    Yeah, managed to work with the weather for once… pressure washing the green slime off the patio when it was raining, starting to paint the shed when it was dry… some small(ish) jobs and the garden just looks fresh again.

    Found some old 8mm film… might take that to the photo shop in town to both help him keep the shop open and get the unknown films onto VHS DVD USB

      It’s been fine, the week has been pretty uneventful really. It was my dad’s birthday yesterday so we went out for a meal which was also a kind of joint father’s day do, and then it’s been father’s day today which has just been a normal day!

        Excellent mate. I went out as well, there’s a place in town that has those autonomous wheeled bot things that guide you to your table, and bring your food to you and stuff. My boy wanted to see them for ages so off we went.

        Only downer this week is my Pokémon Blue save died when it crashed while saving. Ten hours down the drain, that was my project for this summer.

        Did you get sorted for new running hooves after?

          Oh that’s cool, how was it? I assume they still have actual people available to help out if the robots fuck up?

          Not yet no, although I’ve managed to book a physio appointment for this Friday, so hopefully I can get some good advice!

            Yeah they do, and when it gets busy with folk razzing about between tables, the staff do the serving and the bots just take the dirty plates and empties back to the kitchen.

            The meal was… decent, not great, but certainly not poor - but I guess you went for the presentation, the bots, the cocktails presented in steaming bell jars, and kids meals presented on a shovel. It was comparatively inexpensive too which gives it a thumbs up.

            Good luck with the physio though. You’ll be out banging miles back into the tarmac before you know it.

    Somehow work has felt like a heavy slog over the past few weeks. It’s not just me as several people at work have said the same.

    Our dogs on the other hand provide a welcome balance. Saturday was grooming day, which do ourselves. It took us four hours for the two dogs to give them haircut and another hour today to tidy up the bits we obviously missed.

    I’m pretty broken, not sure I can do two consecutive day fests with a club night between them these days… But I wouldn’t give it up for anything. Enjoying moments with a crowd all vibing to a song, experience, or just in the midst of the moment. It’s cheesy but it’s why I’ll never stop loving live music. Right now, think I need a late afternoon nap to prep for next week!
