Mediterranean tonight, again
Flapjacks and muffins are not part of a Mediterranean diet (just in case…)
Harry Pokeman City Potter
Brand new Slytherin Scarf (still with tag), Man City beanie, empty Pokémon ball... part of a bigger booty.
17 mins, 30 secs.
Slowing assembling this RÅSKOG trolley while listening to the new Sunn O))) album. Found it in a large skip... brand new! Also found several boxed and unopened electronics and a decent DVD player -- something for a later post.
Not a fan of Ikea, avoid it at all times... but this trolley is ideal to keep materials in our hobby room. Why do people discard brand new stuff? Why don't even bother to unseal and open stuff?
Half year of discarded electronics-related goodies
Photo taken last year. All good or in perfect condition! Most was donated, just kept most of the memory sticks, the apple USB / HDMI adapter and one of the "cube" power adapters.
I love these guys!
Dumpster diving channels on Youtube are a bit of a hit-and-miss really. But over the last 8 or so years I've discovered truly entertaining ones. Here's my top 7:

Mediterranean tonight!
A last-minute from being binned meal: bread with olives, artichokes hearts, sun dried tomatoes, feta stuffed peppers, pimentos, dry-cured ham and a fantastic selection of sandwiches.
Recommend me weird fiction books, please!
Enjoy weird fiction overall, sci-fi and "horror" (in a very general sense). I like some Lovecraft, VanderMeers, Ballard, China Miéville, Samanta Schweblin, late William Gibson, Mariana Enríquez... what recent books or writers caught your eye that may loosely fit the term or are similar to works of the above authors? Can be in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
One person’s binned Warhammer is another person’s treasure.
That’s true, folks. Found a nice haul of WH 40k Imperial Agents (?) and a couple of incomplete imperial knights in the bin. Got caught in the act by this nice bin worker who told me that he took a couple of unopened WH boxes from the same bin last week!
Monday is Pizza and Beer
Leftovers from a meeting on ... er... sustainable development...
