Been trying to work out why my code was running so slow over this huge html FORM. Turns out 99% of the delays was LastPass. Yay

Was reading about this purely because of the authors notes at the end of the latest Ana and Din book, A Trade of Blood. It’s insane.

I really can recommend NOT getting into a fight with a deranged cat at 6am. Has somewhat fucked up today.

At the GP to get checked out after cat attack this morning. Lady at the desk has come in to “ask to be put down” and they really aren’t dealing with it very well :(

Well that was fun. Our cat went out the rooflight above our bed, found another cat, had a fight, ran back in and I got attacked by the other cat as I shut the window. Washing my hand where it scratched me I passed out and came to on the bathroom floor drenched in sweat. And all before 6:30am. FFS

Was looking for clips of the Tomorrows World episode where they shot some new bullet proof glass, and instead found a clip from 1969 where the inventor of a bullet proof body shield happily wore it whilst two guys shot him repeatedly with hand guns from a couple of metres away. Live. On TV.

Every time I try to talk about deaf cats, my phone corrects it to "dead." It's getting quite awkward. "Have you got any dead cats that need a home?" "Would you consider adopting a dead cat?" "He can't live with kids, he's dead"

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Financial key performance indicators

The Group's total loss for the year was £12,234,738 (2024: loss £10,644,836)
The increase in reported loss compared with the prior year was driven primarily by the fair value adjustment
relating to convertible loan notes recognised in 2024, which reduced the overall reported loss in that year.
Operating loss for the year was £12,828,534 (compared with £14,133,347 in 2024). The underlying operating
performance of the business remained focused on revenue growth, product investment and disciplined cost
management.

The group has continued to maintain a dynamic operating model, balancing investment in growth initiatives
across key markets with careful control of operating expenditure and cash runway.

At 31 December 2025, the group had net assets of £10,925,686 (2024: £15,659,513). Assets were
predominantly comprised of cash and cash equivalents totaling £6,493,450 (2024: £11,705,453) and term
deposits of £2,649,047 (2024: £5,948,370).

Not a drill. Take all necessary steps to protect yourselves. It’s too late for the person who tried to warn us all, don’t let their sacrifice be in vain

The underground car park at Tesco. On the wall by the lifts is a chilling message stuck onto the store signage:
TESCO BANANAS LOOSE
The sticker is ripped along the bottom edge, obviously a terrible struggle has taken place
