I am an equal opportunities employer.

Also I figured it wouldn't hurt to reduce the population of incels by one.

We put it on to listen to so she could hear the shape of it - I probably haven't listened to it a good fifteen years or so myself.

...and oh my god what a lot of memories and feelings came flooding back.

How's your virigin sacrifice shaping up?

Mine's still a bit on the skinny side but I reckon I can get another ten or eleven kilos onto him before the big day.

Gotta give us every chance of success at ensuring the sun returns on the 22nd 🥰

And they should know exactly what moomin tastes like 👨🏻‍🍳👌💋

Someone once described fresh mozzarella balls as being moomin meat and now every time I see a picture of one all I can think about is burrata and homemade pizza.

That latter bit still feels icky to say out loud, but I'm getting better at it.

(I still maintain that almost anyone could make nearly anything I make, though)
November 27, 2025 at 4:34 PM
Joking aside, one of the things that making things like this has given me is lots of opportunity to accept things as they are and to not hold them against an impossible standard that only my mind's eye can see.

Likewise with being able to acknowledge that there's skill and artistry to what I make.

Yeah he's probably eight months old or so and we know that he lived with another household before being given up to the rescue charity, so I think you're right and he's not quite fully separated from mum.

Tomorrow Never Dies: "gotchu"
November 27, 2025 at 4:00 PM
He really is!

(When he gets super relaxed and comfortable (like when he's just had his tea and then comes for a cuddle) he twirls around chasing the tip of his tail and once he's caught it, he sucks on the end of it with an intensity that is borderline creepy)

If I was in therapy my therapist would probably say my inability to gracefully accept positive feedback is something I should keep working on, so to keep my non-existent therapist happy I'm going to just say "thanks, Box" and not make a whole thing about it wait what do you mean I've just done that
November 27, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Thanks Box.

It's spalted beech, harvested from a windblown tree on one of my wife's reserves, and it was a commission from her to make a leaving present for a friend/colleague who was leaving her team.

Nature did the hard work to make it pretty, I just dried & shaped it 🥰

Can't see it - did you end up with?

(Not to be too cloak and dagger, but it's my one email address that isn't yet riddled with spam so trying to avoid it getting scraped lol)

Right video at the right time... I was doing a very cerebral job and a huge amount of driving, and really wanted to be doing something practical with my hands.

Turns out sanding down antler, wood and steel was what I was missing 🥰

I have a few things I always make in a batch and do a couple of extras of, and the goal is over time to build up a little stock.

I particularly enjoy little firelighting kits - a flint and steel in a leather pouch along with a bundle of thistledown or similar as tinder. They do well at markets!
