This morning it took me three attempts to put on a t-shirt the right way around.
I don't think I slept too well.

It's the Seventh of Bleptember, and our dorky doggo has decided that this is somehow a comfortable position in which to take a nap.

A champagne-coloured French Bulldog lies on her back on a sofa, spreading herself across two blankets and contorting her body into an uncomfortable-looking twist. Her eyes are mostly-closed, and her tongue is sticking-out from between a gap in her teeth in her otherwise-closed mouth.

Bleptember's upon us once again, so I'll be attempting to snap a daily picture of my bleppy doggo with her tongue sticking out!

A sleepy French Bulldog lies on a soft dog bed with her tongue sticking entirely out, lying on a pillowy edge.
This young lady is dog-tired after a long day of running around and playing, this First of Bleptember.

Woke up. Had a walk. Now it must be time for a well-earned nap. 💤

What's the equivalent phrase to "hair of the dog", but for caffeine?
I've always been pretty sensitive to it, and while I'm less-so now, it was still definitely a mistake to eat several portions of tiramisu right before bedtime.
So now I'm going to need more caffeine, this morning, to compensate for the lack of sleep.
What do we call that?

You know that you REALLY needed that coffee when you:
1. get out a mug,

Five Beds
During his Christmas and New Year tour of the UK, Dan is offered the chance to sleep on no fewer than five separate beds. He's not been quite so crass as to rank the crash spaces he was so-kindly offered in order of comfort, but he might as well have.

A Plague Of Seagulls
This summer, I've been tormented by three beasts, who I'll call Mr. Pecky and Mr. & Mrs. Squawky.
Mr. Pecky is a herring gull. Two or three mornings a week, between about 5:30am and about 6:15am, he'll land on the flat roof of the utility room, outside my bedroom window, and repeatedly peck at his own … -
Fucking Car Alarm
Somebody's parked a car opposite our house and left it there, last night. It keeps on setting off it's own alarm (a noisy horn-and-siren affair) - about once ever two hours, for about a quarter of an hour during the night. This morning, it's been consistently going off for the last half hour: it keeps …

Fucking hell; this stuff is weird.
For those who might think to the contrary; no, it's not usual for me to snap at something which wouldn't usually have bothered me, … -
The Software Engineers Behind My Alarm Clock
[this post was lost during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004; it was partially recovered on 21st March 2012]
They must die.
My alarm clock has an interesting featurette. The design is, on the hole, like many similar mains-powered radio alarm clocks. It has a button for "Time Set", and one for "Alarm Set", and …
