An occasional series of what my Garmin watch is saying after my #HeartBypass.
Started wearing it again about 2 weeks after the op. The watch is basically going “Dude! WTF?”
I need more rest and seem permanently stressed? Ya think? My resting heart rate is higher. Really?

Here's something childish to start your week.
If you'd like one of these to hand in the loo, I can draw one for you.

I once tweeted this "Aha! GOTCHA! Just spotted Wally in one of the crowd scenes in Émile Zola's ‘Germinal'.", which led to people spotting a series of appearances of Wally in various books. Wonderfully, author Matt Blakstad was on the final draft of a book, which he amended to include Wally.

„Do you wear that mask all the time“, i was aggressively asked at security.
„Why yes, I don’t want to disrespect the fine work of my heart surgeon by succumbing to a disease preventable by wearing a mask that is spread by selfish canoots huffing virus in public“ I wisely only said to myself.

Sorry that @jonnelledge.bsky.social had to facilitate this but I did find it funny to read that there is a person who thinks joking about Tory defections to Reform on the very small liberal microblogging site Bluesky is not allowed because that's what feeds Reform

This is the first month I haven’t dipped into my own money to pay our freelancer fees and my GOD it feels good. It’s not quite breaking even - yet - but in a few months we should be there. Thank you all so fucking much.

Every year we treat ourselves to a new decoration or two for the Christmas tree and this year’s additions are just absolutely outstanding
Tempted to not add anything else as we basically have a muppet Christmas tree

I am consistently amazed the Building Safety Regulator isn’t a much bigger story. It’s brought house building in London to a total halt, but it’s also brought cladding remedy works to a halt, too. Which is costing leaseholders FORTUNES, halting sales, and leaving people living in unsafe buildings.
... at the Building Safety Regulator - which has lead to 9 month delays at this stage alone:

Nine month wait to get building safety sign-off for new builds, regulator admits
When new regulations were introduced 18 months, planned target was to get decisions made with 12 weeks

#MeadHallSprouts update.
Cook has reduced the sprouts to a simmer and chiseled the crust off the cauldron.
The sous serfs will now draw lots, to determine who among will test the seasoning.
The looser will taste the ‘broth’ and advise on the seasoning when they regain consciousness.
