are we doing food discourse?

jam or clotted cream on first on a scone?

second discourse; how do you pronounce scone?

During the floods some dude was messing around in this little one-person boat, 'course, this being england he got a bit chilly

He had the brilliant idea of putting a little gas heater at the front to keep his feet warm

sadly, it was a plastic boat, heater melted the plastic and the little boat sank

Just goes to show, you can't have your kayak and heat it

@mavica hi robot! i want to hug robot

tag yourself I'm the goat

and in lower end of the market news, couple of woodland-y camo-y G-SHOCK caisoaks for those people who found their collab with the british army was a little tryhard

@alice@playvicious.social they're all named various beethoven-related things but beyond that I have no idea

ooooohhhh pretty

New Tetra colourways from Nomos

Somewhat tenuously an homage to Ludwig Van Beethoven according to them

Very pretty though

fun things to do: telling the work experience kid to go and grab some more frames for the network because you're running out

@mplouffe@scholar.social @dumpling@octodon.social got it as a "sorry we totally fucked up your order" gift from page and cooper IIRC

@mplouffe@scholar.social @dumpling@octodon.social the cheap ones seem to be breeding in my watch strap box, as are the spring bars

Have got one of those smaller, single sided tools with space for a second tip in a compartment in the back which has done really well though, usually end up using that one

the vengabus is still in my head from yesterday

I keep seeing the new star trek thingy being referred to as "st:picard" and thinking "wait, when did Jean-Luc get canonized?"

@mplouffe@scholar.social @dumpling@octodon.social the set I got the screwdrivers were adequate

the spring bar tool was the weakest part in mine but I'm sure for someone who doesn't have a habit of changing straps alongside the weather it'd be okay for a few uses

If you've got a couple of quartz watches, do yourself a favour and pick up one of these cheap watch tool kits

They cost about 15 bucks, watch batteries are a couple bucks a pack, it's super easy to replace them, and to get it done by a jeweller costs 10 bucks

Change two watch batteries and it's paid for itself

Also includes all the stuff for sizing bracelets and changing straps, well worth it
