Nearly two weeks of catsitting coming up, missing thought bubble, going to sub to Ntlive@home and watch a play a day!

What’s that Ozzy? You haven’t been fed in a week so I need to get up immediately at 3:30am?

Pied bleu mushrooms is the answer

Zoe brought back some "blue mushrooms" from the food larder, said to look them up and we could work out what to cook with them. Discovered could be one of several blue mushrooms. I've never seen them in supermarkets (and these were from a supermarket...) Argh

"I don't know about that" is not an interview-ending statement, not when Trump does it, and not when Johnson does it.

I’ll be at the Bedford Central Library from Noon, and then at the Close Encounters comic shop from 1pm. @davestokes.bsky.social & @rachaelsmith.bsky.social β€˜s presence will bring along a crowd.

I missed you guys too, saw all the cosplayers heading there and had a stab of jealousy. Funny that catsitting removed me from both big cons this autumn!

Away from home. Veering wildly between not sleeping and sleeping too much.

More football players should wear the long sleeved shirts. Sadly think this is one reason I like Woltemade

There is a friend with a spare key but I didn't have her details. And yeah, not leaving without phone and key in future

Which is that I can throw myself over a fence with some ingenuity and despite my height and weight

Aaaaargh. I didn't have my phone. I learned an important lesson

That would have done my head in! Presumably it got sorted.

I'm catsitting for 5 cats and mine was 6am, in the rain, with no shoes on. And was also yesterday.

Day 3 catsitting, thinking what I have learned about myself so far. 1. I'm a great problem solver, 2. I cannot do the most basic shit and I give up so easily. 3. Still can't sleep (though this was worst night so far). Today get to really stess-test work so prob just stressed

Day 2 catsitting. Don't Ask.

Cats all ok though. Learned new things about my ability to problem solved.

I can't help my soft feelings for Tyne & Wear teams because I lived there for 13 years (between Newcastle and Sunderland .. so I like both)

Wake Up Dead Man was great. Frankenstein exhibit was way more impressive than I expected.

Rando on D4 grouped with me and boosted me to 60 (I was 59, but it was appreciated as now I can get on with work!)

Contemplating starting work early or playing some Diablo because being awake sucks. Probably game till 4am then work.
