That thing where you plant a thing and then you wait and then like 7 years later it becomes true? Yeah, I have too many figs.

One of my inboxes houses 'portents of impending doom'. Previously, I would have read this and gone, 'How fascinating. This is so academic and esoteric, it will never be a relevant piece of knowledge. This could be really interesting!' Today, I'm now going to eye the news for the next few months.

It would be mean to tell you all it is 57 degrees here and I put on a different hoodie. But, you know, accuracy and all that.

I feel like we need to start a new trend. When you return from "out of office", you need to have an auto responder for the first few days for, "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over this view I just had. Could you repeat that, but in 24 hours?"

Pictured: the cat that has lost all outdoor privileges for the evening after bringing in two mice (very alive, very wriggly) in the space of 25 minutes. I understand that I am supposed to be impressed, but he's grounded.
