New ThinkPad X1 Carbon 9th Gen just arrived at chez popey. Just in time to start $NEWJOB on Monday. Beautiful 😍

Neighbours cat, Boobears, keeps coming into our house and scoffing Triggers food. I can't get mad, he's *so* *floofy*! 😍
A lovely, bright evening in which to visit my favourite temporary portacabin in a car park, and exercise my democratic right to vote. 🗳️🎉
Kresta Leonard has probably my favourite, and most wholesome cooking channel. Here's her amazing peach chicken, which I plan to try sometime soon!

New toy arrived today. My first #riscv computer. A BeagleV pre-release beta board, based on the StarFive JH7100. Exciting times!
~13 mins until NASA / SpaceX Launchy Launchington. https://youtu.be/WeIVJyufJrE
New (to me) toy. My Xbox 360 controller is on the fritz, so thought I'd pick one of these Stadia ones up, second hand. Maybe it will improve my game 😂
Saw this in a charity shop. I had no idea these kinds of books (sorry, not a book) existed. It contains what looks like a ton of stills from the film overlayed with captions and speech bubbles. I probably would have loved this as a kid.
Got some time off coming up. Think I might do an audit / clean up / repair of my ThinkPad collection. These are two of my favourite models. But they're all awesome.
