Windsee Crepuscular Chitty-Chitty Chat Chat

I hope everyone's day has been truly scrumptuous.

Good Morning!

My days of the week are all forked up. I kept thinking it was Tuesday on Monday and now I have had two Tuesdays in a row...grrr. I found this page of coffee quotes while I was looking for an image for the post. Note the David Lynch quote on there.

Chewsday Eeevening

Tell me about it.

Had I not known

I was already dead,

I might have mourned my own passing.

Hello, BackTalk. It’s morning again.

What’s going on with you today?

Monday Night Open Thread 🌘

How did the day go? Polly says, "SOON..."

Did some yard stuff and got stung by a wasp and then drenched in a sudden downpour. It's almost like the yard doesn't want picking up. Lesson learned.

We kick off each week discussing a different theme. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about each other and how our opinions differ.

Hello and welcome to the next to the next to the last day of August, and also Monday.

Bunday evening has arrived

It's been a busy weekend, since some local streets are closed for a festival with traffic diverted down my little side street. Not a big deal, but reminded me why I dislike living on a main street.

Enjoying a relaxed summer evening. Flop!

The Photo Gallery

It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

Go nothin'

Heading back to bed for a bit.

A Little Scat N Jazz NeoSoul to Go With Yr (Non-Corporate) Debt Relief and Security Clearance – Saturday Night OT

Weird moment at work. Teenager wants a first class stamp. I offer him Bumblebee or Shatterstar because we have currently have Transformers stamps. He looks baffled. I go with Bumblebee which is easier to tear off the sheet. Stamp in hand, he looks even more confused. His mum is nearby snickering. "You lick it."

"One" - Harry Nilsson (1968)

If you sit down with this old clown, I'll take that frown and break it. Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it. And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Friday Evening Post

Good evening.

Are you having a good tea party?

Fur Face Friday

It's the dog days of summer, which is just perfect for a Fur Face Friday. Of course, it was also the cat, bunny, and wildlife days in last week's comments too!

How could I not Select this Snout?

Blaurgh!Talk

So what has the petty mistaken world inflicted on us this week, eh? Duly complain here.

From the folks at Displate.com it’s the Krackitten!

Happy Wednesday!

How are things in your part of the world? What exciting thing have you eaten lately that gave you a little joy? Something you cooked or ate at a restaurant or even got from the convenience store. Tell us all about it!

Time to get up and face the world for another Tuesday.

DAERHT NEPO THGIN YADNOM 🌘 summoning the powers of darkness through RAWK

Halloween is only 10 weeks away. Let's make it spooky, and get spookier the closer we get. Listen to your backmasked LPs and summon the Dark Ones.

A crappy doodle from 2020 according to some google app that tries to save everything you ever spew out unless you disable that function, which I have now done. Mostly I drew it as an exercise to acclimate to new art supplies, and also to try and find a quicker, simpler style than I typically use. There was a story behind the drawing which I no longer remember, but it didn't test well with the audience (older & younger daughter) so I discarded the idea and drawing. Thank The Googs for this drunken stumble around the Cul-de-Sac of Failure.

Welcome to the weekly discussion post. Let’s hear everyone’s take on this week’s subject.

Good morning and welcome to another week in the world. I dunno about you, but I've just not been up for it.

Bunday evening!

Nothing in my day has gone quite as planned, but everything's worked out pretty well anyway.

How are you all?

Rainday Morning OT

It's going to be a couple of wet days.

I guess this will be a Project Sunday, and as a silver lining I can put off doing yardwork for another couple days. What are you up to?

So We Want To Know If Anyone Went to A Fun Free Festival – Saturday Night OT

Peter Davison, former Doctor Who and David Tennant's father-in-law, is due to play another Doctor in Bloods, Sky's dementedly daffy and delightful ambulance comedy. Samsung Kayo and Jane Horrocks lead an ensemble cast. If you haven't seen it, track the show down.
