Weird bird.

A reminder that psychiatric ill health is entirely distinct from being a rancid husk of a person

Oh yes. outstanding

I always find the Byzantine nonsense of navigating that place quite charming. You feel like you’ve accomplished something when you get to the right door.

There’s a special delight in reading the absurd reviews of obvious maniacs on otherwise overwhelmingly positive assessments of restaurants and hotels. Just saw one for a country hotel where someone had taken a photo of a doormat in autumn to complain about the dry leaves nearby.

The best kind of dog walk weather

I’m not sure there’s a living person I understand less than whoever decides what needs to be chilled at Gousto. Ciabatta? Fridge item. Half a cucumber? Nah, that’ll do fine at room temp.

Don’t be ridiculous, no it isn’t.

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

Made the best sourdough I’ve ever made. Dog stole it. Twat.

RIP Dougie Chamberlain, an absolute giant.

A walk through the park with the youngling and came across this very dense webbed caterpillar nest - very cool, and can’t yet identify the species

Passed MRCP Part 1 :)

Really enjoying the new Linkin Park album - Heavy is the Crown is a particular banger

I’m afraid if you saw the video of Musk as anything other than a deliberate Nazi salute you’re a moron or caping for a fascist. You pick which one - neither will redeem you.

A full night’s sleep! Praise be!

He’d managed for that long after all. The lovely couple let us know where they’d found him and we had a couple of unsuccessful trips down looking for him. Today we got another phone call after he was located and… here he is. Scraggly and quite underweight, but home.

On New Year’s Day we recieved a call from our old vet - Gershom had been brought in, and while underweight he was basically well. We hadn’t answered immediately and the people who’d found him weren’t able to keep hold of him, so the vet suggested they let him go where they’d found him.

Around 3 months before we moved from London to Birmingham, Gershom disappeared. We’d never known how old he was, and because he’d been around pretty solidly I had always assumed that as cats often do, that he’d gone off to find a quiet place to die.

In 2016 we adopted a stray that our two cats had befriended. He was un-neutered and in a rough shape, with an abscess above his eye and generally downtrodden. We named him Gershom, after the firstborn son of Moses whom he named that “because I have been a stranger is a strange land.”

Nippy innit?

If you’re going cheap I’d recommend Regatta, if you’re a bit flush Barbour make some lovely waxed coats that’ll likely last you the rest of forever.

Should be an easy job tbh x

You said famous you didn’t say good. He’s a weirdo but he’s probably also less bad than Jefferson on balance

Edison, Cruise, Hanks, Hardy, Aquinas, Paine.

Okay but they live in the sewer and I live in a house with my wife.

On a ReSPECT form, unspecified “reversible” conditions. I have no fucking clue what conversation and shared understandings were had with that patient.
