After Edgar basically being attacked the other day, Oisín just came home with a clump of fluff sticking out and someone else's claw stuck to his tail. Whoever this cat is needs a stern talking to.

Me: early night for you, Edgar! Edgar: *zooms through the lounge, dining room, kitchen to the back door, knocking my knitting needle off the stool in a threatening manner*

He's sticking close to home. I think he stood his ground against the other cat, relying on floof & a sweary mouth as usual, & the other cat stunned him with a frontal attack at his face.

The vet asked me if Edgar would bite or scratch her. "No. He's very good. He loves vets," I said. Then she put the stethoscope on him & he started purring and requested a belly rub

Edgar's just been told he has to be an indoor Edgar for now. His eye looked great when he first got up but then I think the light was too much for it & within a couple of minutes of being up it got weepy & closed 😿

Poor Edgar's been in a fight. He's been caught on the nose and his left eye is extremely gooped up. Not going to race straight to the vet but we may end up going tonight if he's still not opening his eye because that would suggest his eyeball got caught

I can only hope that the boomers who haven't yet tipped over the edge into being completely radicalised look at Reform complaining that a terrorist has been imprisoned &...who am I kidding? It's one rule for grandparents sitting on the pavement holding signs & another for those blowing shit up.

I'm skipping the 1980s because there's a lot of bands that made me pre-1990 but for albums the '90s were really my time (note: REM doesn't seem to be on there and Green would have made it in if they were, breaking the 1980s rule!) www.my9albums.com/s/W7Yh5Mj2Do

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

Maybe if that's their attitude, the greater risk would be their being allowed to invest in the Oxford-Cambridge tech hub. What kind of dodgy dealings would result if they are? (Tbh, I find the future of tech innovation more important than a football club. Sorry. I know I'm in a minority here but...)

Email from Snag. Presumably, Meta prefers it when women's bodies are being recorded by pervs using their glasses & not when they're displaying tights & undies in paid advertising on Meta apps to other women who might actually want to buy them.
Our 25% off ended on Wednesday, and that was meant to be that. Then Meta restricted our main ad account. Again.

They've since looked into it and confirmed we didn't break any rules. Brilliant, you'd think. Except they still haven't switched the account back on, and they've stopped replying.

We’ve managed to get some ads running through a backup setup, so you might still see us pop up here and there. But our main account, the one we normally rely on to reach people, is still completely restricted.

So we're stuck trying to keep things moving while we wait on a company that agrees we did nothing wrong, but can't seem to press the button to fix it. If you've ever tried to get an actual human at Meta to reply to you, you'll know exactly how that's going.

So here's what we've decided. Rather than putting the money we'd normally spend pushing our ads this weekend into Meta, we'd much rather give it to you.

25% off is back, sitewide, until Monday night.

Everything's included apart from the usual exclusions*. No code needed. Your discount applies automatically at checkout.

Weekend reading! Finished the lovely Kindred Spirits at Harling Hall by Sharon Booth at lunchtime so it's on to Miss Knight and the Poacher's Catch by Vered Ehsani next. I love that series. It's a short one so I might get on to Impractical Magic by Emily Grimoire this weekend too #BookSky
Synopsis to Impractical Magic by Emily Grimoire: In Oak Haven, this witch is about to brew up more trouble than she bargained for… 

When Scarlett Melrose receives a call from her estranged sisters, she immediately knows something is wrong. The magic at their mother’s inn – and in fact, the whole of Oak Haven – has gone awry, and they need her help to save it. 

As the conflicted middle-child, returning home has given Scarlett the heebie jeebies. And to make matters worse, she’s just come face-to-face with charming old flame and handyman, Nate. 

When her spell to fix the magic goes horribly wrong, all Scarlett wants to do is flee back to the peace and quiet of her San Francisco flat. But she can’t keep running away forever, and she’ll need all the help she can to solve this magical mess. 

With time slipping away, Scarlett must learn that sometimes the greatest spells really do come with the greatest responsibility – especially when love is involved
