Weather still good, it is likely to be the warmest day of the year so far (OK so it's still only 15C)

I now have a photo album of my Portmeirion visit.

Portmeirion - what a lovely place. The colors of the paint really make a difference. I keep thinking I'm going to get creative on my interior walls. I like those colors.

What is the story with that village? Is it just a touristy little artsy seaside village? One of the things about America - we don't have super old cobbled streets and rock buildings. We had lots of trees to exploit. I love the English village idea. Thanks for that album.

oooooo, this is cool:

Good morning, everyone. Coffee and cereal time here.

Happy Belated Mr. McTell.

I appreciate sobriety everyday, but days like this are especially nice when I can enjoy starting the day slowly by choice, not because I'm hurting and queasy.

Sao, thank you for sharing the Portmeirion photo. I wasn't sure if you shared an album as I didn't see it. It certainly is a colorful, sunny place and I'm glad you were able to visit.

Life is a tough adventure but it surely has its moments.

My boxing buddies just transferred me money to buy gym membership.

Honestly, I am gobsmacked.

I'm sick as a dog. Called off work. Got a care plan done, the worst most half-arsed one I've ever done, because my brain is just not up for it..

Thanks, Phoenix, I got sucked into the story about Boaty McBoatface.


Here it is going on its first Antarctic expedition:

I'm not sure if this is real..seems like it could be. I like it. Could be a joke, dunno.

Whether it is or it isn't, it's most excellent.

The above two images have been brought to you by, "Wasting Your Life Weekender."

I gotta get out of the house! It's sunny-ish. I come on to log food and end up spinning through all my favorite sites.

Baby eagle sitting in a tree doing the same stuff he's been doing, which is pretty much nothing. But I had to look.

I'm thrilled to death!

They've just added Mystery Science Theater 3000 to Netflix!

I've been watching Chopped and it's making me think I am hungry but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't try to eat yet..

Those cruise ships for the masses are scary big. A co-worker of mine goes on one three times a year, he loves it. That one is Harmony of the Seas it holds over 5400 souls.

Morning all.

Boaty McBoatface reminded me of Crackatinny Street, here in Australia. The street sign keeps getting knocked off. Maybe it's a myth, idk.

Happy birthday Mr McTell.
