So, it's Tuesday which means Ridley gets The Long Walk while Jennie visits parents

Today he decided it's about time we went to the nature reserve

But why can't I chase the ducks Mat?

I have watched five episodes of Poker Face now that it's finally in the UK

They are all excellent, incredibly well cast and Lyonne is obviously enjoying the role

Only drawback is the Virgin On Demand service running the same ads every adbreak, one of which is an ad for a cool new show called, um, Poker Face…

Acheivement! Not mine, The Kid's*

He's installed and is teaching himself how to use Linux, which is cool. I said to him when he started "I look forward to the first time you get trapped in Vim" and didn't explain further

Tonight he just opened his door as I was going back upstairs and just said "Vim" with a happy tone

He got there, and he succesfully got out. Will he repeat it next time? Who know's, it's Vim...

*I really ought to find a better shortform anonym, he'll be 20 next month FFS

Content warning:So, the UK emergency alert test

Was in the park with the dog, had just crossed a bridge and was walking thru the gap between the playpark and skate park

About a hundred people nearby, at least 50 phones all at once, very eery weird noise distributed all around.

Several people looked around seeing if they could locate the source, didn't see a single person get their phone out

While it undoubtedly worked as intended, not sure I'd rely on it for an urgent evacuation order or similar

Content warning:So, today we went to see the Knife Angel—knife based statue

it is, without doubt, one of the strangest public art projects I've seen, and I doubt it can in any way be helpful for it's supposed objective but…

it's very cool, and an impressive work. also quite large

it's on tour, if you get the chance it's worth a trip

Last night Jennie wasn't well so I took Ridley

He tried to take me to see grandma, but it was a bit late so instead he took me down towards the canal

Then detoured to the pub. I used to think the "dog dragged me to the pub" trope was a shit excuse until Mr knows where he wants to go started doing it to me

After much petting he wanted to leave. Got to the door, but—the horror—it's raining. He doesn't like the rain

Literally dragged me back in

Forced to have a second pint

What's not obvious in the pictures is just how steep the slope we're sat on is, we're just below the highest point in town and the view all around is spectacular, from the top you can see over the hill we live on into the valley behind. But my phone camera isn't up to the challenge…

But just look at his stubborn happy face. We're not going to move for another ten minutes, he's Settled

So, today Ridley decided we were going up thru the woods to the hilltop field. He's loved the place since we first went and he met friendly dogs but I think he just genuinely likes it, it was empty and he just sat in the sun

So, @miss_s_b has baked some nice bread overnight, thought given the news I'd have some cheese and turnip slices

Weird how a good mix of spice and lots of acid can make even foul brassica nice

Turnips:key ingredient in both pickle and pasty for a long long time…

So, they're auctioning off props from Everything Everywhere All At Once

Money going to some pretty good charities. If you've got several $K spare, you could buy yourselves a desk trophy that looks like a but plug ;-)
