Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs.
I hope that you have a really wonderful weekend.

Keeping an eye on you, you're too important to him to lose.

Turned out nice again.

A post from ViperThreat: Worked as an on-call computer tech for about a year, and I've seen some weird shit. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc. The weirdest one was this cool old dude who had retired and lived in a double-wide trailer in a fairly nice retirement trailer park. His house had one of those trains that traveled along the walls from room to room, occasionally poking through walls and such. The primary purpose of this train was to carry his bird (a blue macaw IIRC) around the house. From his explanation, the bird had some birth defects and had difficulty flying, so they built the train for the bird to cruise around the house on. This may not sound all that weird to you, but let me set the stage for you: You're a college student removing a stupid browser hijack from some old guy's computer. You're nearly done with the job when you hear a clacking sound and look up to see a toy train crossing your vision. Aboard the train is a decently sized bird that makes eye contact with you and says "choo choo motherfucker" before disappearing into the next room. One of the most surreal moments of my life.

Get a load of this. 😆

Oor Wullie: the Adult Years

🧵

Wullie joins an apprenticeship as a plasterer but is sacked due his constant tomfoolery and being off every Monday after a weekend on pills. He gets a job at Blockbuster and spends most of his day watching video nasties

She has conveniently been classifying training and distraction treats ( to stop her pulling towards other dogs) as calorie free

Absolutely would be. At least the unexpected jobs remove the having to think about what will I do today.

Happy birthday for yesterday, sounds like you had a lovely time (apart from the work bit). 🥳

This is still my #1 favorite video, btw. There’s a version that’s just an hour loop of it and the longer I watch it, the funnier it gets. If the meteor is about to hit and we’re all going to die, I’ll just sit and watch this until I’m vaporized. youtu.be/JXnjD5-xpHY?...

Trust me, her bum looks big in that coat 🙄

Of course I will, anything to distract her from the Intense Stare 😂

Reading Tim Curry's memoir, Vagabond, and during the chapter about how The Rocky Horror Show came about, he mentions that the show's publicist used to bring her six year old son to watch rehersals, her son being Alexander Siddig. Dr. Bashir witnessed the birth of Dr. Frank-N-Furter!

At some point I will break and give her half a dental chew.
Her joints will thank me in later years 🙄

Always another job to do, this country living is all well and good but sometimes I think it might be nice to just lounge about 🤔😄😄

Since getting the new cooker my big stock pot doesn't work on the induction so I had to do it in two batches, but blackcurrant is such an intense flavour it's worth it.

🤣🤣🤣

Elsie wishes to discuss the portion size in her bowl of late and refutes the idea that she is a Fat Lass.

I haven't found a way of keeping them out while still being able to access the apples easily. I set traps which helps, but there is always some attrition as the store is in an outside shed. They can squeeze through anything a tiny bit bigger than their skulls and will chew through thin wire 😬

Bastard mice have nibbled a tiny bit out of 7 apples in the store so I want to process them into the freezer rather than let them rot. This means making space in the freezer, so this afternoon I made 16 jars of blackcurrant jam. Just leaves 1kg each of blackcurrants gooseberries and rasps in there.

👍🤩

Useful to know for the summer tho, ta.

I spend far too much time stopping and looking up at the buildings 😆😆😆 Any recommendations for a good cafe? My favourite has changed hands and has gone far too fancy/complicated for my tastes.

As long as yours hadn't been kept warm in a service station for too long, you're probably OK. 😂. Poor man had a rough night and decided to head home first thing in the morning which was a quite traumatic as it meant stopping at all of the service stations on the M62 🫢

Can't wait for the festive season to be over so I can have a day in Shrewsbury just bimbling about.

In our household it's code for the world dropping out of your bottom as it was traced back to being the cause of a friend's digestive distress.

Have reserved this at the library having seen it here 👍

Happy Birthday 🎂

Best to be sure. I had to Google two charges on my most recent bill, turned out to be fine, but for a few minutes I was mildly panicking.

My son introduced me to this BBC series from 1978 called Connections, about how interconnected events led to the development of technology and the making of the modern world. It’s absolutely delightful and if you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat
