The poor buzzard was still there when I was walking the dogs this morning, so clearly something was wrong. Luckily my wife was able to get hold of a local falconer who was able to catch him and hopefully nurse him back to health. 🦅

Always fun when your bike runs out of electricity on the way to work.
Note to self: connect the trickle charger TONIGHT!

Taking the dogs for a walk with our oldest and we came across this beautiful buzzard just sat there. Wasn't bothered by us really. I just hope it doesn't have a bust wing or anything.

Apparently left-handed people can't use a fountain pen as the left hand smudges the ink as they write. I call bullshit on that.

I think if I had my time again, I would have become a software developer. I just so much fun - coming up with ways to solve a problem in an elegant way is very satisfying.

Today was spent goat-proofing the automatic chicken door. We recently moved it to ground level and now the goats use it as a scratch post. 🐐

About
Used to help run Fosstodon. These days, I just hang out here.
I work in InfoSec and live with two kids, one wife, two dogs, a blind cat, a flock of 25 chickens, 8 goats, and more fish than I can count.
Also into watches and motorbikes — both riding and wrenching.
This account isn't monitored often (I mostly engage with the Fedi via my Pure Comments instance) so responses may be delayed, especially if you're asking for help. Sorry.
I also run @purecommons.
