@SKT this made me think of these from the exhibition earlier. I know raindrops are different to Tupperware but a similar idea of finding beauty in unexpected places.

The photographer is Richard Caldicott.

Do the mods keep score of who gets in first with a request to add measurements to new sales threads? Track PBs? If yes, who’s winning?

@endo it looks good precisely because I had nothing to do with it!

Second and final visit to the Fragile Beauty exhibition at the V&A before it closes on 5 Jan - definitely worth a look if you’re within range. This time was about focusing on the photos that stood out to me rather than taking in the whole thing. In order of appearance, these are my top 5.

Bruce Davidson UNTITLED [YOUTH WITH COKE MACHINE], BROOKLYN GANG, 1959

Robert Mappelthorpe SELF PORTRAIT

Hank Willis Thomas PRICELESS #1

Sam Taylor-Johnson CRYING MEN (Michael Gambon)

Thomas Struth X-RAY TELESCOPE, CAST, CERN, FERNEY-VOLTAIRE

@Tago-Mago definitely not cooked myself!

Baked delica pumpkin with harissa, labneh, pine nuts, pistachios, pomegranate, mint and coriander and quite a nice Viognier

@northsouthdenimguy keep going! It’s inevitable that if we have more time to do fun stuff we’ll do more fun stuff!

@Matt haha! I think he’s just going through the land shark phase. IH gear appears to be puppy-proof, so it’s all good!

By the next time I see him he’ll have his adult teeth and he’ll have graduated from puppy school!

Met my sister’s new dog for the first time today. He likes eating bootlaces and chain stitch runoff!

Happy Christmas

More every time I count! Maybe 21 (which would be fitting), or I could cop out and say a plurality!

Barbour Int’l, IH Hamburg party shirt, Merz, 666S-21

(Not the best photo but it’s one of those days when each one you take is worse than the one before!)

@T4920 I think everyone has a friend like that. Still three weeks is pretty good going, and there’s plenty of time to get up to the right kind of no good!

@Tago-Mago and possibly even more amicable after 3or 4!

@Tago-Mago @seawolf not tried this yet, but it could the answer to gin OFs, gin with barrel aged characteristics, and avoiding a mod war! I’ve hovered over it a few times but not yet committed. I’ve enjoyed a number of Kyrö’s whiskies so should be a fairly safe bet when I get round to it.

Happy birthday Nicolas! Sounds like you’ve got a good day (few days?) ahead.

@serkanm I agree with @goosehd - I think sizing up would create problems with sleeve length and excess fabric around the torso. The chest should relax slightly with wear and feel more comfortable (although it looks good as is).

@Mister_Brue thanks! Not sure what happened to my eyes in that photo.

@Giles I prefer to eat potatoes!

Also “eats nothing with eyes” could be fixed by modifying the guest rather than the menu - not a recommendation, just an observation - and picking up from @mclaincausey it could be the more humane option!
