Slapovi Krke

What was funny was when I moved closer it watched me but wasn't worried, but when K moved closer it almost left

Clearly I am beloved by corvids

We had such a gorgeous but long day today and I am still thinking about this little guy that I watched bathe for a while, enchanted by how magical and privileged it felt to be trusted to stay so close ✨

Soph holding an ice cream

Over 17k steps, 6k walk, kayaked 4k

I literally have clumps of tree in my hair

I have never deserved an ice cream more

What's interesting about this and the recent parkrun thing is that Nike seems to think there is some rift between runners and walkers. The running community actively encourages walking as a means to get to running, as a way to recover mid-run, and as a literal strategy for completing marathons.

Yeah it's been awful 😫

Me: hmm yeah I think I'll have one drink and go home

I'm pleased to say that the EES is not working so 👍🏻

We did NYE in Dubrovnik years ago and it was so much fun

Split! Never been, though I've been to Croatia before

Holiday starts here!

We checked in, they thought it was our anniversary (?), upgraded us, then downgraded us

Ah well

The skittles taskmaster task... We're all cracking up. Not laughed so much in a long time

Sorry to my neighbours who must have heard me going DO YOU WANNA GO ON A KAYAK OR NOT!?

I don't understand how there are supposedly reasonable caps on travelling in London yet I was just charged £25

Can I just say once again that in NYC the subway is $2.75 and it doesn't matter where you go on the network, it's open 24/7, and has express and local trains and somehow manages to work ok

My second project today: introducing my dad to the wonders of AI tools

Thank you 😃

Toy story!

Blue salt pig of the aliens from Toy Story. His ear and antenna are intact

Restored to his former glory!

When people are like "what are your hobbies" I'm like well actually I did do pottery for a while and genuinely astounded myself at what I was able to do, but I don't do it anymore 😔

A blue salt pig shaped like the aliens from Toy Story, the antenna and one ear are missing. Super glue is next to it.

I've found a new project

Now that I'm remembering bits of it the whole thing has a surprisingly sympathetic take on Judas

Watching the John legend JCS concert and it turns out I remember way too much of the songs and so I'm just singing along

🎶For the sake of the nation
This Jesus must die
Must die, must die,
This Jesus must die🎶

It's surprisingly catchy 😬

I think I would honestly be happier not knowing like 90% of the stuff I am forced to know through virtue of having access to the internet

Yeah I'm being a grouch again

@athenepallas.bsky.social I saw you'd messaged and I can't reply, lol. Sorry.
