On-the-fly micro adjust mechanisms are entirely unnecessary

Your wrist changes size slightly over the course of a day. You deal with it by jiggling the watch up or down your wrist to accommodate.

Sorting through some old clothes and found this

Even though it's way too small, basically a second skin on me (belly edited out of frame for the good of the sub 😂), it's not going anywhere.

A couple of birthday gifts from my sister

She also got us tickets to go see them in September. (the Narrow Stairs tour was the first time we'd seen them live, that's why she got me that on a t-shirt too).

A bit of love for the Addiesdive AD2030

I've had this lad for just over a year, kind of started my watch hobby. I've not worn it in a few months (I generally prefer to have the date on a watch), but got it out of the box today, resized the bracelet and have been loving it again. Great compact size but with a touch of presence, keeps time well with the VH31, and that dial is still cracking. Definitely going to try and wear it more again, maybe as a weekender when the date is less important.

First poem I've written in a long while

Any thoughts/criticisms/advice is much appreciated. I quite enjoyed sitting down and working it out, but it's been quite a few years since I did any creative writing.

---

Whenever I think of you, why do I think of you like this?

Why do I imbue an anima that you do not possess?

Why do I envision a person unlike the one I know,

With thoughts, feelings, behaviours, so different from your own?

Why do I only picture your heart simpatico with mine?

Our bodies unblemished and souls pristine ever intertwined.

Over endless days and nights, desperate for something to feel;

So why must my dreams be like this, searching for something unreal?

Why do I throw us into these fictional scenarios,

Of imagined conversations, trysts, and heartfelt cameos?

Why cast us in modern fairytales that end with "true love's kiss"?

Whenever I think of you I think "why? Why am I like this?"

This was a brand new sensor

Just needed to vent. I put it on, in a site I have used for sensors previously with no issue, it calibrated for an hour as per usual, then gave me error messages for 40 minutes and died. It NEVER worked, never gave a single reading in its brief ignoble life. Now it's gone in the sharps bin. And this message boils my unread blood every time this happens. This isn't about my safety as a user, it's about Freestyle's quality control being absolute bobbins; it is far far FAR from the first time I've experienced this. Utterly infuriating.

Lorus lume love

Been outside hanging the washing, came back into the house and went upstairs, watch basically lit up the darkened stairs and landing area. Incredible little thing.

Not crisps, but crisp adjacent?

These were pretty tasty. I'm not usually a huge fan of bacon flavoured snacks, but these were exactly that kind of classic bacon flavouring with a slight extra sweetness. It rounded them out a bit which I really liked. And they were extremely crunchy, as these types of corn snacks are.

NKD!... A couple days ago

I was completely unable to resist the low price SwissChamp on Amazon. It arrived in the middle of the week, but as it was the black version I also took the opportunity to order blue scale tools and an orange lanyard. This appealed to me because it contrasts my blue scale Recruit with black scale tools (and an orange lanyard).

SwissChamp for £62 on Amazon UK

I don't know if other localities of Amazon are also running deals on Victorinox SAKs right now, but there are a few on Amazon UK and I thought 62 quid for a new SwissChamp was a pretty decent price.

(Will delete if it turns out this kind of thing isn't kosher here/is actually not that good a deal.)
