While making a salad last week, I cut open my last tomato that was sitting on top my microwave for a minimum of several days. At first I was horrified and thought they might have been worms till I noticed they weren’t moving and had bits of green on them, so I decided to take to google and found that this process is called “Vivipary”, in which seeds sprout inside the fruit, more of an explanation in the last pic. Curiosity got the best of me and I had to try it, it tasted like raw bean sprouts.

I pass under this service station link bridge at Sandbach twice a day.
Is there a more unloved, duller and sadder looking service bridge anywhere else on our motorway system?
( This photo is stock and a few years old , the bridge looks much worse now)

So this is my latest stack of firewood with the bark peeled off it. Apologies to the purists who are recoiling in horror. Yes, I know I should’ve meticulously scraped every bit of the inner bark too; and graded, sorted and indexed it according to size, thickness and relative aesthetic value, like I did with the outer bark. And yes, I should’ve cut off the protruding branch nubs, and sanded each piece with ever finer grades of sandpaper (not this new-fangled aluminium oxide nonsense; don’t get me started on that), alternating between sanding across and along the grain. But even the dullest of us only has 23 hours 56 minutes 4.091 seconds in a day, so compromises have to be made.
57, homeless, broke, no job, no income, no prospects, seeking woman for instant marriage. Must love bark peeling and be prepared to share a tent with a scruffy, traumatised mongrel with a ridiculous beard. And his dog. I’m prepared to build a tent extension for the right candidate. Please form an orderly queue ladies.*
*oops sorry, that was accidentally pasted from my plenty of fish profile but I don’t have time to delete it now. That bark won’t peel itself you know. 🤨

As a retired man with too much time on his hands, I often find myself wandering the neighborhood, Ove-like, noting things in peoples’ front yards that need correcting.
This morning… saw this emu sized creature across the road. And as I took a photo, motives the house owner approaching rapidly in his automobile. He has a (dubious) habit of turning into his driveway waaaay too quickly, so I held out my hand to stop him, then pointed to the mini-dinosaur he was about to collide with.
He wound down his window, looked the bird, looked at me, and said…. “Is that yours?”

Inspired by the spine tingling Halloween display in my local Co-Op, I thought I would try and ‘wobble some collys’ with some pumpkin carving. Try not to have nightmares.

Getting excited for this summer's forecasted Cicada brood event here in the American Midwest. Cicadas are a very interesting and ever present facet of the summers in this corner of the world. Cicadas are remarkably dull insects in that they will often just stay in one spot and stare into infinity. Pictured is one that landed in my backyard last year and stared at me in much the same way as I stared at it. For those interested in planning your vacation around this exciting event, I have attached a brood emergence map for your itinerary scheduling.

The purple Quality Street has changed shape. I got out the micro scales (used for yeast, honest) and weighed them both. 9.63g old weight, 8.40g new weight. A 12.77% decrease in weight.
Also had 1 rectangular orange cream amongst the round ones.
Shrinkflation and shape homogenisation.

It takes 3 days, 22 hours and 17 minutes for a 1/2” (imperial English old school) steel ball bearing to pass through a 7 year old’s digestive tract. It’s only slightly tarnished and has been returned safely to join the others in the set!

This bench must have been placed there for very dull men. I think it's fascinating. Rain was pouring down. There is absolutely nothing to see except the fence and the local passenger train twice an hour or so. Even trainspotting is very restricted, as the next stop is a terminus (Tweedbank, Scottish borders). But I had a wonderful train ride from Tweedbank to Edinburgh!

Coming back from a road trip today, the gps said I had approximately 55.459 songs of Toto’s “Africa”.

In the spirit of this group, I put Toto on for the last portion of my drive, and activated the ‘repeat’ setting. I listened to Africa 13.811 times until I arrived home.

This means Africa continuously played for 25% of the road trip today. That being said, it was a relatively dull travel day. However, pictured is a water tower we passed in South Carolina that may be too exciting for this group.

No banana for scale, for obvious reasons.
