moved to a house with an induction hob and our biggest pan wasn't compatible. our second biggest pan is NOT big enough for the batch cook lentil chili recipe.

I was at gloucester not tebay but they're owned by the same people!

top surgery pre-op today

i post things to my Instagram story that are completely incomprehensible to my 57 year old mother, like a video of a baby moorhen captioned "he feet too big for he gotdamn he" and she will infallibly like the story anyway

"most unrealistic thing abt project hail mary is a woman is in charge" wrong. look up the glass cliff. she says she will be the "world's whipping boy," and women are most likely to be put in positions of power when a whipping boy is needed

love the random service station in gloucester that has a duck pond and a bougie farm shop. I have an expensive artisinal teacake and I am watching the baby moorhens. there was a kestrel. soon I must return to the M5

I'm in the trenches over project hail mary actually it has me in a chokehold. I started rereading the book

iron lung 🤝 project hail mary
Building an entire spaceship with physical effects and putting a guy in there to go insane by himself

project hail mary kind of makes me angry at every other movie. there's so much marvel slop where everything is cheap offshored CGI filmed in a green box and they all look terrible. and PHM didn't use any green screen and used predominantly practical effects and it was phenomenal

hung some hooks on the bedroom door to put my dressing gown on but I can't test it because there is currently a cat asleep on the dressing gown

Begging the people who are losing their ever loving shit about food waste bins to get a real problem

save me £1.50 jacket potato from the work canteen

finally saw project hail mary

It's Neil and he's banging out the tunes on April 13th 2006

20 years of Neil banging out the tunes

Sorry I can't come into work today I'm busy crying about the moon videos

tomorrow's job could be to mount another curtain rail but I'm putting it off because every window seems to have a steel lintel and drilling through it takes 1000 years

tomorrow's job is to assemble and mount some wall-mounted bedside cabinets

today I put up a curtain rail and put a door on a cabinet. I got a drill and by god will I affirm my gender with it

I need specifically 115cm blinds because that's how big the window is. I cannot exact search 115cm because exact search no longer works. I am wading through a quagmire of blinds that are not the right size, trying to give someone my money

pissed off that the enshittification of google search, which seems to in part be to make you buy more things/buy things from specific people, has just made it actually harder for me to buy things

the thing about moving house is that every day I need something from either B&Q, B&M, The Range or Dunelm. I yearn for a day I am not in one of those stores

first session back at the gym after like 7 weeks of being too busy moving house

new dev joined the team and he has a pride flag on the wall behind him let's go

Photograph of a black cat loafing on top of a white wardrobe

within 10 mins of finishing the wardrobe, she's up there

I'd love to do the type of shit in these videos, like I did get loads of paint on the light switches and the door latches that it'd be satisfying to get off but like, I don't really care about the latch plate having paint on when 75% of the doors don't actually latch properly anyway ya know

I have now ripped out the last of the stupid corner unit storage things that were wasting a bunch of space and impossible to clean, once my dad has cut us a couple of shelves and we put the cabinet door back we can finally finish unpacking the kitchen

I've spent the last week disassembling half the kitchen cabinets and costing up how much it'd be to rip out the whole bathroom and start over

the algorithm has cottoned on that I'm doing DIY so I keep getting "little things I'm doing to make my apartment nicer every day" type videos but my house is a looong way off from "little things" making a shit of difference

we have wooden stairs now (stair runner is pending) and I am in love with the ka-thump ka-thump ka-thump the cats make when they go down them

you know the indian food is about to be banging when you enter the restaurant to collect it and you are the only white person in the establishment
