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!

This Limited Edition "Dynamite" Chilli Marmite just jumped into my shopping basket! Looking forward to breakfast now!

@craigmaloney Yeah, pre-prod hardware, all subject to change.
New toy arrived today. My first #riscv computer. A BeagleV pre-release beta board, based on the StarFive JH7100. Exciting times!

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.
@tekmad Oooh! Maaaybe :D
@tekmad I do not. I have an R40, and a T60, but not an R60 :)
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.

@korruptor I wish I could find my old college folders with Z80 code printed out. Have a horrid feeling I binned it all :(
@gabmus "Interesting" stuff, huh. I would get ASCII furries.
