The view out front is clearly autumn but the back garden is baking in a summer’s day. Spiders apparently chasing flies from one to the other.

“I’ve been in this room before”—my childhood terror at the holodeck scene from ‘Schisms’ continues to add a tingly piquant on rewatches.

Slowly trying to add some colour and texture differentiation. I want to push towards a dirty, patinaed gold for the metal.

Currently trying to grok non-metallic metal. Baffled by how well it seems to be going.

Like most of ex-birdsite iOS, I resisted but ultimately followed @stroughtonsmith down the rathole of getting back into mini painting as a kinda harmless midlife crisis… somehow I now own a 3D printer.

There’s a comforting thok-thok-thok out there of a neighbour doing something maintenancey to their house. I may clean the kitchen in solidarity.

You and me, productive stranger. thumps chest

This beautiful beast has just arrived.

For some reason my brain goes to Zodiac. It must be 99% vibe.

Is there a genre of film which is just pre-horror horror? Something with the vibe of The Shining before all the spook-em-ups. Vaguely banal but off-kilter normalcy, with the sense of something coming.

Finding the permanent-train-chill video the day after I discovered that TikTok can be a dedicated provider of goofy animal videos. I have quite the weekend ahead.

Already considering if a single TV in the house could be dedicated to one of these on a loop. Any time, day or night, train-room-and-chill.

Tunnels!

How am I only now learning that there are ten hour long YouTube videos of Norwegian train journeys to the Arctic circle? Peak content ❤️ https://youtu.be/3rDjPLvOShM

A comfortable, on-for-the-evening rain.

There’s a tick-tickety-tick drip-onto-metal out there, purposefully unidentified. It kicks in as some saturation point is hit; “this can’t be argued with, get thee to a sofa”.

Just wrote a unit test that included an ‘expected’ variable and a ‘feared’ variable.

14:07

Weird dreams of knitting tag and search term metadata into my jumpers.

05:41

Just windy enough for every green thing to ripple.

09:52

Wait, it’s autumn again somehow? Did we forget a couple of seasons last year?

19:36

Maybe the problem is with me.

TFW it drops from 11°C above seasonal highs to a mere 3° above and you start to eye the winter jumpers.
