My gift to you - Christmas fitness influencers with added fart noises! 🎅🏻💭

Vicky and I loved being in #Wales but it’s great to be back to our girl Luna. #CatsOfBluesky

This is my favourite kind of tree, an old, gnarly, lichen-covered hawthorn in the middle of a field in #Wales. Looks like it’s fallen over, but the wind up here just forced it to grow that way. Loads of patches of wool show it to be a popular scratching spot for local sheep.

While Vicky and I are in Wales, our friend Julie is popping round twice a day to feed Luna and give her some company. She’s great at getting photos of our girl a lot better than we can! Luna looks like a renaissance painting here. ❤️ #CatsOfBluesky

In #Wales near Arenig Fawr just north of Bala. Visited a couple of abandoned farmhouses, one that had been overgrown for decades, another which appears to be getting restored.

You know what solves the “problem” of people you don’t like being in your bathroom? Gender-neutral toilets. Our office has 7 or 8 large cubicles with floor-to-ceiling doors & their own sinks. Every gender uses them and nobody cares.

Sorry for the cringeworthy pre-beard photo, but I just wanted to say: Trans women are women. Trans men are men. NBs are NBs. Don’t know what else to say. 🏳️‍⚧️

Currently rewatching S1 of #StarWars #Andor. Even better on a second watch. Those first couple of episodes have so much terrific world building. The factory shootout in episode 3 is great! I’m open-minded and have enjoyed all of the Disney SW shows, but Andor really is the best. Can’t wait for S2.

Absolutely true! I’m currently waiting for a diagnosis for both autism and ADHD. It’s entirely possible I don’t have either but I just want to know, because something has been “a bit off” about me all my life. I wouldn’t want a cure, I just want self-knowledge.

Huge congratulations to Vicki @gtgvicki.bsky.social the best community manager in games, who’s getting married today! Hope you have a lovely day! ❤️

My view this Sunday morning. ❤️#CatsOfBluesky

I am now treating the sharing of AI slop as a means of filtering out online friends. If anyone I know shares an AI image of themselves as a Ghibli character or (currently) an action figure, that’s an instant unfollow and block. It’s not “harmless fun”. It goes against everything Ghibli represents.

Our little chonk had her annual vet checkup last week. Some minor tooth decay and a slight heart murmur, but nothing to worry about. She’s just middle-aged. (And the heart murmur could have been due to the stress of a vet visit.) ❤️

Ha! I really liked The Robot Revolution, despite being very silly and straining all logic. Great fun setup for the season while continuing the theme of strange coincidences from last year. Aesthetically, it felt like very much like a McCoy story. Love Belinda! #DoctorWho

Vicky and I are at a dressmaker where she’s going to have her wedding dress converted into a more everyday summer dress. It’s been nearly 16 years and I have to say when I saw her in it again I got very emotional! ❤️

My thoughts on Generative AI

At work I worry that I don’t have much to talk about with colleagues as I’m not much of a gamer (apart from Dave The Diver!) But get me on the subject of cats and I could probably talk your ears off. And then I worry I’m a bit of a bore because I don’t have much else! 😄 #CatsOfBluesky

With the world being the way it is, you can imagine my joy at discovering the concept of #Bloomscrolling on Bluesky. My own contributions are these shots of the wisteria in our back garden in full blossom from 2024. There are fresh buds popping out already so this year’s blossom isn’t far off. 🌸🌸🌸

It’s #PortfolioDay apparently! I swear it gets earlier every year… I haven’t drawn much in a while and when I do it’s mostly #DoctorWho or superheroes. (I’m more a graphic designer these days).
