    I bought 3 big sacks of dry cat food yesterday but since I can’t lift heavy objects they haven’t been put away.

    Bill and Ted have been guarding the sacks all night. 😺

    FF 7 Rebirth disc is in and installing/updating. PS5 ran out of space so I nuked a couple of my games for her. Should have a very impressed wife this evening.

      I’m hoping we can get the last game in the not too distant future to finish it off.

      Hope you have a lot of fun with it.

      I need to wait to get it because I’m picking up Unicorn Overlord next week

    I hate traffic. Spent way too much time waiting to get onto the Ring Road this morning, then way too much time waiting to get off it this afternoon. It’s been a long day in general with way too much driving for my tastes, so I’m glad to be home on the couch now.

    Driving my old gentleman client for shopping today. He’s a very pious old Greek man and prays before we set off and along the way - I notice we get a smooth run and good parks so I’m all for it!

    I know it’s not super popular these days, but the crypto space is back in its “exciting enough to keep people awake watching charts” phase. It has been quite a while since it was going as hard as it is at the moment and my modest portfolio is doing quite well.

    This means the market will likely die in the arse tomorrow or Friday because that’s just how it goes. I’d love to live in fantasy land where it just keeps going like it has been and I end up buying a house in cash but the world just isn’t good to me like that.

    This dinosaur water colour exercise is becoming a project of it’s own.

    I admit I love how it’s making me think of what colours I should use, for example, what colour was the sky in the Permian ( it was greenish) and how to use shading. What colours are the animals , what colour the plants and the dirt.

    I could also just make it all up and not go with realism!!

    I keep obsessing, thinking of going to the art shop and getting brushes and inks and paints but I can’t walk well yet.

      I get the impression that dinosaur colours (and sounds) are something we might never know. Could be dull rinho hide could be a full bird of paradise explosion. Just the feathers bit is pretty recent news.

        I’m doing reading on dino colours and paleos have found melanosomes in some fossil skin and feathers and can tell what colours and what patterns in markings.

        Archeopteryx is black like a raven!! Many dinos are brown or grey for camouflage.

        In some eras the sky was greenish and the sea was luminescent yellow.

    Slept well, got up to the alarm easy, not too hot for my run - doggo was good company - new PB. Felt pretty good

    Side note - if i was to compete against the 4 minute mile record holder, they would beat me by almost exactly 4 minutes.
