More fabulous old knitting patterns of my grandma’s. Mostly 80s and earlier. Gotta love those looks

My old boss just said 'Orac' as well...so far it's a (tiny) landslide!

Oh no, THAT's what the old machine was called. Okay, so Orac's back in contention.

As you'll see on Insta, I subconsciously built the rig in a tasteful TARDIS blue box...

I've a feeling my machine before last was Orac...it eventually died with a black screen.

I could call it...the Earth!

I have reached the most important part of my new PC build. No, not the first boot, O/S install or configuring the pretty, pretty RGB lighting.

Giving it a new name. After 'K9' for the old machine, time to move on to something suitably geeky for the new one. Or overtly retro maybes...

Looking at holiday cottages - and let's just say with this one, you're never far from a bath!

Although that reminds of the time I was at a comic con and we accidentally confused all the US visiting guests that the clocks went back that night.

It was late March, and they'd go forward the following weekend. Cue a Sunday morning con missing a lot of it's key people for a while...

Watching 'High Rise' and wondering when Joe Dredd turns up to judge all these citizens?

Either that or Kier Edgar!

Afternoon spent installing brackets and retrofitting shelves to the remodelled kitchen cupboards after last weeks new extractor fan install.

Bit Heath Robinson but as the kitchen is already held together with glue and applied prayer, no one's going to mind.

Still a bit miffed I couldn't find a Castiel figure among all those saints and other angels.

My offer to take Mrs Llama out somewhere fun to cheer her up today resulted in an interesting trip. Even if her idea of 'fun' and mine might orthogonally divergent I suspect!

She didn't let me buy one of the in-action figures either. Not even St Spiderman...

Just realised the clocks change this weekend. So long BST, hello grim-dark GMT for the next six months.

Still, I've been getting up/coming home from campus in the dark for the past few weeks - so it won't make much of a week-day difference!

Oh noes, the lunchtime seminar on equitable partnerships I was off to has been postponed. Ah well, guess I'll just have lunch then instead.

Still, at least today's the first clear headed day I've had in the past week which is making work a whole lot easier today.

Well, okay, a tiny bit easier. 😀

The unalloyed delights this morning of waking myself up with a coughing fit.

I >think< I'm seeing the back of this cold finally, but I'll let you know.

Once I stop coughing.

Reader, she didn't buy any tofu.

I think this means the geese have been victorious. Damn them! 😂

Managed my bi-weekly update with the Boss without devolving into a coughing fit.

That came afterwards.

Bah!
