Dad Joke of the Day came to me early when some fellow dog walkers coming the other way said “Hello, gorgeous!”
“Ooh, thank you!” I replied, nonchalantly tussling my hair and striking a coquetteish pose.

A Litre of Coffee
Some mornings… you just gotta make a whole damn litre of coffee.
(for iced coffee purposes, of course; and definitely not just for me!)
Hot Dog Mess
Demmy would like to know why I haven’t turned off the UK’s heatwave yet. 🥵
Iced coffee and air con
Iced coffee and air con. Possibly the only things that’ll keep me sane, working in the UK’s current heatwave (especially with the schools closed and kids sent home!).
F-Day plus 130
A hundred and thirty days since we got flooded out of our home, and remedial works are starting to ramp up. Today an electrician, tracing a fault that’s developed in the wiring, cut a hole through a wall to repair it and threw up so much dust that it’s hard to see anything!
I was nearby, helping a restoration company assess the damage to the ride-on lawnmower that was in the garage and whose motor hasn’t started since (the garage saw some of the deepest water that hit us), when I heard the fire alarm and went to check on them. All is well: we don’t need to add ‘fire’ to the list of disasters befalling our house this year!
Bus LAN
Star network topologies are more common, but you can still occasionally find these…
Theatreland Double Takes
Hanging out in London’s theatreland, attracting double-takes (and a handful of thumbs-ups!) for my t-shirt…

The hours of queuing pays off! Let’s go!
West End Live queue
Back of the queue for West End Live. It’s gonna be a long wait, but hopefully worth it!
Note #29497
Off to London for a couple of days of musical theatre fun! Don’t wait up!
F-Day plus 125
125 days since our house flooded, and the damaged furniture fittings, floors, underfloors, and now inner walls have been torn out.
Over a third of a year since we had to move out, I’m optimistic that perhaps, at last, reconstruction work is almost ready to begin.
It’s a long, slow process. And there’s clearly a way to go. But it’s good to see progress happening.
Note #29482
🎶 It starts with sausage,
A hot dog in a bun.
One simple sausage,
Put some mustard on one…
Is it just me, or are (sinner) Sir Pentious‘s colours reminiscent of a hot dog?
The chair guardian
I guess it’s sweet that the dog has decided that I’m not to leave my home office without her noticing.
But when the naps right behind my wheelie chair I worry she’s going to get her paws run over!
Tango Two
Making another attempt at learning to tango, this time at a more-beginner, more-local class. It’s still super hard but he makes me question whether I even know how to walk, let alone dance, but I love it so much!
