The stupid fucking iOS/Skeets photo rotation issue has struck again, where some photos are rotated when posted, despite looking the correct way around in my Photos app, until I make an edit and save it, then it’s apparently OK.
Here it is corrected. Me with two friends and their one-eyed dog Peggy.

Coffee in bed and #SaturdayKitchen on catch-up.
Had a great night out with mates, drinking fine ales (much of it about 7% ABV, so the end of the evening was a bit of a blur.
Two pubs: Old Road Tavern and the PoW Micropub (my local).

Now it’s time for this incendiary red Thai chicken curry. It’s too hot because I fenced to use up the rest of the red curry paste after the correct amount had already been added.

Earlier today I made another infamous “six sausage sandwich”. It was delicious and had just the right amount of brown* sauce. The tomatoes obviate the need for any other sauce.

Had a good day yesterday: big (post wine) lie-in, coffee in bed, visit to mum, then superb curry takeaway at home with my mate Ed, before we walked into town to our two favourite pubs. Got home about 1am.
Woke up this morning with Stanley (who’d slept curled up with me) wanting snuggles. #take2

In my ‘local’, after a very successful evening of badminton. I only lost one game of the five.
Superb ales and great chats with friends and a couple of neighbours.
Hazy Plan is a great hazy IPA.

I stayed in Woking (lots of reasonable hotel and pre-party restaurant options), and had Korean food before the party and then this morning, a superb fry-up at a greasy spoon.

I'm home from my annual trip back to Surrey, for a mate's birthday party. There's a theme each year. This year was "Somethone/thing beginning with the first letter of your name". Rather than go as an M&M I went as Eminem. My buddy was "John McClane" from Die Hard.

Since my trusty #iPhone 15 Pro Max has decided it can no longer hold a USB-C cable in its port (I tried clearing it out of any pocket lint etc, before you ask), I’ve switched up to the new 17 Pro Max.
I stuck with the blue because the orange version is “a bit much”. Data transfer now complete.

Hey. Sorry for the radio silence. Life got in the way.
It's getting in the way right now too, because I'm packing up one of my keyboards (and associated cables, amp etc.) and heading out for band practice.
See you in about five hours.

I’m up half an hour early today in order to drop Stanley off at the vet’s for the day, to undergo a ‘procedure’.
Wish him luck, Stan fans.

Stanley and I have walked to our local to meet friends for the usual Tuesday beers, only to find they’ve gone home ill.
We’ll survive as they have Deya’s Stesdy Rollong Strata on tap.
I’ve also msged back-up drinking buddies.

Nipped over to Melksham to get dinner stuff, and took the boy with me. After I was done at the ‘trose, messaged my niece who lives near by to ask for a decent off-leash walk option. She came up trumps.
We walked four miles, Stanley was delighted. #Wiltshire

He’s so adorable when he’s snuggling in his bed. The bed is in my office and he likes hanging out with me as long as I keep the noise down.

I finish work for the day and open the door to my home office to find Stanley waiting outside for me. He is on a mission.
His mission is to have a big cuddle with me, which he often wants to do at the end of the work day.
Me: Why do you smell of fried eggs?
Stanley: <licks lips>
Me: also, HOW?
