

A song about a fictional dead cat that makes me want to cry.

“So let us rest here like we used to
In a line of late afternoon sun”

Christ. 😿

Was thinking earlier about how many people I followed on Twitter I still see regularly on here.

About five, I think.

Kind of a shame, but hey ho. Such is life.

It occurs to me that what I really crave from a job is one where I can put my headphones on and just get lost in a task for 8 hours straight.

Like, I dunno, a monk transcribing ancient texts, or coding something. I just want to not have to think for a bit, y’know?

I’m very much enjoying all the people posting about stupid Vision Pro is, and how it’ll never catch on, and will be saving their posts for its tenth anniversary, when it’s on its tenth generation and barely fatter than a pair of regular glasses and everyone thinks it’s great.

Looking for #VideoGame recommendations.

I'm looking a co-op game to play with my wife that has a decent story, and that can be played in the same room?

We played It Takes Two recently, which was fun (although incredibly difficult in some places), but it seems to be fairly unusual in that it it's a split screen. Most co-op games these days seem to need to be played separately, meaning we have to communicate via voice comms.

Always a big fan of the mad shit trainers you find in TK Maxx.

I would not wear these shoes.

Multi-coloured Adidas trainer that is primarily yellow and purple. It has stitched flowers in the heel, with loose threads that are supposed to the stems of the flowers. There’s a small bag of plastic cubes with various letters, and colourful beads. I’ve no idea why. Horrendous.

Been watching Taskmaster, and am disturbed to learn that Little Alex Horne is 6'2".

@scary_cat_lady It was your birthday yesterday, and I forgot to message you!

Merry birth, you lovely bloody lovely!

Feeling weirdly caught between chill and melancholy this evening.

The couple of days spent helping my MiL weren’t anywhere near as arduous as I feared they’d be, and while the drive up there yesterday was crappy (3 hours for a <2 hour journey), the drive back today was nice.

Drunk a couple of beers, watched some TV, mooched about online.

Bed time now, with a lay in tomorrow, and not a huge amount to do. Looking forward to it.

Oh, I'm made up! The official festival photographer has added my photos to the Sidmouth Folk Festival photos! I'm in the seafront albums Saturday 5th, and Sunday 6th, and also the horse trials album Sunday 6th. I'm doing my hobby well! (Yes, hobbies should just be about doing a thing to enjoy it, but my brain needs to know I'm doing it correctly and perfectly for me to enjoy it. Hooray for external validation)
