Dan and I did a blacksmithing course with Thomas Gontar, and it was a lot of fun. Even the blisters and dead arms.

Opportunity
Sometimes, my only opportunity to take a photo outside is when I'm walking the dog. That's extremely limiting.
Handsome boy
But don't let that fool you; he's evil really.
Late snack
I was sitting on the sofa last night and my stomach was grumbling so much that Charlotte told me to go and get something to eat.
New sofa day!
We got a new sofa. I love it.
Rough
Sometimes it occurs to me that I haven't seen the sea for a while, and then I pin all hopes of raising my mood on looking at water.
Some light
I got nothing for today. Had a headache all day, had an idea for how to visualise that, failed and just shot any old thing.
Sunday
I've been freezing, and in a disgusting mood since I woke up this morning. Not a great combo.
Under the bridge
Tabitha had a badminton match in Chelmsford again today, so I was back at the nature reserve for a while.
Nose
Of course, one way to look at this is that it's two cat pictures within three days, and that's valid.
Back at it
I haven't been to the gym since last year, and it shows.
Some days
Some days are pointlessly difficult.

This got shared on Mastodon, I think, but I don't know by whom. It got my mind all in knots about creativity and my opinions on AI, so I tried to write some of it down. I think I got most of it out!
The problem with LLMs democratising creativity is they're essentially creati...
Bye bye Christmas tree
Every year, I chop the Christmas tree up, put it in the car, get in the car and think "this smells lovely; I wish it could always smell like this".
A little snow
We had a very Sussex volume of snow overnight. Tabitha insists that we're all but guaranteed more over the next few days.
Ride
Went out on my bike for the first time in ages. My stamina is absolutely awful, but I had a nice time. Aside from the cold toes.

It is necessary to balance your survivor-like. It's not enough to just make a thing that sends waves of enemies, invent/borrow a load of weapons and stat boosts, then call it a day; these things need to be balanced.
I have been enjoying a YouTube channel for a while now, cal...
Ocarina
Typical. I didn't bring my bag into town with me, then the moon was rising up over the hill just as we arrived home.
Unrelax
The relaxing-ness of this break is currently moving in the wrong direction.
Writing materials
Slow day today after being out for the last couple. Watched some movies with Tabitha for new years and we're all pretty tired today.
December Recap
December has been a tricky month. I got ill right at the start, I got some new vinyl, and it was our work Christmas meal. I mostly spent the month looking forward to our annual shutdown, but being constantly thwarted by my todo list inexplicably getting longer instead of sho...
Cold
Second day in Portsmouth. I bought my clothes for the next year, and we nearly froze.
Gunwharf
Second day of mooching around shopping centres. I'm over this now thanks. Give me my sofa back.
Slide
We went to meet up with some friends and wander around Westfield today. It was very busy.
Pipistrello
I didn't want this to be today's picture, but the day got away from me. Was kinda pleasant actually.
Missed a bit
Tabitha went to hang out with an old friend from badminton today. We went for a walk by their house.
Pizza Day
It's been ages since I've done pizza; I've been discouraged by how inconsistent dough is.
Game Boy
Dan very thoughtfully got me the LEGO Game Boy for Christmas. It looks so good on my desk.
On beautiful light
Not really feeling the pictures today, which is typical as we had some lovely light.
Ice cream
We drove to Hastings for ice cream. Yes it's far, but this is my favourite ice cream place.
