Let me just take a moment in between things to mention that it is ridiculously cold. The only time it is allowed for it to be this fucking cold is when I’m in my cat sanctuary in a remote Swedish forest. In wintertime. Unacceptable. 😖🥶

Just finished sending out angry emails. I hate it. Trying to be polite yet not letting them run all over me. But I have to push back, sick and tired of being ignored, tricked or mistreated by people who just don’t give a fuck. 😫

Considering that the neighbour thinks the peace flag is from a satanic cult and my pride flag is “too much”, I wonder what she thinks of my new front door decoration. 😹😹

Been trying to think of a good way to make it possible to charge my motorbike’s battery without taking it apart, turns out that Yamaha already did that thinking and optionally included a winter storage drip charger, with plug. All I need is the right connector. (Already ordered.) 😺

Question for the #Saab / #Car #DIY #Mechanics - Replacing my 9-5 ‘s brakes (front and rear, discs and pads), rear hubs (bearings) and front bearings (have a press at work), doable on the street? As far as I know, no special tools needed?

#Neelix decided to take on the #Tibbles. He lost. Not just to him, but more so to me, as I made it clear who’s leader of the pack. 😹 Of course he knew, so he’s now sweetening me up on my lap. 😹😺😽

Gek hè. Altijd als ik negatief ben over een product en met een review dit wil laten weten aan andere potentiële kopers bij Bol punt com, krijg ik een “storing”. Vast en zeker heel toevallig. 🙄

YouTubeMusic really needs to do something about the volume variations between plays. Surely it shouldn’t be technically difficult to level the volume from one track to the next on a playlist? 🫤

This album by pianist Fabrizio Paterlini is amazing. He is a friend of mine and I love his work, he has played several styles and forms over the years. But this is different.

Stunning show last night from Fabrizio Paterlini and his friends on violin & cello! If you have a chance to see it live, go do it, you won’t be disappointed.
Check out his music, on all platforms.

Just woke up out of a coma I think. After the stressful morning I had a lovely evening. Got home late and made me a hot chocolate with a good shot of Baileys, before going to bed. Didn’t sleep through the night but most of it and only just got up half an hour ago. 😴 I needed it after this last week.

This an old album of mine - 2011, but whatever sales I make from it go to Cancer Research, not that it sells much these days and it's pay what you want anyway. There is a track on there dedicated to a great friend who passed from Cancer whilst I was recording it - 'song for Lucy'.

Killing some time before the concert tonight, I find myself in a strange place full of … 😬 … people! 😱 And things called shops, but not the online kind. Strange place.

Now the waiting begins. Will anyone show up? Will any work get done? Will they bugger off before the afternoon? 🤮

Got home early as I have two days off and I was like “Great! I’m hungry so I can eat early today.” It is now 19:30 and I’m still dealing with the crap I found when I got home. Ruined hedge, broken gutters, overflowing scaffolding, cleaning the bathroom in case they do come tomorrow. Fuck. This. 🤬🤬

When I got this place in 2019, there was a ruined hedge, left like that after they put up scaffolding to paint the side wall. Since I have been working to get it to grow back. Today they’ve destroyed it again. I am so fucking sick of this “renovation” shit making things worse and ruining my stuff. 🤬

When my TV goes into power safe mode, it displays a message “hit any button except on/off to return”, so of course I always hit the on/off when it does that. 🤷🏻♂️

Oh! Oh! I know a good wish! Yes! I want a wish that I can use to be able to just think of what groceries I need, clap my hands and bang! they’re here. Oh boy. Would that be a good wish. Anyone who can spare me a wish? Please?
