My all black car Tibbles, loafing on his favourite blanket.

My white and red cat Neelix curled up with his head upside down on the cat tree top bed.

#Caturday #Goodbye

A poster showing Cheshire Cat hanging upside down from a branch, a enhanced still from the movie Alice In Wonderland, the cat rather sarcastically says “goodbye” to Alice each time before he disappears, this is quoted on the poster.
( Note that I made this myself some years ago, long before AI shit was taking over, though ik did steal the still from an online image search. )

@wombat37.bsky.social It I could, I’d bring you coffee and stroopwafels. Take care. 🤗

I’ve had it all restored years ago but it was back to a disaster in no time, so not much faith anymore. Will go to a clinic and have them advise/quote the options. But first need to know how much compensation I’m getting. (Not related.)

Basil @basdriver.bsky.social · 13h

Still have the wisdom teeth, but if it is a tooth, it’s a broken one further up front. Planning on going to a dentist where they put you down completely rather than local anaesthetic, but don’t know yet if I’ll be able to afford a full restoration or have it all pulled out and get partial fakes.

waiting for my compensation to be approved (Nov 16) before I look into restoration of my teeth and the ear thing is never going to be fixed anyway. Resorted to a NSAID (naproxen) but now I’ve got a headache, additional paracetamol is not helping. 😣

Since I had my flu, an infection has taken hold of me somewhere and I can’t place if it’s my chronic ear issue playing up, or a tooth of my crumbling teeth. Either way, I have got to get it under control,

Vandaag een collega - “Als ze t me vragen zeg ik PVV maar ik ga er niet op stemmen want dan gooi ik m’n stem weg, hij krijgt niks voor elkaar.” Ik hoop dat er veel zo denken en dus de polls niet kloppen. Ik ben maar niet begonnen over hoe onzinnig die stelling is, iedere stem minder is er één.

Amazing how quiet the Dutch media is about the biggest protests in decades in the US. Why would you mention a success in non violent protesting? You can’t do that of course, before you know it, people get ideas of doing the same. 🙄 #FAIL #FuckTheMedia

Wait, is it #SundayPixStack or #SundayPixStackS ? I’ll leave them both here just in case.

I know there’s spotters out there all the time, but usually they take pictures and are on motorway overpasses and such. It’s a bit unusual, also because the YouTube profile says absolutely nothing.

Basil @basdriver.bsky.social · 6d

Another driver form my depot send it to me, his brother found it and since our orange trucks are highly recognisable, he send it to him. It was the next day so it didn’t take long. I know there’s spotters out there all the time, but usually they take pictures and are on motorway overpasses and such.

I have no idea who this person is or why it filmed me, let alone why it was uploaded to YouTube, but it’s there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Obviously I’ve only seen that afterwards, otherwise I probably at least would have asked if she was okay or needed help. 🫤

Basil @basdriver.bsky.social · 8d

Yes. At first I thought it was some weirdo for one of the neighbours who gets the strangest guys at weird hours. But the footage shows her wandering passed, looking in, looking around and then ring the bell, after which she seems confused and stand for a while before leaving. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Basil @basdriver.bsky.social · 8d

Some girl or woman just rang my door bell at 4:30 in the morning. Had to look the footage back to see, who rings a strangers bell at that time? Should I have responded? She didn’t look panicked, but I didn’t see that it appears to be a girl on slippers, so I ignored it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A still from my security camera showing what looks to be a young woman or a girl on slippers, somewhat confused.

(The scaffolding for the renovation work and the reflection of the kitchen lights make it somewhat hard to see.)

Basil @basdriver.bsky.social · 12d

Yeah, for a tourist it would be. But I’m working… 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Bandcamp edition of Neon Scenes II: Echoes of Then has a 10-minute Meditation Version that is not available on streaming services.

How cool to see someone buying that track specifically. It reaffirms my decision to do the release it this way. 😊
