Vein
Last U15's badminton match of the season. It's only been 5 weekends this year but it always feels like so much more!
Bubble tea
Charlotte and Tabitha are obsessed with Too Good to Go. I suppose there's worse things to be obsessed with.
Drove past A Fence field just now, and there's a tractor taking it away.

A Fence
It's not an actively-held opinion or anything, but I've always felt like still life photography is a bit of a cop-out. Your subject just sits there, patiently, you point your camera, take your picture, and that's it.
Rain
First phone photo in ages, but my bag was in the boot with my camera in it 🤦♂️
Snowdrop
I'm sure I say this every year but it can't be true every year. It feels early for snowdrops. I love snowdrops.
Three's Company
Walked the dog to the seafront this morning and was treated to these delightfully lairy seagulls on the cliff face.

Sven sent me a video this morning. Coincidentally it's a video that YouTube has wanted me to watch for a while now but, for whatever reason, I have avoided it. I was half right to be avoiding it. I'm tired of hearing about AI being forced into things.
There's an interesting ...
Walk to the wall
Charlotte's parents took the dog for a walk so we went for an extremely rare dog-less walk. It was nice.
Separate
I need to find a way to be more varied with drone photos. All mine always look the same. The camera on the mini 3 is pretty poor as well.
Blacksmithing
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.
