'Incident now resolved'. Yeah, right.
I'm just some small fry web dev trying to scrape a living, goodness knows how bad this is for the big guns. Cloudflare deserve a kicking.

#NowPlaying Grey Day by Madness www.last.fm/user/Guerril...
In the morning I awake
My arms my legs my body aches
The sky outside is wet and grey
So begins another weary day
...
In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace
In the morning I awake
My arms my legs my body aches
The sky outside is wet and grey
So begins another weary day
...
In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace

Big fan of crows. And kookaburras.
![Photo of my notepad - HELLO CROW. I SEE YOU, CROW. CORVIDS WILL ONE DAY RULE THE WORLD.
[Bad sketch of a crow] THIS LOOKED A BIT LIKE A CROW UNTIL I STARTED MESSING WITH IT...
NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A KOOKABURRA.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ebdwgektkj2pjup6yflu4x5i/bafkreiea37dt2ix77rcit5qr6cioynlkgtteee7wdjzvtesgsexi6s52qe@jpeg)

Just three more days of this horrible gunky weather before winter finally arrives and freshens everything up. (I will welcome the new ice age... the AMOC and all that.)
