Here you'll mostly find cars/motor racing. Sportscars>Single seaters. UAN crew!

Third-gen Jag bloke, own 3 broken ones. Shush, there's history there.

L322 on a budget.

Probably the odd photo of my cat, because he was awesome.

Slept from 10pm til almost 2am. The sleeping does seem to be improving a bit now, which is nice.

I'm sure it'll get worse again before it gets better, so I'll just enjoy the slight improvement for now and take whatever's coming with a brave face 🤷‍♂️

Next up on the seemingly never ending list of medical appointments, tomorrow I have a pre-op form-filling session and yet another round of blood samples.

I reckon the NHS has more of my blood than I do at this point... 🤔🤣

I sometimes wonder what the treatments/procedures/drugs I've had on the NHS, since this started at the end of October, would've cost in America. And then I don't want to know because it would be *astronomical* and I'd probably have had to sell my house.

Thank fuck for the #NHS ❤️

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Bright side is, respiratory doc basically said they don't think the lung stuff is cancerous, but given my age and current other health twattery, they want to double check and make sure. Apparently if I was 94 not 44 they wouldn't be worrying about it.

So I guess that's sorta reassuring 🤷‍♂️😂

MOAR appointments coming up then. Endo bronchoscopy a week today, breathing capacity test the following Monday, results from both on 5th of January

Less an opinion than a fact if you ask me!
Lego sets should not have stickers. All parts should be printed.

Still, at least I have Lego, video games, and drawing to occupy my mind.

Why yes, I do still enjoy largely the same stuff I did when I was a kid.

It matches my sense of humour 😁😂

(Ordinarily I'd have other, more adult, activities to keep me distracted too, I hasten to add! 😂)

This week is gonna be a tough one. 4 appointments on 4 different days from Monday to Friday.

Kicking off tomorrow with an appointment at the respiratory department... and I don't know exactly what it's for as they never actually rang me or sent a letter, just a text confirming an appointment 🤷‍♂️

Just by being here, you matter.

Even on the quiet days, even when you doubt it, you are enough.

Sending you the warmest Christmas hug 🤍
No wrapping needed, no cost at all, just comfort, kindness, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
One size fits everyone, lasts as long as you need it, and can be passed on whenever you spot someone who needs it too.

Got the rest of the Batmobile, the Jesko, and a little bit of the Jeep sorted out this aft.

Donations in the form of Akro-Mils 64, 44, or 24 drawer cabinets are enthusiastically accepted, because I'm a bit skint now and this is getting outta hand 🤣
December 14, 2025 at 4:06 PM
These 3 were dirt cheap - £35 all in. I used that phrase intentionally. Got some bits of the Jeep apart then realised how dusty it was...

So it was time for a couple of rounds of #Lego soup!

They were so bad that you couldn't see the plughole through the water by the end 😬

Still - cheap bricks 😂

I am the least organised person on the planet.

Not only am I sorting my Lego out by part, I just ordered a label maker.

Who even am I?! 😱😂
December 13, 2025 at 11:21 PM
Thinking up ideas for my big Lego build already and I'm still absolutely sodding miles away from even having the parts organised 😂

I need more of those Akro-Mils cabinets!

Got ideas for making bits of it moveable/operational but I'm not that good with the mechanical side of Technic 🤷‍♂️

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet.

Forever.

Got 5.5 sets to dismantle and sort before I even get to the massive job-lot I lucked into, and I already need to reorganise my organisation 🤦‍♂️😂

Microsoft should have two versions of the desktop operating systems. One with all the AI bullshit that the hard of thinking can froth themselves blind over, and another which is just bare-bones that lets the rest of us run all the applications we need without constant annoyances.
