Here is some original hand drawn art. None of that AI rubbish. You’re welcome.
#art #notAI
Really badly drawn stick man against a green hilly background and blue sky. He is smiling and reaching upwards hopefully. But he will be disappointed and terrified as a mighty winged creature is swooping down (I didn’t  draw that as I’m rubbish at drawing if you hadn’t already guessed), but use your imagination. Unless you’ve been using AI to generate images in which case you have none. Anyway, about this winged thing, I picture a harpy like creature a bit like those Ray Harryhausen ones in Jason and the Argonauts. But I guess they aren’t really mighty, they were more “weedy” and greedy. Maybe a small dragon, but not one of those ones like in “how to train your dragon” as they were just silly. More like one of Denerys’ children going through its difficult adolescent years, moody and vicious and liable to play with its food. Like if Smaug had a jealous younger sibling, who was pissed off as rather than speaking with the smooth tones of Benedict Cumberbatch, he sounded like Jo Pasquale after a whisky and two packs of Embassy. I need to sleep now. Wibble.
Although I also think your council tax should have a vehicle size and number element to it too, so if you have 3 large cars for example, you pay a lot more than your neighbour with a Fiat 500 who cycles to work.
That could be a crushing defeat for him.
Well, adding a border to the front lawn has served to convert it into a large cat toilet. 🙀
😂😂😂 seems reasonable
I put some shelves up to hold my burgeoning cuttings and seedling collection. My office/coding shed is now also part greenhouse 😀🪴

I’m doing some testing with some Hike Maker changes and this randomly generated 5 mile route is nicely symmetrical 🤔

I like espresso as well, but my usual at the moment is an oat latte. Which reminds me it was my birthday recently and I still have a free Starbucks drink and a Costa cake to collect 😬

Strawberries, cherries, blackcurrants, banana, mango and apple juice. Should do the trick. Will have a coffee chaser then should be ready for the day ahead

I was going to work on my apps today, but instead I went out and planted about 100 bulbs in the front lawn which took a while

The Codex code review is impressive - through the web, it continued to call out an issue on a Bills to Budget PR that I couldn't replicate, and couldn't quite follow. None of my tests failed, and none of my manual testing exposed it.

Still, it was persistent enough that I wanted to dig further… 🧵

Fancy a walk🚶‍♂️but don’t know where? 🧭 Hike Maker can generate a random circular route at the distance or steps 🥾 you choose that starts and finishes where you are 📍
