It's easy to forget, though, that the world is fucking HUGE. During seven seconds of weightlessness, people at or near the equator would rise about one metre above the surface. It'd be a problem, for sure, but nowhere near as bad as the nightmare "falling into the sky" scenario I imagined.

Our two have a cat door so they can be inside or out in our secure yard. Cinnamon, the ginger girl, loves to bring us gifts from outside, including half a broken clothes peg, an interesting stick, or a small piece of concrete.

It's the sticky-outy bit on the heel of your hand on the little finger side, furthest from the thumb. You can see why most fractures are from hitting something hard with a sports stick and having the end of the handle flick back and crack into the tip of the bone

I've never seen a single episode, but I enjoy building them. my Perfect Grade Red Frame Astray has pride of place above my gaming space. The rest of my collection is a little higher up on the wall.

My boyfriend building his first ever Gundam model a week after his fiftieth birthday. Us old guys with our shitty eyesight need all the help we can get.

You forgot about all the cat pics.

A ginger cat snoozes on a blue sky with sun shining on her. The sun is passing through a gauze curtain, covering her and the bed with stripes.

A still from the X-Files, in which Clyde Bruckman says casually over his shoulder to Fox Mulder "You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified one than autoerotic asphyxiation."

Well, if you put it that way...

Foggy night in Melbourne last night. We don't often get an evening mist like this - we much more often get a foggy morning - so I felt it warranted some photos...

Sadly that was close to the end of her life. She went off to chase little winged mice around kitty heaven in February 2025 aged 18. We grieved a while and then adopted these two cuties.

I lay down on the bed to share those last two photos, and Cinnamon decided to get comfortable on my back.

I'm glad Cinnamon and Aniseed haven't grown out of their resting concern face and resting grumpy face. They're fully grown up now and they still have those distinctive eye shapes.
