cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows: [Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them] 1 TOWER FAN 1: Right lads, get ready. 2 TOWER FAN 1: This is our time. 3 TOWER FAN 1: The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here. 4 TOWER FAN 1: We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft, and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever. 5 TOWER FAN 1: I know what you’re thinking, lads: 6 TOWER FAN 1: Surely this will be the year they finally replace us? 7 TOWER FAN 1: Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018... 8 TOWER FAN 1: Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh… TOWER FAN 2: Cheers mate 9 TOWER FAN 1: But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists. By the time they remember, new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon. 10 TOWER FAN 1: So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out... 11 TOWER FAN 1: ...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than. 12 [The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder] PERSON: APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA

Don’t you mean another bathroom

Caption: you can do anything, but not everything Two rows of jars. Top row has one jar being filled all the way. Bottom row has all of the jars being filled a little.

Happy Friday!

Trying to remind myself of this lesson.

Day 14 with Ollie. Making sure he gets his veggies

I’ll post this to our social media pages too 👍

Do you want to help shape research into how and why health and healthcare for people living in different types of rural communities differs from those living in urban areas? Researchers are looking for people who live in rural and island communities in Scotland and who a) live with or have experienced cancer or a long-term rheumatic or musculoskeletal condition, or b) are over the age of 65 and have been hospitalized at least twice in the past two years, to be part of the Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement group for the BRUCES research project. Group members will be compensated for their time. https://bit.ly/BRUCESPPI

Researchers at Aberdeen Uni are looking for ppl in rural & island Scotland to help shape research into healthcare provision for specific medical conditions. Check out the link for more info on the project & how to get involved.

Is anyone else getting multiple porn accounts following them each and every day? Becoming a real pain blocking them all. I hope they get this sorted @bsky.app

Day 13 with Ollie. Christmas tree comes down tomorrow. Wonder how much he will have grown when it is next up.

I’m gonna need more popcorn

I can hear the ignition

"On Her Majesty's Slippery Surface" 😍😍😍
Best gritter lorry name. Ever. 😆

Oh I think there are some of those right here on the planet

Hopefully you?

Day 12 with Ollie. Had a bit of a busy night cleaning up after his jab and worming but he is still a happy chap.

Not Rodgers 😩 That job was his life, he was due for retirement next year.

Will Tufty desert you when you have to cross the road too?

It also captures Orkney as the very special place that it is

Very true … and they don’t get involved for locking them up in a cage (puppy prison) either. Although we are surrounded by hundreds of sheep and I’m sure I heard him whining for mint sauce the other day 🤣

Same with my 9 week old pup …. although it’s ok for him to do the first one …. swap that one out for having needles instead of teeeth

Easy …. Wingspan

The Visitor

Lots of good memories I hope.

Day 11 with Ollie. First trip to the vet, not a sound when he had his jab and he also happily ate his worming tablet without any fuss

They say money can’t buy you love. Well it can’t buy you intelligence or common sense either.

It didn’t last long. Now getting multiple porn accounts following me each day. Why can’t they stop this centrally as they are easy to spot. Blocking them all is becoming a pain and makes this places much less enjoyable @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

View from a ferry showing waves at sea and the snow capped hills of Orkney mainland

Not a bad day to be at sea

Nope. Don’t do them

Day 10 with Ollie. I think this picture will explain it best

In this world in 2025 who knows

Chest or head? 🤔
