AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! *muppet flail* OMG that would be amazing! And hopefully the 2 month schedule will give Kusanagi-sensei plenty of time to implement her vision just as she wants.

I haven't watched Kunon yet (on my list to check out), but the Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife has an independently living blind lady as the FL. It's interesting how her disability is handled pretty straightforwardly, otherwise it's a very sweet romance story so far.

Bath owl in stained glass window

Bath owl in stained glass window

This is the barn owl stained glass window in St Thomasโ€™s Church at Harty on the Isle of Sheppey. Sure did hear those last night in the moments when I drifted in and out of sleep! #NightInAChurch #Sheppey #WinterSolstice

A pile of stickers of a Mari Lwyd with a pink headdress lined with light pink hearts and a pretty floral head circlet with "PINK PONY CLWB" written over it in bold white letters.

Sorry for the random reply, but I saw this elsewhere and it reminded me of your account

Currently watching Trigun Stampede - 1st time I've ever rewatched an episode just to better hear the soundtrack (Ep3, originally watched it on a noisy train). Really beautiful music โค๏ธ Not 100% taken with the 3DCG animation style but the piano scenes are ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

That's very dedicated of you! I've bought a few volumes (mixture of 2nd hand and new) but there's so many I'll be a while to get a full set. I'll still get 45 when it comes out but I'm too impatient to wait lol.

I'm kinda scared to start One Piece (anime) as there's so many episodes to get through.

I caught up to ch. 273. I don't know what to do with my life any more. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ All I can do is wait until 5th Nov for the next emotional trauma to be inflicted. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ That last twist with Hak was devastating. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I always thought it was just me! I drive an estate, and SUVs with HID headlights not aligned properly means I get them pointed straight in my eyes. Trains have to have HID headlight alignment checked so they don't blind trackside workers, IMO alignment checks should be added to the MOT for cars.

Books arrived yesterday and already starting volume 3 lolololol... Love discovering the slight differences between the manga and anime - manga dialogue definitely edges it but I'm glad I saw the anime 1st as it makes it a lot easier to follow the fight scenes.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

You only give Greater Anglia 5/10 but don't list any bad points about their service, I don't understand the mediocre score. What would constitute a 8/10 service for you?

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

I have never said stop protesting.

My Mum sent me an unsolicited message this morning saying she sympathises with Gaza but she thinks the protesters are loathsome (and worse words) and condemns them for protesting on the same day as the attack. You've lost her and I don't know how many others. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Every death is a tragedy, whether it's two people or two hundred thousand. You don't get my point - there have been protests every week for over a year, it's not news any more. Delaying the protest by a day could have won more support than the negative press from continuing, and you'd still protest.

Sure, but why not encourage more British Jews to join you as well? Jews who may have Israeli relatives. Better to be together in this. Suffering is not zero sum, I don't think we should say their suffering is not great enough to be acknowledged and show sympathy for 1 day, which is how this looks.

My point is that there's no need to hand them stuff on a silver platter. Unless you are advocating for another country to invade Israel, the only surefire way to stop this is for Israelis to get rid of Netanyahu. Holding the protests yesterday will most likely entrench views against you.
