Phase 5: wait 6 months, whilst daily thinking to yourself that you should probably sort that out at some point, then add a layer of Polyfilla to the surface.
The now mostly-repaired ceiling hole. The previous brown nastyness is covered with a white layer of Polyfilla, so it at least matches the colour of the rest of the ceiling, even if the texture doesn't.

Well that's helped to narrow the mystery category down to every possible answer imaginable. 😀👍

Here are a few actual facts about welfare payments in the UK in response to fairly nasty, baseless headlines like the below, which are numerous and unfortunately widely believed by the UK population. 🧵

Britain must pop the welfare balloon or face ruin.

I agree. I regret my part in taming Barry but I just don't think he'd make it on his own in the wild now. He's lost his edge. (He's a Chrome boy now. Ba-dum-tch.)

HOLD UP! I'VE FOUND HIM! Silly little boy was hiding behind someone else's chunky laptop. But I'm sure the other laptop has been used recently... And I've mentioned a few times that I couldn't find mine, so that can only mean one thing. (glances at husband)

It's not where I always put it, and after having checked the vast expanse of my house a few times now, can only assume he's run away from home. I'm really worried though because he forgot his charging cable. He might already be dead. 😞

Stepped in what I thought was a small puddle of water but it quickly became apparent it was portal to the depths of space. In case you wondered how my morning's going.
A cartoon drawing of a nonplussed person getting sucked, feet first, into a quicksand style portal on the floor. You can see a vast array of stars on a dark blue background through the portal. The person has their arms by their side and their head tilted slightly as they look directly at you and say "meh".

As the sun went away and then came back again, does that technically mean it's Thursday now, so when I get up in the morning it'll actually be Friday? 🤞😀

Bit embarrassing to be caught with fluff on you right when the whole world's watching.
The sun (unobscured) before the start of the partial eclipse. There are a couple of dark squiggles on it that looks like pieces of lint or fluff.

Another layer, an outline and a couple of minor tweaks, and I'm much happier with the look now. She is varnished and ready to accompany me for as long as the flimsy card she resides on lasts.
An updated version of Lieutenant Ortegas as a cactus from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds painted on a piece of card to go inside a clear phone case. The colours are bolder and less streaky and there's now a white outline to separate her from the black background better.

Got bored and made a Lieutenant Ortegas insert for my poor naked phone. 🌵
A thin piece of card cut out in the shape of a mobile phone to go inside the back of a clear phone case. It shows Lieutenant Ortegas in the form of a cactus with  burgundy Star Fleet uniform on, as per Sock's hallucination in the latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Fixed it
The iconic "Les Miserables" poster but I've, comically, replaced "Les" with "Fewer" pretending I've misunderstood the poster to say "Less Miserables" which would be grammatically incorrect

They sort of did it. Not quite as much as I would have liked, but at least it was acknowledged this time. (First post-credit scene.) The second post-credit scene addressed my second issue, so all in all, I am satisfied.

For reasons I won't go into (knobhead cat) I was acutely aware of someone rummaging around in my back passage (eh-hem) at 5:30am. I caught a woman in her nightie surreptitiously relocating garden waste, at which point my interest dramatically waned, but I was stuck discussing bamboo by this point.

Almost 30 years ago I went on a holiday to Mallorca with my friends from school. Every day on the beach I'd watch a sky banner getting dragged along that said FLIEG MIT ALFONSO. To this day I still think about Alfonso despite having never met him. Flieg well and prosper, my man. 🛩️

Next door's tree has been ever so slowly falling down over the last few days. The creaking wood combined with the atmospheric sound effects from the local gull population and haunting metallic groans and horns from a nearby building site make it feel like I'm in a surreal land-based nautical horror.

someone explain to me if flat earthers believe the other planets are also discs, and if so, are they stacked at an angle towards us so they appear to look round? And what about the moon? Or do they not believe that planets exists at all? Are they just holes in the sky tarp or something?
