#SilentSunday the Lee river at Broxbourne
We were woken up this morning by Cabernet who decided to bring a live bird into our bedroom at 6am! Luckily the bird found its own way out quite quickly but that's one hell of a kickstart to your day 🙂
Catnip: Not even once!
Sauvignon after having a good roll around in the nip...

#NotOurCat having a nap after a long day in the sun. To be fair, our cats are probably in his garden and he's a beautiful boy.
I guess the weather has cooled down enough for Cabernet to settle down for some afternoon attention...

An American: socialism is bad
Same person: please donate to my ko-fi
Not bad, although I'm sure we had a better crop last year...
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, isn't it about time we started killing rich people?
A refreshing cold cider after today's bike ride. 35km today and the cloud cover we were promised did not materialise. Still, an enjoyable ride and Broxbourne is getting closer! #BikeTooter
I am gutted that OnePlus are closing their European operations. Ever since their first offering I have been a massive fan. I owned the 1, 2, 5 and 10 and I guess that gap between 5 and 10 is the problem. Their phones were so good that you didn't need to upgrade.
I really wish the cats would stop bringing live mice into the house.
I was sat in the garden, enjoying a free listen to the Four Tet concert in Finsbury Park but the police helicopter is ruining it.
Losing the will to live... No one should have to work on AWS dashboards on a Friday
Picking blackberries is a very good way to get scratched and bitten. Ouch.
Just went out and foraged 1.5kg of blackberries which are now steeping in ethanol for the latest installment of "Will it cello?"
One way interactions are very tiring
Raspberry+limoncello is currently rocking my world.
I'm going in...
At the Bloomsbury Theatre to see Gary Delaney this evening. Looking forward to a night of side splitting one liners 😃
I feel like soggy biscuit is an apocryphal tale - I've never known anyone who has admitted to playing it (who would?) or knowing of others who played it. Unless Nick here did play it at his school...
I was cleaning the BBQ and happened to notice one of our #cats going into our neighbour's upstairs bathroom. I alerted the neighbour and was told by them that our cats are in their house quite frequently.
Our normal train was boned today but on our way home we got a faster train that slightly overshoots our stop, but one stop back on the Victoria line fixes that and now we have a much higher quality way to get home of an evening. 😃
Someone from apple bragging about their theft from an open source project. Sigh
Picked up from the wine tasting yesterday. An organic and biodynamic rose from the south of the Rhone valley. Looks like a red, but lacks the depth of tannin for any real comparison to be made. Very delicious but I think it will need an ice cube.
"Let me fetch my clipboard..." Might be a new thing for me to annoy people with
@darkdotfail@mastodon.social what is up with your Onion site?

@tig@mastodon.org.uk damn, I missed an opportunity there 😉
And yeah, I guess it was just it's unlucky day - happens to us all

One of the most amazing things I have ever seen was a wasp cutting it's way out of a sarracenia - totally made it to freedom :)
I found a cheese named after me!

@tig@mastodon.org.uk ouch! I saw on Grand Designs once that you can get special glass that has UV markings on that makes it easier for birds to see it is there but I'm guessing that's not cheap.
I so want to reply to the dumb fuckwit and call him out on his bullshit. But it won't change his mind and will just make my angrier so I'll just settle with this sub-toot. What a cunt.
Knocked out another 25km bike ride and I have to say, it's starting to feel a bit easier. Maybe we can go a bit further next time...
We did our big exercise yesterday so that today could be a do nothing day, so far this is working out very well.
Hand of God, anyone?
Cabernet was up on my desk telling me about how hungry she was and how I hadn't ever feed her but when I took this picture she was in the middle of winking at me 🤣

It's happening!!! \o/
America, the land of the free. America, the land where a private company can set up a surveillance network that they sell to the government.
I guess my phone's GPS had a few issues on the walk today...
Did another ride out to Enfield Lock. Far too hot and I caught far too many bugs but managed to take a minute off my time, so good progress. Had an empanada from a boat cafe on the way home, it was delicious. Now time for a refreshing drink...
A remix that is way better than the original...

Is the other third high? https://archive.ph/bZTAJ
In a world full of unreliable Ubers, it's very reassuring to know that Addison Lee still exist.
Added another 4km to our bike ride today - turns out that was being too cautious and we could have gone further, so next week we will 🙂
Broxbourne, we will get to you eventually...
