For week/year 6 of my 52 years celebration: a picture of Dad, Gran, Neville, Mum, and me. Not sure when this was taken, sometime in the early 1970’s. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
Month: February 2021
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 11 is “machine”. I have a collection of old Macs in a corner of my office; antique PowerPC-based machines, including an early iBook, an original iMac, a G5 tower, a Mac mini, plus some ancient displays etc. 💻🖥📷 #mbfeb
A very happy birthday to my delightful wife @jidabug! 🎂🎈🎁❤️🎉😘 (This is a picture from around this time last year, a trip to Hood River, the last vacation of the Before Times.)
When it’s below freezing outside, and you’re cozy in the cat house on a heated mat, maybe you could be even toastier by laying across another cat? 🐈
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 10 is “energy”. Homemade pizza is a tasty source of energy. Margherita for me, puttanesca for @jidabug (larger portion for me, as she doesn’t eat leftover pizza). 🍕📷 #mbfeb
Today is a notable milestone for me: I have now been married for exactly half of my life. 9445 days between my birth and wedding date; 9445 days between our wedding date and today. (My birthday is in May, our anniversary in April, and now it’s February… funny how time works.)
We both woke up at around 03:30 this morning, and couldn’t get back to sleep, eventually giving up and getting up around 05:30. That used to be a normal time for us, but we’ve been more like 07:00 of late. Today is going to hurt. 😴💤
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 9 is “muddy”. Guess what happens when you add dirt and water together? Some muddy glop. But great for the base of the new duck island. 🏝🦆📷 #mbfeb
On the homestead blog: yesterday I posted about installing the new floating duck island. Today, some additional pictures of that process, as captured by the two cameras that watch the pond. 🔨🏝🦆
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 8 is “hope”. An easy one for me today: I hope that the new island continues to float, and the ducks use it. They were just swimming near it, so don’t seem too freaked out by it. 🏝🦆📷 #mbfeb
