Peter Capaldi: I've come back to music again after 40 years

Merry Christmas and happy Channukah to all who celebrate. I have no festive pictures but I do have a cat in a box.

Household discoveries: It turns out at my new apartment my dryer has a water tank that needs emptying occasionally. On the one hand happy I figured it out without needing to call maintenance, on the other hand I can see this getting annoying.

Got a long list of things to do but am currently sitting on the sofa while my cat gently snores and that seems the most important thing to do right now.

Tonight was the Blow Monkeys. They were great... and then they brought out one of the best Doctor Whos. Apparently people knew beforehand, I didn't.

Is American Football the only professional sport happy to continue playing through rain and snow?

Wishing all my US followers a happy Thanksgiving. Here is my American cat enjoying her Thanksgiving morning.

Today was clean out old apartment day. Naturally took twice as long as I expected but it is done. Tomorrow will be football on the telly and reorganising the cupboards at the new apartment. Never a dull moment.

Celebrating the small victories - this evening I managed to unpack all my books and get them onto the bookshelves. I'm sure I'll do plenty of rearranging but for now the books are on shelves.

The movers arrived just as i managed to retrieve my cat from her hiding spot under the bed. She's now shut away until everything is moved out and I know she's not happy but I think we're pretty much neck and neck on stress.

Just back from a brilliant gig by @aimeemann.bsky.social - just sublime. Happy to get to see Jonathan Coulton too.

Preparing to move next week and this evening have just cleared out all the bathroom cabinets and drawers - divided up what to take with me and ruthlessly threw everything else away. Very cathartic. However my cat is looking at me very suspiciously.

Had a big appraisal at work today. Messed up my talk timings so ended it abruptly and now feel depressed about the world and my work. Looking for some light.

A sleepy Gem wishing everyone a good morning

Wow things are indeed livening up here. For the people who started following me recently I am a sporadic poster at best but am trying to be a bit more present. I am a Brit living in Arizona with my cat. This weekend I am supposedly packing up as I'm moving soon, but mostly watching football. Oops.

Am trying to find my cats level of relaxedness but maybe sharing a picture helps.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #673,457! Surprised by this as it felt I came late, but I guess it was still in the era of invites so numbers have shot up since then. 1
