The important stuff: Oxford (UK), cats, tortoise, plants, drawing, silliness (was @muckypup on Twitter)

My feet in a bucket of cold water.

A photo of me combined with a tool that tells you what specific colours are called. My skin tone is apparently 'simple beige'.

The candle wax has melted enough to make contact with the table! Happy days!
The previous melting candle. There is a LOT of extra melted wax build up on the side of the candle, but not much progress has been made to connect with the table.
A leaning candle on a restaurant table. The wax is dripping off the side and is about 3/4 of the way to connecting with the table.
The same but of ceiling but with patches over the holes. It still looks very unappealing at this stage.
A photo on my living room ceiling with a large area of plaster scraped off. There are now 4 small but distinct holes in the ceiling.
A picture of my partner's smiling face looking up from downstairs as viewed through a jagged hole in the bathroom floor.
A screenshot of a congratulations screen from LinkedIn puzzles. There's a name badge that says Hello my name is Genius. Under that it says Smarter than 99% of Debs.
A screenshot of today's Wordle puzzle. I have successfully avoided finding ANY correct letters after 4 tries, but I have got one letter in the wrong place 4 times, thus leaving only one option remaining for that letter.
A cartoon drawing of a skinny green crochet hook in front of an large orange ball of yarn. The crochet hook has an evil laugh on his face and F.U. written on his stem. The ball of yarn looks menacing and is doing the yarn equivalent of sticking his middle finger up at us. There's a vague old fashioned mobster feel about the pair of them.
Two beaded bracelets on a wrist. Both made up of various coloured stone / wooden beads, one with a dangle charm.
A screenshot of a Facebook post from a few years back showing four tiny filled & labelled jars with screw lids and one open (full but unlabeled) glass on a small wooden table in a pub. The display is there to represent the elements that go into making the perfect beer. The four labelled jars are yeast, water, hops, and malts. The 'water' jar is full of small dry pale pink coloured chunks. No idea what they could be.

