What I’d like is a Dutch barge. And I’d take it from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, to Ostend, then occasionally across the Channel ...
In the years that follow civilisation’s collapse I’d like to pootle about on this barge like a Legend of Zelda merchant.

I went in 2010. I remember a life size forearm and fist sex toy in a shop window. I still have nightmares over it. You try, you buy. |

I hope to arrive as the mist rises from the canals, while a solitary accordian player rasps and wheezes on a street corner. He isn't playing, he's just lit his first spliff of the day... |

I went to Amsterdam in the 90s. We had to smoke all the dope in an all-nighter in the campsite toilets as we were heading for the ferry the next morning. It was extremely glamorous. Thankfully the sea was calm the next day.
I'm not sure I've done anything interesting since the 90s.

I once made up a big batch of marmalade, with delicious Seville oranges, of course. I left it bubbling away nicely on the stove for an hour or so, and when I returned I found that all five of my pet gerbils had escaped their cage, and attracted by the sweet smell had fallen into the marmalade and died. Disgusted, and more than a little upset, I put the whole awful mess on to the compost heap in the garden. A few days later, the compost heap had bloomed with the most beautiful daffodils. Who'd have thought it, daffodils from gerbil marmalade!

Maybe Titchmarsh given the gardening angle. Very moving. |

I'm sure there must be some sort of terrible pun involved , but I can't work it out Something along the lines of Hans the judicious can be soft as Gervais, with mild green hairy lip squid. |

Either that or it's probably a quote from a Pet Shop Boys or R.E.M. b-Side.

This blew my mind... Lovecraftian Concrete Reliefs Generated in Midjourney Image from NoeticSystem's imgur gallery"What is MidJourney? MidJourney is a new AI-powered tool that can turn any imagination into artwork from text. You might have seen some messed-up AI-generated arts in the past. However, the resulting arts from MidJourney will definitely WOW you – they’re not only unique but some of them are really breathtaking. " Description from vivipic |

An unlikely story. Gerbils evolve into gerberas. Stop getting Pokémon wrong.

20 - Back to Death Row... My bouncy presence belies my vastly debilitated state after yesterdays treatment. Started chores at 5 a.m.; hoping to start the tortuous process of getting my big rig into a usable state - which means adjusting the beast to what I want...
However, I have a deal of phoning to do to try and find out what the fucking NHS is doing and to rectify their cock-ups. A to do list of 7 items.

I wanted to download Chumbles’s Mindjourney app in order to conjure up rich imagery from text. It asked me to go on Discord though, so instead I downloaded some other text to image apps.
What a time to be alive!
The image from Babyfark’s fisting toy text was a bit unsettling. A black and white picture of a naked man, fused into a shop window.
