My wife's latest engineering marvel. She "built" this last night, it survived... but now I'm afraid to get anywhere near it to make my morning coffee for fear of disrupting it...

When I was 12, in 1986, I kept a very short and basic diary, but since 1990, I’ve maintained a consistent record of my life. Having such a complete record isn’t always a good thing, but I’m still glad to have them. They may not interest anyone but me, but they’re a way to record things that might otherwise be forgotten or misremembered.
I switched from writing to typing my journals in late 2000. In the past, I experimented with dictating them to speech recognition software, but the results were slow and disappointing. Many years ago I did type up some of the smaller shorter journals but it was even more tedious. Until recently, I never thought I’d have the patience to convert all my handwritten journals to digital text. Thanks to ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini transcribing hundreds of photos of the pages over the last week, I now have a pretty accurate digital version of everything I wrote. I’ve also printed and bound copies of everything in a legible, consistent format. Each different journal has a photo of my face from that year on the cover.
The journals don’t really serve any practical purpose beyond satisfying the occasional curiosity about what I was doing “x” number of years ago. I sometimes wonder if the person tasked with clearing out my house after I’m gone will even glance at them, or if they’ll all end up in a skip. Honestly, that’s probably for the best.

I was breaking down cardboard boxes before putting the recycling out and found these templates for little figurines of a dog and a reindeer inside of a box that had contained a set of floor mats for my truck. As someone who is easily distracted by side quests, I was equally excited and disappointed that the recycling wasn't going out for a bit. No banana as the compost had already gone out.
US 10.5, knows that it's technically corrugated fiberboard
Edit: Included a finished picture of the well-fed reindeer. Also, thank you all for the warm and wonderful conversation!
Another Edit: Including a picture of the finished doggo and the disassembled deer. The kids have been playing with them and the deer has started shedding its antlers.

It’s just water.
Just clear liquid.
But why does this gallon of water look like the best water ever.
No banana for scale. I don’t wear shoes.

Spotted in my local Tesco car park, a definite member of the group!

While attending a blues festival in Kent last weekend I observed what is, without doubt, the most potentially catastrophic toilet seat defect I have ever seen.
As pressure was placed on the seat the crack would open and upon standing it would snap shut. Luckily I recognised the danger and protected the relevant items as I mounted and dismounted.
Male, 51, banana was kept well away for safety

McLetters UPDATE!
As we discovered together, there wasn't just one bit of signage at the White Rose Centre missing letter "counters", there were two.
So, I took to the internet, looked extensively and unnecessarily into the McD's branding guidelines, determined that there was either lens distortion in the site photo, or the signage graphic wasn't scaled properly. Then I went into 3D modelling application Fusion 360 to model the counters. I sliced them in an application called Cura. I then 3D printed them, but not in just one part. There are two parts per letter that shell together to conceal screws. The face panels are glued on. But even if the face is removed, the base maintains the same footprint of the missing counter.
I did a test print and made some minor adjustments, then reprinted with white PLA filament. Then made a trip to the shopping centre again. This time it was very busy so instead of looking very suspicious, I had a security guard with me.
Aaaand....

Having run out of toilet paper several times over the last few months I decided to store the house supply somewhere visible. I have found myself buying more and more so I can come up with interesting designs. I was particularly satisfied with this effort, but nobody else was, so thought I'd share my dullness here. Enjoy.

Ferrari V8 attached to a fuel tank, back of seat area, and two wheels.
I told the non dull man "that is some crazy stuff"
He said that this area was the best to test it . True, there is the flattest street within 5 miles just a few feet away.
I'm 65 and much too dull for such a machine. I heard him take off.

My daddy, a Dull Man, made this for me. He has a massive workshop filled with tools and bits and bobs. He even knows how to find most of it. It is Known in the family that he probably has anything one might need in this mundane Garage of Requirement. (Have not ruled out the possibility that he is actually a wizard, but if so he has hidden it well)
My own dull hobby is making baby blankets. The latest project involves a couple of hundred granny squares. I’m trying to use leftovers in my stash, so they aren’t all the same weight. Consequently, blocking is really important, to make the stitches match up for joining. Yes, I am experimenting with different sized hooks, but still. You can use styrofoam or a piece of wood; I saw a design like this on the interwebs.
The conversation started, as so many do, with “Dad, do you have…” and proceeded with “Of course I have…!” He had a nice piece of wood squirreled away from a commemorative plaque he didn’t care to keep. While I took my mom to a dinner and a show, he puttered around with t-squares and rulers and the drill press and had it done by the time I got back. It works a treat.
F, almost 50 but never too old for hero worship. And sad I didn’t get to try the drill press.
** edit: I’m blown away by the response to this post. Thank you for the many stories about sweet dull daddies. In a world that can seem quite callous, there are still so many decent dull folks just being kind. I shared some of the comments with Dad and he said “Aww, that is so gratifying!” Not a big texter. I am thankful to have both my parents still in my life and I treasure the time I spend with them.
** 2nd edit: my husband says now I’m an influencer. I kind of hate myself, but I also kind of want to start a podcast and negotiate a product placement deal.

I used my bus pass for the first time. Here's an idiot's guide for those of you approaching OAP status who wish to gad about for free, but haven't used a bus in a long while:
1. Wait for the correct bus. In this case the X4A to Saltburn-by-Sea.
2. Do not flash your card (like the idiot in the picture) to the driver as though he was a Russian border guard. These days you just slap it face down in the digital pad thingy
3. Ensure you grip the poles provided before take-off. Do not, like I did, stroll nonchalantly to you seat, only to break into an involuntary sprint under the sudden acceleration.
4. Come back before 11pm weekdays or you'll have to pay an exorbitant £3.00

I live in New Zealand. The vast majority of the population here lives on 2 islands. One island is above the other, therefore, their English names are the North Island and the South Island. These are the second dullest pair of names I can possibly think of, behind Island A and Island B. If you know of any other dull island names, please, bore me with them.
Yesterday I was looking at a map of my country, and noticed something I had never before noticed. My gaze focused on on the localities of Wellington and Picton. These localities on the two main islands are connected by a ferry called the interislander. To travel from the North Island to the South Island you must get on the ferry on Wellington and disembark in Picton. I had noticed that Picton astonishingly lies slightly north of Wellington despite it being in the South Island.
The obvious next step was to confirm and quantify the difference. I extracted the coordinates of the 2 ports from Google maps and converted these to the local planar coordinate system, NZTM 2000. With the converted coordinates I deduced that the port in Picton in fact lies 1112m of the port in Wellington. This means that the interislander voyage from the North Island to the South Island travel over 1km net north.
