Anyone else spending a lazy Sunday reading about a coffin they're looking forward to seeing tomorrow? No, just me then?

Ellie looking cute, even in a cone!
(She's fine; she had surgery last week and is recovering well.)

Ripping CDs that are (probably) older than most of the people I work with.
Lots of possibilities! I hope you can enjoy a relaxed Easter break first :)

In case you were thinking about it, just don't.

Me in a high-viz vest over a black hoodie, in the park on a bright sunny day.
Hundreds of runners lining up to start today's parkrun, along an uphill slope arcing past a large pond.
Barcode scanning at Christchurch parkrun this morning. My 25th time volunteering!

Brilliant album :)
"All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers. That "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" section is pure nails on a chalkboard for me.
With a halo like that, his intentions are obviously pure.
This morning, my brain is hosting an epic earworm battle between Massive Attack's "Safe From Harm" and Steven Wilson's "Hand Cannot Erase". An odd combination but it almost works!

Three new CDs lying on a table, one still shrink-wrapped: Various "HELP(2)", English Teacher "This Could Be Texas" and Geese "Getting Killed"
Went into a record shop and bought some albums, like it's the 2000s.
(Can't remember when I last did, but it's certainly been a while!)
We're looking forward to seeing this!

Everybody thinks 'https:// stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds
A black and white (but mostly black) cat stalks towards you along a desk, into sunlight.
The house-panther approaches!

White image with the words "The evolution of the trash icon". On it are seven Windows "Trash icons", each with a year under it. (1995, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2015, 2025, and 2026) For 2025, the "Trash icon" is replaced with the Microsoft Teams icon. For 2026, the "Trash icon" is replaced with the Microsoft Copilot icon.
Good luck! It's not been as long for me, but enough to feel similar.

Ellie's first Christmas present, thanks to my sister and her family! There was lots of happy purring 🐈️

No explanations, no repeats (so far).
Maybe Ellie could share her expertise?

Happy new year! However your 2025 was, I hope 2026 is better.
Nothing could better sum up where we are as a culture

Get well soon!
I knew you would! (Me too.)
White text on a black background reads "Can you leave the lights alone please. Stop flashing the fucking lights".
