But let me guess, you've tried nothing and you're all out of ideas?

I think we can safely say who, out of the two of you, has something meaningful and fulfilling in life... Anyway, this complete stranger says post more photos of your dog! It's what the internet is for!

Can confirm that watching a bunch of guys in hi-vis use machines to make dams in a canal is oddly compelling.

TBF, I think they both have the right idea. Would that I could join them...

Holy fucking shitballs, Batman! I think this is quite possibly the worst... whatever-the-fuck-it-is... I have ever seen. This guy wishes he was Neil Breen.

Totally. As a kid all mine went in one cardboard box. As an adult, once I got over a few thousand pieces, I realised that organising is the only way - especially given I build my own stuff more. Sets get built when new, then parted out.

All bricks stored by colour; all plates same, but bagged by size also. Other part types have their own containers and may be sorted into bags per colour if there's lots. (Yes, I really do have enough Lego that this matters 😆)

Are we sure he won't steal the package?

He has suffered The Awakening. Does make one wonder, though: do cats, generally speaking, know they are cats...? (this thought brought to you by It's 04:05 and I ought to be asleep)
A two panel tumblr meme. The upper pane shows a cat with a microphone being held to it's face as someone asks "Sir are you aware you are a cat?" The lower pane shows the cat looking startled. The text beneath says "the awakening"

Not to worry! It does look like an interesting thing to play with. Bit outside my price range, though.

When I bonked my head and had a concussion for a couple of weeks I was pretty much confined to bed by a usually not very assertive partner. I was apparently being extremely difficult and had to be ordered around. I don't recall much 😂 Hopefully your partner doesn't end up being loopy for too long!

Some fun chemicals in electronics, too. And, given the likelihood of there being military stuff in there as well... who knows else. Would not want to under or downwind of that.

Per the ALT-Text, it's a Supernote Nomad, an e-ink notebook that looks like it might be pretty good.

Given she seems to have got the hang of having two big brothers in no time at all, I'm sure she'll be okay with this new, strange one, before too long. Kitten curiosity will get the better of her 😀

I'm sure they'll all get the hang of things soon enough. If he's super-chilled and unbothered by them then they'll work out he's not a threat pretty quickly, I should think. Plus, the fact he's made of warm should surely count in his favour 😉

I'm fairly sure it is in league with the gall-bladder, too. My appendix failed and then a few years later my gall-bladder made its presence known with increasing irritations.

Yep. It definitely feels like it's all accelerating. Still true that the weather here is never one thing for long enough to get properly used to, though. A few week-long heatwaves with cooler bits between means we never acclimatise. Plus Yorkshire is very "what's today's weather going to be?" "yes."

British houses are generally terrible when it gets hot. The loft traps the heat and it means the upstairs gets unbearable. Having (I think) four fans going constantly in various bits is helping move some of it out but it's still not great. I would kill for a decent thunderstorm!

I missed your threads about him, at the time, but I share your anger and frustration. If he was dumped then I hope whoever did it gets their just reward. He's such a pretty boy with those beautiful blue eyes, too! Hopefully he will soon find a home that deserves and cherishes him.

I wish we could have some of the downpour over here. Some rain to cool the roof down would be very nice.

Peter definitely has the right idea. Even an orange cat knows without asking: if in doubt, sleep.

Right there with you, Gonz' - we have also been having far too many celeries and too many humiseries. But at least I don't have a fur coat like you!

So, the simple act of existing in this weather has given me a headache. I have just sliced a toe on a ladder that is in exactly the same position it always is. What's next? Stab myself in the face with a fork? It feels like a third thing is probably inevitable, given I am a dyspraxic idiot.

And I don't think they really care about the end 'product' either, because that's all it is: product. Not art. They just want the accolades for having 'produced' it.

Oh, and thanks for giving us smoke from Canadian wildfires, guys. We'll add it to the smoke from our burning moors.

So, standing in the kitchen chopping frozen fruit and adding it to jelly (to have with not as much ice-cream than if it was just ice-cream, so it's a bit less naughty) is too much activity and now I have a headache. Fuck this weather and the fossil fuel barons it rode in on.

A Seattle-area raccoon with short spine syndrome - but don't worry, he seems to get around just fine. Just might be our Lord and Saviour. HTH.

He survived to adulthood and apparently gets around just fine, climbs fences and all, doesn't look underfed, so I reckon he's doing all right.
