Nope, that's the sound of irate drivers leaning on their horns because people have lost their minds.

Oh, and I heard the first cicada of the summer this morning.

It's warm and overcast this morning, which is preferrable to the overheated mugginess of yesterday. The SO is trying to talk himself into mowing the lawns so I should probably get off my butt and do some housework but all I want to do is nothing at all.

Ours seems to be alternating as well. People either look offended that we won't drop everything to get their stuff done, or offended that we would think they were that demanding.

One week to go!

Awesome news!

Beautiful! Do they have much of a smell? I've never seen real pohutukawa, just the local bottlebrush.

It was much easier to drink than I expected and if it hadn't been so huge I probably would have putting them away.

Last night was my work do. I don't normally drink but had a few cocktails. This is a midori sour, which came in a glass so big it dwarfed the pints next to it.

The photo isn’t the best but

But that's the whole point of a snapshot challenge - sharing the moment without worrying about technical bits and pieces. I like this, it looks like they're deliberately posing for you.

Was it cold? Somehow your photo looks incredibly wet but not freezing.

I love this, I'd seriously consider buying this as a print.

I'll set some alerts up on my phone to remind me to check in more often. I miss the daily catch up even if I'm terrible at commenting myself. The old urge to lurk is hard to break.

Hi Dave! I've been all over the map the past month, sorry. Today is the first day I've logged into lemmy so your post is timely. Shall we do a Snapshot Saturday tomorrow?

I've been trying to cut back on my internetting so I've been spending time on non-computer hobbies, which always seems to happen around this time of year.

I used to average around 35 a year, them I got a Kobo subscription and churned through more than a hundred last year. This year I had to cancel Kobo and am sitting at 68 so far. It's mostly all fiction but I want to get into nonfiction next year as well.

Glad you're not doing too badly, hopefully it's a mild strain and things won't get too miserable!

So.... mission accomplished? It doesn't matter which bird won (so long as it wasn't a bloody bat!), John Oliver did the organisation and the birds a massive favour.

I've decided I'm going to fire that particular client. None of us get paid enough to deal with her.

I've also had a whiskey or three, which may have something to do with the decision.

Fourth Friday in a row where some disorganised person rings 15 minutes before closing to abuse me because we're not open on weekends. We've never been open on weekends and I'm not sure why this is such a surprise to people.

I like it, it feels kind of tense, like something is about to emerge into view.

Funny enough it just goes off when he deactivates it, I guess the birds are just really quick learners.

Okay, here's mine. I messed with a few different sliders and ended up with a grainier look than the original but I really like it.
