Today didn’t go quite as planned. But… I found a new idle game to play (Upload Labs), I signed up for an account on tilde.town, there was a new Ren drop, and The Skinner Brothers announced a festival date later this year.

So not a bad day at all, really.

I’ve been tinkering! Managed to revive my neglected site with Eleventy and the help of an excellent template. ❤️

Feeling extra tired today, so think I’ll head to bed early and read for a little while.

This little monster will keep me company. She seems to like snuggling up beside me when I’m reading.

Tomorrow

🎶 I had a weird dream that featured the song “Tomorrow” by U2, so thought I’d write a little about it.

Finished Reading: The Wells of Hell

📚 Revisiting Graham Masterton’s “The Wells of Hell” got me out of a reading slump but revealed it to be less enjoyable and more cheesy than remembered.

Plans for 2026

Some meaningful changes I want to make in 2026. Namely reading, blogging and possibly photography related.

Another from the archive. It’s Caturday, so how could I not include one of my lovely Panda! Sadly no longer with us, but never forgotten.

Just testing the ios app. Then I’ll maybe see about setting up cross posting to Bluesky and / or Mastodon.

I need sleep though, so that’s a job for tomorrow.

Ok, it’s gone 2am now. I should probably stop exploring micro.blog and go to bed.
