Warm weather, cold dinner - I've been #baking a cheese and mushroom quiche, some sausage rolls, and some herb and tomato tofu rolls. Will serve it tonight with salad, coleslaw, and boiled eggs. Will do some gardening when I have more energy, but tired now.

I got bored of making sandwich bread, and made something a bit more freehand instead. Not my regular recipe, so we'll see how it goes. #bread #baking

Does anyone in here have any experience of electric cargo trikes? I'm looking at https://amcargobikes.co.uk/product/deluxe/ - does anyone have experience of this machine or have any comments or recommendations in general? It will be for transporting me and the small humans on short runs to and from school, and doing shopping/errands in town. Boosts appreciated for the breadth of advice.

My daughter asked for plane toast for breakfast. I'm doing my best, but it's not an easy material to work with.

@nprofile…xt5t I'm in a dilemma, since I do get sales referred from Facebook, Instagram posts and Threads, but I feel now that I need to shut down those accounts. I'm genuinely worried about the loss of business, but I also worry about the effect of being associated with those brands in the future.

Lots of kitchen jobs today. Next up is dinner for small humans. Meanwhile the presses are warming up the shed for when the small people are in bed.

I'm ditching my Gmail account - what's a good mail app these days? I've looked at the search engines but everything is covered in ai rot and phishing. Thunderbird?

Everyone take heed - the postage situation at this time of year can be unpredictable. I will pack and post parcels on the same day, but I cannot control the parcel once it enters the postal system. I suppose what I'm saying is: order early for Christmas and good luck - I can't guarantee delivery but will do my absolute best to get things to you as quickly as possible. The longer you leave it the less chance you have of an early delivery.

@nprofile…pmzk a2: I work on many to avoid dead-time waiting for glue to dry or resin to set. I load projects onto cutting boards or into roasting tins to keep them together when I move them. #makersHour

Fun with lasers: if you lay down multiple layers of different coloured enamel paint onto a surface, you can run a CO2 laser at different power levels (or make multiple passes at a low level) to burn through just one or two layers at a time and get different colours in a design.

One thing they don't tell you is that our capacity for empathy increases as we age. Rage burns inside us for the injustices of the world, but love makes cowards of us all so that we reach for a shield instead of a sword. We look away and bear the shame of our own inaction to protect those we love the most. So they can live another day in peace and not have to sacrifice their own ideals or make an impossible compromise.
And your knees hurt and your eyesight sucks. But mostly the first thing.

The small human no longer goes to nursery. She wanted to make drawings of the staff and put them onto mugs as a goodbye present.

It's a beautiful day to stare into the distance, paralysed by the knowledge that your mental fortitude is all but expended, whilst a flood-tide of obligations, expectations and societal contracts that need to be honoured laps unceasing against the rubble of past victories and failures.
Nothing a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich won't fix, eh? Nothing a CUP OF TEA AND A FUCKING BACON SANDWICH WON'T FUCKING WELL FIX, THOUGH, EH? EEHHHHH? IS IT, THOUGH? EH?
Sorry. I've got a cold.

If your door doesn't have a sign like this, do you even science, bro?!
