Lady at the local chippie saved me a couple of the new 10p coins. When my friend first sent me an article on them a few weeks ago, my first words were 'Are they calling Charles a cock?' 😄😄 (It's a grouse, jury's out on whether its a cock or hen though).

Just changed the headlight bulb on @tonyfishlock.bsky.social's car. Surprised how smoothly it went. In fact it worries me how easy it was. Probably done something unknown which will now render the damn thing fit for scrap 😖😬😄

Thought I'd finally grown out of bringing stones back from the beach, but after reading @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social's writing about hagstones ... well, here we go again 😄

Finally finished my #Atari2600 #Pitfall #CrossStitch. Glow in the dark #scorpion for added realism 😄 #RetroGaming

A belated #Caturday post. This is Judgemental Seagull launching himself from the fence ... not because Spencer the cat was about to say hi, but because @tonyfishlock.bsky.social opened the back door and startled him. I was trying to see just how close he was going to let Spencer get before moving 😄

RIP Bill Oddie. Legend.

The #AA are fucking amazing. We broke down at 8pm. They *might* recover us just gone 1am. If we're luckly. Apparently the big truck they sent to confirm we're fucked can't make it from Croydon to Brighton.

Picked up a box of 'stuff' off Arsebook yesterday, this #Xbox360 was in there, face down. Just dug it out to try, expecting the RRoD, but not only does it work, it appears to be a special edition. CD tray is borked, so @tonyfishlock.bsky.social will check it out and see if its the belt.

#FUNFACT.. The King is in town today. I wonder if he'll pop into Reeves for a #SausagesPie? But would that be cannibalism? 🙃 #SausagesFingers

I bought a 'new' #calculator at the bootsale today. It's been like an episode of The Repair Shop this afternoon as @tonyfishlock.bsky.social has had to partially strip it to work out why it didn't quite work and then how to fix it. It's quite a bit of kit ... #Muldivo #MechanicalCalculator

I've trained my child well ... he went to the local job centre today, and found this in a charity shop on the way 😱😊 #UraniumGlass

@tonyfishlock.bsky.social has been polishing his vintage parabolic heater. Apparently, it is meant to take your eyebrows off first 🤷‍♀️

In today's edition of #GrotOrRot I'm pleased to say this laptop cooling pad was 100% grot, as it's working fine now. TBH I couldn't really complain if it wasn't working, as I picked it up for free at the car boot sale this morning.

Beautiful evening for fish n chips and Morris Minors at #Newhaven West Beach. Shame its flying ant day ... #MorrisMinor #MorrisTraveller #classiccar

Finally finished the 'Fishlips' #CrossStitch for my friend. Looking at this abomination, there's a good chance she'll never speak to me again 😄

Today I might have been playing with fire. 😁 #TinkersPark #SteamRally I fount this 1960's heater #BialaddinBowlFire some of the photos are @annierat1.bsky.social how cool 😎

My model for this year's Meccano show. He drives around waving his carry handle and cord reel at people and just generally being a cheeky fella.

Had to buy this 😄 Obviously I can't even get past the second screen, but @tonyfishlock.bsky.social has done slightly better and made it to the 5th 🏆

@tonyfishlock.bsky.social has taken me birthday shopping to a niche little boutique in Canterbury. The boutique in question:

Found the perfect work mug today ... yes, I coordinate training workshops 😄

Having a play with the #CrossStitch programme I bought a couple of weeks ago for 50p. Designed this #Atari2600 #Phoenix piece. Made with bootsale cloth and floss. Hasn't come out too bad, especially under UV light 💡 Glow in the dark thread is an absolute bastard to work with though 😫 #CrapCrafting

They came with this little bowl, which doesn't glow under my 395 light (the first picture), but does faintly under what I assume is a 365 light. Manganese glass maybe?

Look at it go at night!

Same friend, same conversation ...

For a Monday morning, I'd take that as a win ...

Here's the [what I think is] the lead glass next to a bog standard green glass bowl for comparison. @tonyfishlock.bsky.social and I have had great fun tonight pissing about with different bits of glass and lights! This is what happens when you get old kids! 😄

There's nothing like working your nuts off all day, whilst your co-worker behaves like this 🙄 #SpencerAndDennis 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday #BlackCat
