🐟 Heading to the Japanese market to pick up sashimi grade fish

👀 Researching restaurant options for an upcoming trip

🕹 Finished Immortals Fenyx Rising today. Interesting end story.

Midnight trash marauder (aka raccoon)

We’ve lived here 16 years and for the first time ever wildlife got into our large outdoor trashcan and made a bit of a mess. After seeing the footprints on top of the trashcan I had a pretty good idea but I took a look at the security cam which confirms it: a very large raccoon.

😉 All showered, trying to unwind after pushing the last of 7 out our front door

Our +7 house guests have all gone now. My wife and I did countless loads of laundry and some cleaning. A bit exhausted TBH. Hopefully this ensures a good night’s sleep 🥱

👀 Three of the house guests left for their flight at 3am. Couldn’t sleep after so I’m up at 4:30am 😔

😩 Anxiously waiting on a plumber to show up to fix our sewer drainage

Ugh, looks like the sewer line out of our house is clogged. This would happen with +5 house guests 😠. Waiting now for a rescue plumber.

👀 Just made an airport run tonight which decremented our house guest count by 2.

Thanks to the magic of a remote control DSLR we got some great 12 unit family photos just now. Perfect weather. Now for our seafood boil feast.

✨ The under 30 set of house guests launched a game of Pokemon Monopoly. 4 hours and counting…

✨ Replacing the battery in a Fossil watch which will passed on to a niece

✨ Sunday morning beer run because 12 people in house…

🤖 Watching a EPL ⚽️ game from yesterday, brain in a fog

Up early this morning and I can confirm having an extra 7 people living in our house is definitely “cozy”. Also quite chaotic because the younger ones are constantly going out: biking, skating, shopping, more shopping, and a late night at a PC gaming cafe.

🐧 Purple Penguin Status Time. Currently eating nommy fuds 😊

This morning’s sky made a good start to my exercise run

While moving mastodon servers today I decided to also sign up for omg.lol. Haven’t yet figured out the ‘status’ part Ron Guest at omg.lol

Since mastodon.technology is shutting down I am shifting to fosstodon.org, same name ‘ronguest’. I imported my relevant settings but so far the “move” operation won’t proceed - it complains there is no alias even though there is. Hopefully time will heal this wound.

✨ Test

We’re headed for a hectic weekend. My wife’s birthday is next week and 7 of her relatives are coming to help celebrate. We’ll have 12 people sleeping in our home so it’s going to be cozy! I suspect I’ll be ready to crash by the time the last one leaves.

I was pretty surprised to get an email from Sony telling me they were sending me an invitation to buy a PS5. Because they sent me an invitation over a year ago which is how we bought our PS5. 🤷‍♂️

🍫 Something about peanut butter and chocolate...? Halloween is just around the corner. Bring on the bags of mini Reese's.
