Out of office on, trousers off, beer in hand.

Time for a four day weekend!

Dropped off my car for its service and MOT.

The garage manager told me that he’d not seen his MOT guy for three days and he wasn’t answering his phone…

I’ve not built an old-style Chimera or a Leman Russ at all during the 11 years I’ve lived in my current house, yet this appeared today on my hobby desk.

Maybe if I put it somewhere it’ll grow into an entire vehicle?

Just off the phone with my mum.

Our conversation turned to politics, and she said the following:

“I hate him, and his politics. But… he’s really, *really* attractive, and all my friends think so too!”

Farage. She was talking about Nigel fucking Farage.

Spent the afternoon playing Wolfenstein: The New Order, because, for some reason I really wanted to violently butcher some Nazis…

Speaking as a 20+ year veteran of the Civil Service who has worked with more Ministers and Cabinet Secretaries than I care to remember, I would love to work with someone as collaborative, insigntful and decisive as Mayor Lenny.

Ok, hear me out.

A remake of the Saw series, but Deputy Director of the Pawnee Park and Recreation Department Leslie Knope is Jigsaw.

Just another normal conversation between my wife and I…

Need to decide which project to do next.

Woke up today to an inoperable combi-boiler.

By 14:00 Scottish Gas had sent an engineer to us who replaced a couple of burnt out components and everything’s nice and toasty!

Halloween!
November 1, 2025 at 8:08 PM
So, my wife is thinking about dressing as Elvira for Halloween.

I think my cock may explode.

Call me a conspiracy theorist all you like, but I don’t think Canks is building a ballroom at the White House.

I think it’s going to be a top of the line medical facility to keep him alive without the need to go to Walter Reed whenever he has another stroke or similar.

Small but mighty gathering 😀

All welcome. Unless you’re a Trump supporter, then you can fuck off!

It’s amazing how much better I’m painting after I finally embraced my progressing decrepitude and got these reading glasses!

This has been the first weekend (Friday - Sunday) where I’ve not had a single alcoholic drink in I don’t know how long.

Feels good.

(Even though my anxiety is redlining like a mofo…)

Praying that the committee gives this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Who’s a cute lil weapons platform? You are!

This chap has been sitting undercoated on my desk for two years. So glad I finally finished him.

Just in from tying the trees down in the front gardent with bungees. Hope they hold.

Some days I’m actually halfway decent at my job.

Managed to trim down an official Ministerial response from 178 words to 94 without losing any of the substantive reply.
