I made two eclipse traps. Now to set them around the garden and capture an eclipse for dinner.

I keep thinking about the strange caveat on the weird ai video screens at the Derwent Pencil Museum. It's so obviously not true, animation does exist, they had animation cells from The Snowman (1982) on display in the museum. Lads, you make and sell PENCILS.

Sainsbury’s substituted my usual blackcurrant cordial for a Mandalorian and Grogu branded special edition one, so now my morning drink looks like I’m about to chug the T-1000. Modern life is rubbish.
Every time I feel tired, I remind myself that Mel Brooks is 100 years old and is playing two characters in the upcoming Spaceballs sequel.
