My garden, cats, snails, cars, pens, labellers & Atari 2600. Rehomer of crap brown Casio calculators. Some other old consoles & computers thrown in too. Please don't follow me if you don't like swearing,ย cos I do! #Atari2600 #retrogaming #cat #calculator
Bloody hell, must have spent too much time looking at that post, now I'm getting more dirty #Crocs๐ suggested. Never worn outside indeed, cos looking at the state of these, they go barefoot outside and then put them on. Is there a market for skanky Crocs?? Maybe I should sell some of mine? ๐ค
๐โโฌ Annette ๐โโฌ@annierat1.bsky.social ยท last wk.My standards are lower than a snakes belly, but come on, even I would have chucked a flash wipe at these. Good condition indeed. Passable at best. I guess she's aiming them at a certain market ... except they're a kid's size, which makes it even more ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ ๐๐ #FacebookMarketplace
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?' ๐๐ (It's a grouse, jury's out on whether its a cock or hen though).

Well, I think I win weirdest Teams message of the day, eh?
So, today, I have mostly been here, riding on this:
The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didnโt say anything, because that would have been rude.
Just finished my latest #Atari2600 #crossstitch. This one was mainly just a bunch of lines, so didn't take too long at all ... #CrapCrafting #RetroGaming #RobotTank #Activision
Finally got round to plugging this track ball into the #PanasonicToughbook. Works like a dream. Have ordered a USB converter (cos the 6 million I stole from work a few years ago have all vanished) so he can try it with his laptop.
๐โโฌ Annette ๐โโฌ@annierat1.bsky.social ยท 2mo agoThe child came home with this track ball the other week. Apparently, it's from one of the decommissioned #LondonUnderground systems. At some point, I shall be plugging it in to the Toughbook. #RetroComputing
I mean, I guess I must know that baby scallops exist, but I was honestly not prepared...
ใงใใ@k-hermit.com ยท last yr.Tiny, colorful baby scallops โ a total cuteness overload in one dish! You might think, โThis person posts the same creature every year!โ But honestly, seeing the same life return year after year is something truly wonderful๐๐ซงโช
1996: can't use the internet without your phone 2010: the internet stretches before you like the vast expanse of a new frontier. You dance through it, unhindered. Unburdened. You have never heard of 2-factor authentication. 2026: can't use the internet without your phone
Halved and peeled a butternut squash and it looks like Iโve de-beaked Donald Duck
Just realised these two buildings on the right look like they've got heatsinks on top! Guess the architect foresaw this summer ...?!
My mate is fucking amazing. She went to Canada on holiday and asked me if there was anything I'd like her to pick up ๐ #Atari2600 #RetroGaming
Errr ... might want to revise that statement just a little โ๏ธ
This morning's clouds were ... interesting โ๏ธโ๏ธ
Was just looking for another #Atari2600 cover as my consoles seem to be breeding again ๐ณ I acquired this old blue one for about ยฃ18 a couple of years ago so looked for a matching one. Just found one on Ebay. Jesus H Christ ๐ฑ I think I'll cover the cover and let the console take its chances ...
The village gave the scarecrows their annual day out. Mr Lumpy, Chinwag & Little Billy were all allowed to shout at nobody in particular in the big city. They had a wonderful time! When they got back home they were put back in the fields with a glass of milk & some warm turnip.๐จโ๐พ
Ha ha, this popped up today, so true... www.facebook.com/share/r/1P5r...
๐โโฌ Annette ๐โโฌ@annierat1.bsky.social ยท last mo.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 ๐๐ฌ๐
In case anyone was curious as to what was in the parcels...
