The BBC News live feed about the death of Rob and Michele Reiner is on black. Quite unusual for someone other than royalty.
Screenshot of a BBC News Live feed with updates about the death of Rob Reiner and his wife. The page background is black, as is the menu. There is a summary box on the left and an updating feed to the right. The latest two updates cover the fact that Nick Reiner has been arrested, and their daughter found the bodies.

Looks like the Esk made it into the park last night judging by the 'leaf lines'. I walked the girls in the dark this morning so stayed away from the waters edge. Glad I did now, as Miah loves to poop down tufts near the edge. 💩 I really wish she wouldn't.. maybe she has a thing for bum tickles.

The Esk is frisky tonight. Even the ducks are staying out of the river.

Finished the house exterior yesterday. Unless they increase the amount of decor we can place, I'm maxxed out. It took a hellish amount of boulders to disguise the fact that Horrible Horde Hut™️doesn't have a base. My main is an engineer, so expect many contraptions. #WoWHousing #Warcraft
Screenshot of a floating house in the Horde neighbourhood. The exterior has been modfied with blouders, trees and contraptions. Screenshot looking up to the house from the ground. There is an animating 'gnome grabber' upside down which swings in a horizontal arc. There are reclamation rig models in three places giving it the mechagon aesthetic. Screenshot of my chill out porch aboe the front door. Goblin decor items: deckchair, umbrella, table and some books. Screenshot of a view frm above my floating home. I added a helipad using a rug model for the base and three white pillars to bury the "H" in the middle. You can land on it and walk to the front door.

Yeah... not sure I like the look of this.

Gramps is sundowning again. Except it's probably not him anyway. Does anyone believe he can type that much hot air on a phone with his pudgy wee fingers?

Alt text truncated by 805 because .. character limit.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Trump. Text is as follows: No paragraph breaks because there aren't any. There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked …

Big tidy up this morning. Took all the red root floaters out so I had a clear run at trimming the ludwigia and sessiflora. Cleaned all the acrylic plant corrals, vacced the gravel and topped up. The surface is spotty as I just fed the fish before putting the floaters back in.

Limpets though.. GAH
Photo of a community fish tank. There are Daisy Blue Medaka, Gold White Cloud Mountain Minnows and Otocinclus Catfish. And quite a lot of neocaridina shrimp. Many, many shrimp.

Got all excited about crafting the Goblin Brightly Lit Comfortable Sofa. Aaaand yeh. Did they even test this thing? at 58% of full size my ass hits the back and I disappear into it like a renegade hamster. #WoWHousing
World of Warcraft screenshot showing an improbably placed sitting point on a crafted sofa. The character is clipping right into the sofa, her legs are inside the sofa and her back i spoking through the back. Her trusty hunter's pet Shaun the Sheep is clipping into the next sofa, althuogh he looks perfectly ok with that.

I know a lot of people are moaning, but I think they've done a pretty decent job of the housing in #WoW . Now I just need to try and keep the sheep off the furniture....

Still got oodles to do, but pleased with the way it's going. 😊

Photo of two whippets taking up an entire chesterfield sofa. They are covered with a big soft dressing gown and a sherpa blanket hoodie. Both of them are also wearing fleeces. They are, I suspect, very warm.

Cormorant down on the Esk earlier. I feel sorry for the fish, those things are absolute machines when it comes to catching their food.

Sorry for the crap photo. Phone. 🤷‍♀️

Christened the sketchbook! I'm going to try and do not-shit sketches as no chance of pulling sheets from this thing if anything doesn't work. I've been grabbing stills from video of the girls playing with a view to making lino prints. Tbh the two I've tried so far are terrible. Practice practice...
Photo of a sketch of two whippets playing. There are mother and daughter in real life and mum has a tendency to be the more dominant of the two. However that may well change as she ages.

It was my birthday this Thursday just gone and @ninjabeaveruncut.bsky.social got me this lovely hand-made leather bound sketchbook. He gets me. ❤️

I would've been 2 years shy of retirement age if they hadn't moved the goal posts. Now at 58 I'm going to have to wait 9 years. *sigh.
Leather bound sketchbook, it's a dark tan buffalo hide cover with the pages stitched in with leather. The closure is a thin leather strap that wraps around the cover. It's sitting on my reclaimed wood and steel desk. There is a bottle of ink, an eraser, a small torch and a red light therapy torch behind it. Also in view is my desktop shrimp tank.

After wrestling with my Derwent Inktense pencils on something, I decided to do a swatch book of all the colours. being a tightwad I looked up how to bind a booklet and made one out of rag paper using a sewing technique. I am rather pleased with it.
Open pages of a swatch book made out of rag paper. The colours are earthy browns and greens. Open pages of a swatch book made out of rag paper. The colours are reds, pinks and purples.

She's unhinged. Also, adding the image again so I can alt text it. Why is it the big accounts just don't bother? If you were reading it online all you had to do was copy and paste instead of leaving it to mugs like me to do it. It took me about 3 seconds to do once logged in (+ I hate going there)
Screenshot from Candace Owens account on X. Text is as follows: Our show will be off air this week. As an update, both the White House and our counterterrorism agencies have confirmed receipt of what I reported publicly: Emmanuel Macron attempted to organize my assassination, per a source close to the first couple. Also, I will again state that the French legionnaires were involved in Charlie Kirk’s assassination but they did not act alone. For all of you who doubted my claims, you can now look to the President of the United States and our intelligence communities to issue a statement to confirm whether I am telling the truth.

Please stop calling adult dogs "puppers". It infantilises them. A dog is not a pup, puppy or pupper after 12 months.

Doggo is fine though.

#ThrowbackThursday Nova & Ury in 2020. Mobbing their Mumma Miah and then sleeping peacefully together. #whippets #DogsOfBluesky
Photo of a fawn and white whippet bitch playing with her two pups. She is sandwiched between two dog beds while they climb over her. Photo of two 6 week old whippet pups sleeping peacefully together. One is fawn and white and the other is fawn with a black mask. They are on top of two pawprint blankets and a piece of vetbed. The container is a well chewed cardboard box inside a whelping pen, with the cardboard around the sides protecting them from getting their heads stuck in the bars.

Thanks! UNS are great tanks. I got a 20c for my desk as a shrimp tank before deciding on the bigger one later. I'm battling hair algae in the upstairs shrimp tank, which is now overrun with ramshorns. That was my fault. I breed them for the pond and should have kept them separate. Otos are fab ....
Photo of my desktop shrimp tank. It's a bit messy but the shrimp don't care. Plants are red root floaters, a single dwarf water lettuce, an echinodorus reni, monte carlo (what's left of it, the shrimp keep uprooting it, creeping jenny, java moss and one I can't remember. There is also a catappa leaf on the substrate. The wooden bamboo skewer by the tank is what I use for squishing limpets.

How it started --- How it's going.

The community tank has been going just over a year now. Had a few ups and downs, apparently java ferns hate me. Creeping jenny makes a brilliant stem plant. Ludwigia palustris has given me that much yearned for red plant without needing CO₂. 1/3
Photo of a 20g UNS 60 long aquarium. The tank was cycling when this photo was taken (the process of getting beneficial bacteria to make it safe to add fish and shrimp). There are stones, a piece of driftwood, dark gravel and a few plants. The filter is small as it's only for cycling. Photo of the same fish tank 1 year later. The background plants have filled in well, there is a piece of spider wood and carpeting plants. The fish are happy and the shrimp are doing what shrimp do. Eating and keeping it clean.

I do the girls snacks at 8:30pm every night. It's been a ritual for years. Sometimes they actually bother to stand up.
