For someone whose health is, according to his orange self, “perfect” there are a lot of deranged posts making it onto his failing SM platform today that indicate serious mental issues.
Excellent lightning storm in the past two hours that has resulted in the temperature dropping a full 10°.
Absolute bliss.
A little 64x32 #lego MOC: The city park.
A small stream, two conifers, a statue, flower beds, two little bridges, a newsstand, a relaxing area with deckchairs, a sturdy old maple tree at the centre and several powered lights to add some evening atmosphere.

What is wrong with the UK press?? One day of warm weather and we get images with descriptions like this one. “mini heatwave” ‽‽ Really??
Why do companies default to “light” mode when they update an app? My eyes don’t cope well with intense white backgrounds, which is why I set to “dark” mode.
Stop altering my settings when you update!
Wait! What’s this??
Mr Ó Briain won Eurovision‽ I never knew he could sing.

Woohoo. 🎉🎉
I can finally finish off my #Lego Green Grocer set with the correct pieces.
And I didn’t pay a penny to the rip of Bricklink merchants charging multiple £££ for individual pieces.
Loving the new elements now on Pick A Brick.
Currently spending the weekends slowly taking up the old decking in the garden with just a handsaw and a hammer.
They’re not joking when they say *hardwoods* are used for decking planks.
It’s really hard work!!
I love the announcement today from Lego about their updated age range on sets.
Brilliant publicity on Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday.
