Tip for the day: If you're going to sort thousands of slides, make sure you mark which ones are rejects and which are to keep.
And if you don't mark them, don't expect to know whether you're coming or going 40 years later.

Black Pudding update.. Usually I get Bury Black Pudding.. Today, though, I'm enjoying the Simon Howie offering.
Most tasty it is, too! 😁

Simon Howie is the black pudding of choice here chez Casa Reynard. Though I plan on trying the stuff from the butcher in town.

P.S. the Simon Howie haggis is also very good

The Republicans have won control of the US House of Representatives. Which means that, having control of all branches of government, all the blame will fall on one party when this all goes awry. This has happened before, not pretty, sure not to be attractive this time around.

Well, I can't say I'm particularly impressed with the calibre of the people heading to cabinet jobs. I fear that they are nothing more than a bunch of "yes men" and "yes women" who will tell the president elect what he wishes to hear, and that congress will simply rubber stamp whatever gets proposed.

Those who pooh-poohed Project 2025 look like they're going to get a rather nasty surprise. And it looks like Trump wants to eviscerate the military in revenge for them not backing him back in 2020...

Oh deary me...

Which one will stay warmer the longest?

The furry, vibrating and self-heating one that sits at a nice and constant 39C
