Naan (discus):
Average: 11.27m
Best: 12.01m
The final disintegration throw was not measurable and was deemed a foul under international bread-throwing law.
Replying to
The naan was triumphant.
Discus naan held the average record. But Frisbee naan achieved glory with the best distance of the day.
Replying to
With the final throw, I caught the wind perfectly and the Frisbee naan sailed out to an unprecedented 13.20m!
Replying to
Baguette:
Average: 10.30m
Best: 11.50m
(The first, timid throw of just over 8m really dragged down the average).
Replying to
The baguette remains edible (one grass mark aside) and will form lunch.
The naan was scattered over a wide area and has been deemed unfit for consumption. So it goes.
Replying to
Naan (Frisbee)
Average: 11.06m
Best......

Incidentally, autocorrect can cope with "Miniatur" but not "Wunderland" - I nearly sent a text to my wife last night informing her that I had visited Minaitur Sunderland.
Unfortunately the AI has escaped containment so now it's just contnment.

Went out to see if I could see any meteors from tonight's twin shower before I went to bed. One decent, slow-mover, but no fireballs as such.
Meanwhile, my wife diligently locked up... and bolted the door I'd gone out of.

Hamburg Zoo. Spot the animal beginning with "o".

@the_etrain@beige.party It should open the door for my series about hard-boiled detective Jake Cole.

RE: @cmniciosaig@mastodon.scot
Well done!
Hamburg Zoo seemingly alphabetises its animals, having otters share an enclosure with the orangutans.

Like a faint voice on the edge of hearing.... Like wind whispering in the night, tantalising with the promise of secrets to be revealed.. Like an echo in the mind, reverberating down the ages from the dawn of consciousness.... someone on this train is playing Freestyler by Bomfunk MC's just a little too loudly on their headphones.

@Nickiquote@mstdn.social I feel a bit hypocritical to be honest. I stopped buying Lego for myself a while ago (because of their association with certain transphobes) but 5yo has been asking to go to Legoland for years, so we're going. Also heading to Lalandia water park which looks ace, and there's a huge outdoor play park nearby too.

48 hours in Hamburg this weekend. German friends - any recommendations?
