  • porridge for breakfast
  • a friend has decided to put off visiting, meaning I can relax again
  • going through old paperwork to throw out, I found a write up I'd done of the time I toured with a band (as a friend / supporter) in Holland. Saving that to see if I can adapt or share it again

  • I spent most of the day sleeping and was fine with that. Apart from a stuffy nose and fatigue, I feel more relaxed today.

  • phone calls from a friend with updates on how their roof repairs were going

  • a short lie in before breakfast
    🍳
  • lots of food in the house after yesterday's grocery delivery - a ready meal for lunch
    🍛
  • shared a hopeful dream (from 2 days ago) in a phone call with a friend.
    My dream: I'm visiting friends on a Carribbean island. In the evening, I'm amazed by the millions of stars visible in the sky. A deep puddle was easy to get out of as I knew I was dreaming.
    Seems like a hopeful vision for the future.

Are you on here, Suzuki Carry owner in #pittsburgh?

If I didn't have spouse and kid with me I would've waited so I could compliment you on your awesome truck (and ask you things, let's be honest)

you probably wouldn't have been long, with the toolbox in the back and all

Morning!

I hope you have an amazing day too

It's sunny but chilly in my area. Got up early to eat breakfast and then made myself a nice mug of tea.
That's an awesome start for me.

  • ate well - breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks

  • sat outside, in the sunshine between rain and hail showers, with a mug of tea and fitted in a short walk around the block

  • made my first outdoor sketch of the year and shared it, easing my way back into making art again

Picard: They’re called the “Borg”.

Ensign: The Borg? It sounds Swedish.

Picard: They’re a race of cybernetic beings.

Ensign: Artificial Swedeners?

@srfirehorseart@ohai.social avatar

@dgar

Since Borg means Castle in Swedish, it's possible that the ship was designed by cyber Swedes.

No current listings in IKEA to confirm my theory, but give it time...

If you’re waiting for emails from me, my 4G and 5G internet is down at the moment. I’ve had to drive to a park to get a signal!

FWIW, Three U.K. used to be good 😩

Wow, that sounds stressful.
I hope it's fixed by the time you get back.

Yesterday's good things

    🦋
  • after doing the bins, I had leftover lentil daal with bread for an easy lunch

What's a 'Ko-fi ambassador' about?

Sounds good.

What could ko-fi do to make the platform better for creators?

  • washed, dressed, ate a good breakfast & lunch
  • a neighbour or two has tidied away the other bins the dustmen left lying in my garden
  • some time outside in the sunshine to drink some tea, top up a bird feeder & go for a short walk. It's chilly out but close to average temps for this time of year, according to my weather app.

36 hashtags, "Available for sale here!" but no alt text. 🙄

@DemocracySpot

All this accessibility tech and too few people using it.
:blobcateyeroll:

I support everyone who adds alt text by opting to avoid boosting images without it. Or I add Alt4you tags.

I’ll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically “inactive”. Months often pass between updates

It means that every post published was important to the writer

Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with “It’s been a while since I last wrote to you” were the ones people cherished the most

You don’t need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters

srfirehorseart,
@srfirehorseart@ohai.social avatar

@baldur

In that case, you'll love my art blog. Last updated Dec 2023 with a summary of the year for art in the UK and what little I'd done..

My next post was going to talk about burnout, but then I had another drama. Life happens!
