Well that is me done with my birthday week now!
It has been fun and that is the most important thing, as far as I am concerned. And I am the one that counts.
Sunday afternoon and I am just awaiting on the final two packages from Amazon.
Told you it was my birthday way. Actually one is for Mrs T so it is not all for me.
Today though is Sunday and it happens to be the last one in August, I think we can safely say that is the end of the summer that never was bar a couple of days here and there!
This morning was a delicious brunch cooked by yours truly and consisted of scrambled eggs and black pudding, I love black pudding.
Any other black pudding lovers in the house?
Plenty of iron and tastes mighty damn fine. Actually I had a dark beer last night as a treat. All these dark things we love, I love it.
But back to today and it being a satisfied Sunday.
As part of my birthday treats I got myself a new phone...
First time I have preordered something ever!
So when my Google Pixel 9 XL Pro arrived on Friday I was over the fluffing moon and have been spending this morning learning some of the features.
I most definitely feel like a kid in a sweet shop spending his birthday money!
I had planned getting a new phone for my birthday on the 17th but then saw the Pixel 9 was coming out on the 22nd, so I paid my dosh and preordered!
I remember being on a few platforms over the years where we used the tag #sundayfunday well today it has been just that!
I will be making a beer saturday post for tomorrow later on this afternoon but just look what I found in my beer!
Did you see it?
Well let's go for a side view!
Instead of "waiter there is a fly in my soup", it is more a case of Tengo there's a fish swimming in your beer!
Talking of water, you know boats float on water... or do they...
Did you see it in my lead image?
Yes a fluffing boat decided that gravy lake sounded like a great place to have a cruise!
Oh the joys of this magic editor feature.
Just tap, then redefine as whatever you want and away you go!
Interestingly though, it does not work with body parts, I wonder so they don't get accused or sued for any of the fake porn stuff that was or maybe still is going around!
I was talking to someone last night and yes it was agreed that I love gadgets!
Which got me to thinking about the summer that has passed.
At the start of summer I bought myself a drone.
Well I put the app on my phone and got my drone licences but with one thing and another never used it before my phone died!
So now I have finally got myself a kick fluffing ass phone I have installed the app.
Watch out for some drone footage turning up on my blog one day.
In the meantime, I am away to Edinburgh tomorrow to do a few things and shall test out the camera features for the first time!
Who says grumpy curmudgeons can't get excited once in a while!
So now the birthday week is over and I am a year older but not necessarily any wiser.
One thing I notice every year is that even if we change, people will still be people.
Nothing should surprise us anymore.
I always love to see the positive but sometimes with some people it can be a challenge.
Now though I need to mosey on down to the ATM and get some cash for the trip to Edinburgh tomorrow.
I most defo am old school as I like the feeling and security of cash in my pocket. What if my card malfunctions etc etc ... Yeah give me both options!
I wish that you all have a brilliant week ahead, and until we meet again enjoy your Sunday πΆπ΅πΆ
Today then is a wee post to celebrate #beautifulsunday from @ace108 and also @c0ff33a for the #sublimesunday tag.

I had to google to figure out black pudding is some kind of sausage.
Congratulations of getting the Google Pixel 9 XL Pro.
Hope you have lots of fun with it.
Hehe the black pudding is a version of blood pudding. The phone thank you and so far it is awesome!
Hell, yeah...
From my photo taken in Wetherspoons March 2017. 2 for 1 Black Pudding deal.
hehe I recognise the 'Spoons patterned plate! Now that is a deal, yeah love black pudding too!
Grumpy like Garfield we still excited with new toys no matter the age! Getting drone flying should be entertaining, don't crash and burn....
Birthday's a great excuse to be positive with a spoiler, always young at heart!
Still carry cash irrespective of what anyone says, many here simply don't like being paid online.
!LUV every day whether birthday or not, have a good one!
@tengolotodo, @joanstewart(5/10) sent you LUV. | tools | discord | community | HiveWiki | <>< daily
Yes it is great to get excited with new toys I think, and it keeps us young at heart!
Ah the drone yeah I need to be careful where I fly in the beginning hehe! Don't want a crash landing at sea π€£
Should be fun learning both the phone and the drone, always keeps the brain active test driving new equipment.
Congratulations on your new phone π, it's nice to spoil yourself every once in awhile.
Hehe I do like to spoil myself from time to time, mind you I love to spoil other people too!
Thank you so much Meya and have a blessed new week.
You're welcome π€
I will and you tooπ
Did the boat reach it's destination? or was it stuck thereππ€£. That feeling when new things arrivedππ.
Hehe I think it sank in rough waters π€£
I have to keep you amused π€£
Congratulations on your new phone, I hope it delivers perfectly well.
And here I was wondering what that teeny-weeny car was doing in that gravy. Aha! An application is the culprit!
Till same time next year, when we get to celebrate you again by the grace of God, stay coolπ
Thank you so much Edith. Yes it will be me the problem and not the phone!
Hehe the app is inbuilt to the photo editor so I think of not as an extra app!
Yes same time same place next year Edith :)
Think I am feeling pretty hungry now. Happy Birthday Ed, good to hear you had a good one! I didnt eat any black pudding for a long time!
Thanks Steve and I hope you ate something. I wonder what is a vegan alternative to black pudding!
I'm not sure there is one Ed , pigs blood would be the antithesis of veganism.
Belated happy birthday!ππ₯³ what a nice birthday gift!
Hah πI knew there was something on the gravy.
!PIZZA
hehe thank you and yes I am sure the artist in you would have twigged something was there hehe!
$PIZZA slices delivered:
@jijisaurart(7/10) tipped @tengolotodo
Birthday weeks are fun but always come to an end. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Not a big fan of black pudding though, too much blood for my taste. I know a lot of people who like it though, just not me! lol
Enjoy the new toy, a nice way to end your birthday week Ed!
Black pudding...no thank you...
You sure had a nice birthday and onward to next year meanwhile happy +1. ππ
Happy birthday, congratulations and new year, new life, good luck.
Glad you had fun, and happy birthday!
I have really missed out, Mr Tengo didn't even call me over. Happy belated birthday friend. Maybe I should have dropped my contact to stay well informed. Lols. Hope you enjoyed yaself? The 'ya' is intentional. Hahaha
So now the birthday week is over and I am a year older but not necessarily any wiser π€¦, not again Mr. Tengo, keep the storytelling forfor another. Always funny all the way
