Mr Vice President! Someone finally bought a packet of quince lozenges sir!

Have never seen this sample rate in the wild before. Wasn't even sure that my DAC would accept it!

Turns out yes, it does. Ok!

that damn duck has been on my mind for quite a while

I went back in with the hedge trimmer and some general insect spray - mission accomplished

Yep that'd be them

ITS GETTING WORSE TOO

Yeah it'll be fine haha. Still gotta finish trimming the hedges tho!

I've worked with more than a few people who carry this sort of demeanour

spiteful creatures

Bought a little hedge trimmer yesterday

First use, solitary wasp (unseen) nailed me right between the eyes

Second time I've ever been stung and now I'm looking like the goddamn Elephant Man

not even apes

absolutely FULL of olives and brine

CW: blasphemy (if anyone even has that tagged)

It was INSPIRED and JUST HAPPENED and probably somewhere deep a result of my Roman Catholic upbringing

Bingo is merciful (mostly)

I'll bring that Manson energy

you know your Bluey colouring-in is cursed (or just Powerful) when friendoes need to move it out from the room where they're going to sleep

Not tracking them as a brand but looked in briefly and they certainly seem at the right entry level price point where things will sound great and not immediately destroy records, Sound Burger style. Canuck brand is also a huge positive!

One critter's trash is another one's treasure!

Hiyo! Look, not even slightly knowledgeable, but I do enjoy just looking and when something speaks to me aesthetically I'll generally purchase it!

(pallet fork and mainspring have been sorted since that photo of the movement)

Also got a clock. Needs some work. Have already got it at least RUNNING, though far from accurately.

Especially happy with .. well, everything. Some nice crystal drinking glasses, some nice general pottery (I get hard for red/gold), a lovely Japanese bone china crockery set, uranium glass (heck yeah!), and hrmmmmm a bunch of gemstones that aren't in the photo

Good haul from today's local Antiques/Collectibles auction house!

Bought a wood lathe, made a bowl

Because like the old saying goes, anything is a bowl if you lathe enough

conspiracy to commit regicide

Onwards and upwards!

civic duty by way of service disruption

There's almost certainly a non-destructive interruptive method, I'd have to take a good look at the hardware and security mechanisms

Rapidly approaching the stage of life where I'm ready to actively 'disable' the screens and speakers that play ads at you while filling up the car at the petrol station
