The good news is that plenty of times have seen troubles as has the world today. The bad news is it may last for some time yet
Fuck aye, 7 string represent! Mostly use mine for palm muted riffs, but love the contrast
Ooh, hot honey carrots. I’ve some carrots that need used up, what a great idea! And I used to always be about the peppercorn, but these days for a filet/rib-eye: I let the steak do the talking. Rump still gets the peppercorn though, might have to go for that this week
How about a poem? Take something you work with, and write some lines about it. Or sone sketching? I’m a terrible artist in general, but practice helps. Or some musical instruments? Singing and playing guitar is always fun
Just the replay. Bit late for me 11pm launches. The interview quality has been amazing so far, that LOS on the far side of the moon is going to be tense
Been for a swim, watching some Artemis coverage next with my homemade curry, braw stuff! Have to say, I’m excited to see them go round the moon, I’m such a nerd.
Crazy weather this weekend so I’m gonna have a lazy day tomorrow, play some pool with mates in the evening. I’m pants though, will need to watch some youtube for some tips. Then Sunday lots of wholesome family easter activities, eggs and such like with a roast leg of lamb fer dinner, yum

City buses are all hybrid here in Edinburgh, surely now the time is right to switch properly

Scotland @lemmy.world•Bronze Age shield found in Beith peat bog to go on display
1·12 days agoAll valid perspectives, but as a resident of Edinburgh: we don’t need as many tourists as we do see and I would rather see a city for locals first. And talking with people from Barcelona, Amsterdam, Venice: there is a lot of sympathy for charging toursists more

1·12 days agoWith the amount of tourism in the world, I suspect anyone not living within 100 miles of a museum should be paying
And I won’t condemn any museum on artifacts, pretty much every museum is a history of colonialism around the world and are it turn history themselves now in many cases. After all, they are only old objects, and they tell a story; no matter where they live and who owns them: that story does not change

Well done to you and your pal for attempting, takes a lot to get back behind the wheel after a knock
Not even a week, 4 working days now. Got any flight/ferry/train plans for April? A week in Caithness for me

Table top in person things. I haven’t been in 20 years, but I bet it hasn’t changed much! Dice, pencils, sausage party, and an unmistakable festival odour
