Some days the #coding starts out really well and then by the end of the day you have a headache and are debating whether you can fake your death, assume a new identity on a Greek island and run a taverna.

"The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them." - Turkish Proverb

An eternally pertinent proverb considering the British electorate.

I'd add Daredevil to the mix, but I also consider that mostly separate given it was originally on Netflix.

But aside from that the MCU as a whole feels tired and worn out.

Dramatic classical music playing while I'm annotating R code may end up with a broken keyboard because damn if I'm not adding *flourish* while I type.

I have become a yogurt girly. I am okay with this part of my thirties.

That said I do live in a pretty part of the world.

Mild case of extensor tendonitis so no running or climbing for me for a few days but can go on silly little mental health walks because my Garmin has made me a human tamagochi.

Stonewall feel very...dated? Like they've not felt relevant since maybe the early 00s, and now have the "we were so progressive once how dare you stop supporting us since we stopped caring and became permissive of hate?!" attitude.

This.

Reminder that shes not just a bigot with bad opinions

She actively funds hate groups taking regular trans people to court for doing their jobs, signal boosts lies about individual trans people to her millions of followers and lobbies courts and government to attack us

Pomegranate, like me, is such a dramatic fruit to deal with.

Sunday is sponsored by whey bread.

And a peregrine overhead. Absolutely love my garden.

A screenshot with a list of UK bird species recorded from a one minute listening using the Merlin App. The birds include a blackbird, great tit, wren, wood pigeon, robin, blackcap and chaffinch

Not bad for a minute recording song in the garden.

Dwi wir yn mwynhau clywed hysbiadau yn Gymraeg.

Honestly loving hearing adverts in Welsh, it makes me so happy.

Wader surveying today turned up two lapwing, two cuckoo (seen), godwit, stonechat and a lot of wheatear.

Love wheatears as the name actually comes from White Arse.

Today is brought to you by frustration in data quality. Screaming into the void will commence in ten minutes.

Honestly more people should do fun and nice things like this. Also more adults should engage in play. I think many forget how to have fun because that's "for kids".

Planted some seeds last week and they're not yet fully grown. Honestly? Slacking.

Somehow me deciding to have a digital declutter has also ended with me wanting to make a more concerted effort to use this site.

But like a lot of gays I am now nervous about committing.

While @rspb.bsky.social #biggardenbirdwatch isn't a competition, getting a kingfisher scoping out my pond within the first five minutes feels like I'm winning 😉

Also you can tell the initial scramble for my phone when it turned up photo

Experimenting with stuffed crust.

I beheld the extent of infinity and it was disappointed with me. Turns out that was not enough pineapple on the pizza.

Just had a Reform leaflet through my letterbox and honestly would have preferred anthrax.

Llongyfarchiadau enfawr am 8 mlynedd!

Missing this view right now while it's cold and wet in Wales and I'm about to start work.

And so proud of you 🥰

Running the Marathon today with these two is easily one of my proudest achievements.

It was hot, it was hilly, and signing up for it was very silly. But we all smashed it.

Massive thank you to @thehistoryboy.bsky.social and @jackshoulder.bsky.social. You should donate to their fundraising.

Brb just getting ready for a little run in actual Marathon with @thehistoryboy.bsky.social and @richwithtea.bsky.social

Here's the all important giving link :)

He's got the far off look in his eyes that you only see in Eastern European gay porn.