Two pieces of buttered toast with a poached egg on each one. The yolks are slightly off-centre so look like deranged eyes. A horrified face has been drawn over the top to complete the scene.
An eggshell with one end missing. Behind is an out of focus egg poaching cup with the majority of the egg oozing all over the stovetop.
A plate with two smoked kippers on. (Reference to one of his Red Dwarf characters' catchphrases.)
A collage of screenshots showing the subtitles on a news story about a man who was arrested for breaking into a Guernsey airfield wearing only a blue t-shirt. The text reads: In defence Payne told Judge Marc Davies the case should be thrown out as there was not sufficient signage on the north side of the airfield, but he did admit that entering the airfield with no underpants or trousers on was an error.
A child's hand-drawn birthday card. The bottom third is a flat blue gradient, symbolising the ocean. There is a large yellow semicircle above, with the number 70 written on, symbolising the sun. (Unclear if setting or rising, but I'm going with the pessimistic option.) Seven small v shapes adorn the sky representing birds in flight, and three blue clouds are dotted around the edge of the white sky.
A cartoon on a happy little rolled up crêpe with annotations showing the ONLY ACCEPTABLE accompaniments of sugar, lemon juice and raisins. The text at the top reads: Happy pancake day! (No substitutions. No arguments.)
Knobhead Cat (a black and white tuxedo cat) as a kitten. He had climbed up my body and was sitting on my shoulder, staring directly into my eyes. His whole body is about the same size as my head.
Knobhead Cat (a black and white tuxedo cat renowned for causing chaos) sitting next to the crotched blanket currently in the process of being assembled. He is making direct eye contact in a slightly menacing way. Hard not to suspect a mischievous plan is being hatched.
A close up of some multicoloured granny squares starting to get attached together to form a blanket.
A screenshot of an advert titled How to become an Interesting Person. The rest of the advert goes: I used to feel like the dullest person in the room. Everyone had something to say - except me. And then I found this app. Instead of wasting time scrolling, I started spending 15 min a day learning from the world's best books. Now I always have something smart to say and people actually listen. I recommend that everyone try microlearning with Headway.
A very unhealthy looking (detached) fiddle leaf fig leaf with a 'dead' cartoon face drawn on it.
A drawing of my new Fiddle Leaf Fig plant from Lidl, aka, Fidl Leaf Fig. Each of her 8 leaves has been named: Florence, Fernando, Fabian, Frankie, Felicity, Fred, Fathima, and Fergus.
A drawing of a sloppy shit with distinctive Trump-esque orange face and blond hair.
A drawing of a grumpy little shit.
A drawing of my new fiddle leaf fig plant, with notes. One note points to the top leaf which is suspiciously bright green. New or dying? The other note points to the very bottom leaf which is half-buried in the soil.
Knobhead cat (a black and white tuxedo cat) sleeping on a heated blanket with 4 crocheted granny squares laid out along his unconscious body.
A 'spurious correlation' chart (from tylervigen.com) showing an almost direct correlation between the popularity of the first name Deborah and the frequency of arson incidents in New York between 1985 and 2022.
Knobhead cat (a black and white tuxedo cat) locked in a cat carrier in an attempt to relocate him from the loft to the actual house... WHERE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
Knobhead cat (a black and white tuxedo cat) climbing up the top of the ladder into the loft. There is NO WAY he will be able to get down by himself.
A photo of the viewfinder on the back of a keyring camera. Knobhead cat (a black and white tuxedo cat) can be seen on the screen with a look on his face that says he's already so done with my shit. Little does he know I'm just getting going.
A yellow tube of UHU All Purpose Adhesive lying seductively across my computer keyboard. (Some arms, legs & a face have been drawn on.)
A crudely doctored image of a Jaws poster with a huge shark swimming up to bite a small boat with the words: WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT. The word boat is crossed out and the word 'pot' is written underneath. A very scary tree is drawn on top of the shark. It has teeth and everything.
A quite frankly visually obnoxious collection of tinsel, Christmas decorations and a glass jar of sweets on a table. A note on the jar indicating that I have won the tasty contents of the jar. There is also a stress relief penguin for some reason but he's not relevant.
A side-by-side shot of the Success Kid meme (toddler with a clenched fist full of sand and a determined but satisfied look on his face) with a small ginger cat with the same expression, gripping someone's arm.
Screenshot of a contact name on Teams: CLIENT Butt (External)
The final page of a personal evaluation questionnaire. There were three boxes available to write general feedback labelled 'Continue' 'Stop' and 'Start'. The 'Stop' box has been completed with the words "collaborate and listen".
A picture of the king of the traitors, Alan Carr, walking down a gloomy corridor in his Celeb Traitors robe holding an oil lamp, but his face has been replaced by a TP-Link WiFi extender.
A small green pea with arms and legs and a tiny red face looking very angry. The text reads: fur-pea-ous
A graphic to commemorate 2 years on Bluesky. The background looks like the Bluesky loading page (but coloured green instead of blue this year) with a large black butterfly in the centre. There's a number 2 cut out, showing the sky detail behind.
A drawing of a man in a shirt and tie, large ears, and spiky hair drawn in the condensation on a coffee shop window. There is a blurry couple (presumably the artists) sat at the table behind the drawing.
Newspaper headline. Oxford: Thug jailed after stabbing man at party with baby
An M&S squeezy container of caramel sauce combined with Marmite.
A pic of the Remembrance Sunday service being shown on BBC1. The subtitles declare that the person currently laying a wreath at the Cenotaph is "Lord McFall, Speaker of the sob lords." (Should have been the House of Lords.)
A slightly desaturated photo of a fireworks display in a field full of people.
A seriously shit photo of the moon and clouds taken through the back doors of my house. The garden is in total darkness, however there are two small red dots of light in the black areas of the photo. [insert dramatic music here]
A semi-transparent green bag hung on the hedge by my house, harbouring a rather large sloppy poo. For context, there is both a dog poo bin and a regular bin approximately 10 steps away. I will now spend the remainder of the day thinking vengeful thoughts about the 'decorator'.
Vegetarian version of the prawn cocktail starter my dad made me for my mum's birthday dinner. A bed of salad leaves, a drizzle of thousand island dressing followed by a layer of sliced kiwifruit, topped with a sizable dollop of baked beans.
News alert pop up on my phone from the BBC. It reads: Breaking News: Dame Sarah Mullally to become first wo-man archbishop of Canterbury in Church of England history
Large handwritten letters that say "DON'T BE A TWAT"
A small almost entirely black fluffy kitten with large blue eyes and an eerily human looking mouth.
A pop-up error from Excel saying "Excel can't do this because a dialog box is open. Please close the dialog box to continue."
A full bucket of soil with a sad face drawn in the dirt.
A slug clinging on to an entirely bare stalk, having eaten all the leaves. There's an arrow pointing to it with the words 'slimy wanker' added.
