hmmm. it cannot be that you are spoiled, you have to get up sehr früh for dienstreisen and your food offerings are simply illustrating what all pluschies should expect. sam? SAM?

spooky month special, mr fh 😉 it is meant to be strawberry jam, but as you note it is much runnier than normal. sticky paws all round.

sam sends her commiserations. she asks if it is just pollen or are you also a mozzie magnet? i should not laugh but it is funny how they can find her and her alone among crowds of hooms, "even when i am covered in tropical repellent, g!"

*nods* how can we expect fair treatment for everyfur when some hooms are so against fair treatment and inclusion for other hooms?

sam is reading instead of finishing flopsys hoody. flopsy is being v patient about this, although that may be because REAL TEA is being served in the flat once more (black tea is bad for iron levels). and also this tin of bakage is open for all #cayktunnel
a square tin full of biscotti type bakage in nutty and chocolate with nuts

ok, sam has given blood today so she came back with cakes. i asked if we could end some more to you to help pick you and kuschelmenschin up a bit. please find these egg custards in the cayk tunnel shortly.

today we are mostly looking forward to sam finishing mk4 of flopsys winter weight hoody, and getting to share her first attempt at soft cantucci with you all via cayk tunnel. at least, we think there are some left to share. anyway, this was flopsys hoody yesterday morning.
a small pink handknitted hoody laid out to dry into shape on a mustard yellow towel, with brightly coloured plastic things (blocking combs) holding it in shape in the important places. there are lots of loose wool ends coming off various places.

we have secured a special to-you-only bit of the cayk tunnel and we are chucking in a load of the cantucci stuff sam made yesterday. and a flask of strong tea. sam says there is a biro pen for angry ripping-through-paper scrawling and toecaps for kicking a wall or two on standby.

sam has put what is left in a tin "for sharing later" after we said we needed to try "just one more" each. we think they need a little bit of work, but they are eminently munchable especially with a cuppa.

oh, hang on, she is reminding me that yes she was cross about the three-planet contamination situation in the episode UNTIL she realised that makes europa and the other far out ice moons even more important in our search for life elsewhere. also la'an and the raptor. and pelia and the tardis.

Gromit @samsgromit.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
it was a good episode. the entertainment was doubled by sam being cross about them finding iridium so easily on earth before the best known supply was delivered. also about venus still being a hellbucket. also about the implications for finding a 'clean' second site of life in the solar system.

Gromit @samsgromit.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
not that i know of. but she has been back at work and keeping safe the snackages we got while we were away has taken more than the usual tin-in-a-high-place. so like she learned how to do scandi buns after we were there, she is learning how to keep us in biscuity things.

someone around here tries to do that as well. i think, after a lot of observation, that it is more about making herself do some exercise when the repeated attempts at restraint fail.

sam says if they were, they make an excellent cuppa. she also suggested the overhead lockers because they were surprisingly full before many people came on board.

tonight, with barely any prompting ("i was already thinking of puddings as well as crisps, grom") we have a creamy lemon tart, and for tomorrow we have snackages from the same place. tiny choc chip things for flopsy, and nutty splodges for me.
