This parking advice signpost is much more effective now.

A fallen street sign lies uprooted on the sidewalk, exposing the base and surrounding pavement.

Half-time oranges at the cricket. 🏏

A group of people are playing cricket in a grassy park surrounded by leafless trees.

This tree, as big kid says, is sus.

A tree with markings (including "69") on its trunk stands in a grassy area.

Today’s trees.

BOOM! Figured out how to turn off automatic blog post thumbnails. (Wrap <!-- --> around the thumbnail stuff in index.html.)

On a roll, but should quit while I’m ahead.

Housing association sent someone round a couple of days ago to place this essential post-Grenfell fire safety sticker inside our communal front door.

Just now another guy came to do the same job.

No excuses now for not leaving the house.

A door with a metal handle and lock features a green sign indicating "Turn to open."

Finally figured out how to use the Lite Youtube embed plugin.

In settings, replaced “post-content” with “post__content”. (This maybe unique to my Anatole theme.)

Now instead of no videos showing in my blog posts, every video is displayed twice.

🤦‍♂️

Space-obsessed four year old last week:

“My head is full of questions, Dad. There are eight planets in our solar system. Four rocky planets, and four gas and ice planets. Do the gas planets have a rocky core?”

Space-obsessed four year old today:

“Daa-aad. What’s in Uranus?”

Spent half the day trying to force @robb@social.lol’s YouTube Lite plugin to work on my site, but have conceded failure. I thought I had it working at one time (and it definitely worked on my test-blog), so deleted all the YT shortcodes I’d been using previously. Gah.

We always used the have a special meal to mark New Year’s Day, like Christmas and Easter Sunday, but yesterday, as big kid was away and I had to go and collect him, we ate leftover burgers, chips, rice, beans and salad.
