I'm pleased to say that there are now at least 17 David Hoffmans on Blue-sky. We nearly need a collective noun....

Today is a really good day for taking old flat feather pillows outside and decanting the contents into a different, smaller pillow or cushion, because you WILL get covered in feathers, but if you just stand there for a minute they will all blow off you again.

It used to be said: if you've got nothing to say, say nothing. However, in these days of pain woe and impending catastrophe *, I think the equivalent is: if you've got nothing to say, post a cute cat picture.

There are now 12 David Hoffmans and 5 Hoffs. That's very nearly a subcommittee...

I feel like Bluesky would like me to post something, so I'll start off just by saying hello everyone, I'm very pleased to have moved from Muskland into the wide open prairies.
