Got annoyed with the Bluetooth trackpad guzzling batteries. Fake AA batteries + USB for power + minor modification = no more batteries
Redder than red (crocosmia lucifer)
Nice place to visit
Starting holiday reading early before the train
Almost the weekend lovelies
Bunch of stones
Do I want a "grill experience"? I don't think I do. I just want to eat food?
Finally got a cd player.
Peaceful garden lunch after an hour in the MRI (routine stuff)
Roughly done but that's end of the long weekend hooter going off - wheels, bit of sanding and oiling but happy with that. Will fit a bunch of mixer, cables and audio bits inside to be a movable production trolley too.
Polly has Feelings again
Yes they did replant the forest, no the trees are not very big
New PSP Lumines high score 485000
We don't get pics of the kittens (they're 3!) together much these days
Mia and her favourite snooze spot in the afternoon is the big cabin sofa, ideally in the sun. (Not shown, large soundsystem banging out Jon Hopkins)
Double void cats
Hello Rye
Skies are back
Something has gone very wrong with the kitchen shit hifi that normally will not play Spotify. 80s hits, autonomously. Hmmm is there a message? It’s playing Eye Of The Tiger from Rocky now.
The specific cause of my downfall yesterday. Who has a “sale” on beer, what a bad idea
Great vibes, must return soon
Jam packed today (no really - car park is overflowing)
Wall panels continue, slowly slowly …but each one is a triumph!
Nice autumn day
“Oh why do you park all the way over the other end of the car park Paul?” … because people are clumsy idiots and should be graded in ability to be allowed to park, operate doors, leave notes or apologies
Visited the old camp site, as the sun was going down. Nice memories.
Peripheral rewatch. So ridiculously good, so sad 😢 it was cancelled. Bahhhh
It’s very cold out but how often do you see this in south wales? (I would not have thought the answer would be “a few times a year”)
Fabulous noises from @a_bear_sounds last night at Levitation #levitation24
What’s the deal with these chairs I see everywhere on insta? Horrible. Have they always existed? Yuck
Floor next. Decision time. Quite into the Corka white cork planks from @colourflooring - Rug from @chimneysheep and the wall panels are poplar ply with raw @osmo_uk oil sanded silky smooth
Bye bye rainy island, next stop … um rainy Paris
Live Aid on the big telly on the hottest day of the year is pretty strong in the feels.
Have you seen these cute little double-ended USB sticks? The case is the entire width of the metal usb-a plug and the c end is protected by a twizzle. Really nice.
Ten I liked from the RA summer show
Four years arrivaversary for little Kuba
Cool truck, very hillbilly
Photo dump from last weekend at The Great Escape in Brighton / accidental Eurovision
Indeed
Sunny Tenby
Right, floor finished, room finished, near enough. Phew. Cosy. Nice white cork planks from @colourflooring ... saving up for wood flooring in the rest of the cabin now
Tucking into this book about Welsh cabins from @themodernist today
It says 6am but it is LIES
Hello sea, sun
Right, minibreak is go
Nice 4.45am shot from the kitchen doorway this morning
I mean honestly
Well this is nice, a little oasis in Limehouse.
Grey day but a walk to sort work thoughts is always helpful
Maximum leaf time
Bodega at Earth Hackney last night. Fun!
More campsite shots
Discovered a microbrewery and pub in my first 5 minutes in Lancaster. This nicely tasty 3.5% table beer going down nicely thank you after a bit of a drive today. Batmobile performed admirably.
Weasel murder
Back on the boards … but these little guys, I’m sorry but why? This isn’t gonna end well for you
Yeah it’s back AGAIN amazing
Loved seeing System 7 up close and serious. So much fun.
Finally removed the old electrical extension from the stable block and all the power is on the nice new fusebox. Kind of reassuring to have a known good earth, and be on the appropriate sized cable to the house.
Proof of touristique
A pompidump, mostly from the big comics exhibition I’d been meaning to catch and almost ran out of months. I enjoyed it.
Good morning NOT rainy Paris
£1.29 unleaded / full house on the Tesla stack
Proof of Pompidou. So vast. More later
New Teenage Engineering instruments have dropped … I kid, these are the homemade prototype instruments from Roland Moreno total French tech hero - invented the Chip on a card and clearly that caught on.
At first I thought bees have made a rotten post into a hive - not uncommon. But oh no 😣 not bees
Really enjoyed the volume of new work at the Hockney show. Maybe @taschen will need to publish a Bigger Book addendum?
Hello again buddy
Recycling an old one, as it was *very tight* to make the train. London, beers later - probably Mercato Elephant px
People are concerned he has started buying CDs again
Right. Good one Koko.
Morning sniffs take a while
Unprecedented in recent times, twice within a week to London
Weekend project arrived @_foresso #coffeetable
Kuba hanging out near the hammock.
Easter reading retreat, sadly the weather is ideal for that
The task of reshelving all the books is slow as you come across lovelies like this one, so spend a few minutes flicking through
Muddy muddy Kuba got a shower for his birthday. Oh dear.
Finally getting round to putting some flooring in. This is white Corka plank from @colourflooring which seems to be pretty easy to install.
Train home after a lovely weekend in England. I needed that. Thank you @siameezcat
but also…
Treasure found
Minibreak begin
Crumble for one, plus a waiting hound for “leftovers”
Hmmmm textured luxury wall?
Back in the gloom
21st century millionaire fishing village vibes. Nice tho
Well that was a change from yesterday
Feels like it’s been a little while since I did a London orbit
Clear evening in Keswick
Rare unplanned family snap. Dad isn’t allowed to smile as he looks like a pirate with his missing tooth.
Morning cows
A couple more but ahhh ooooh so brilliant. Not quite as strong to the eye as last time but pretty good! So lucky.
Bedford sunset. Big river. Much full
When your friends make nice things @circaeditions that arrive in the post
(Apologies to other friends, I have a big photos-of-books backlog…)
I remember it from that early scene in Until the End Of The World but didn’t know it lines up with L’Arc de Triomphe in the distance. Sadly the video payphones are no longer here
Fantastique
