A visit to St Ives earlier with a friend revealed this topical topper.

Aaaand I have collected the cat pills that I am supposed to get down his gullet before his appointment. This has left me wondering if the prescribing vet has ever actually seen a cat, and more specifically the size of their mouth & throat?

Also the Torygraph remains hopeful of more fossil fuel exploitation as clearly the planet is not yet warming enough for the red faced, foaming mouthed loons that read it.

I am taking my usual peek at the Torygraph with hands over my eyes. So far in today's important news the Sarah Jane Smith Andy Pandy suit is back in trendy shops.

This is the "Report a Leak" page on the Cambridge Water website. How bloody useless is that? A street in my village has standing water that's been in the roadway for ~1 week. Looks like its from an underground pipe as not evaporating. We have a hosepipe ban & they want us to save water FFS!

An oldie but a goodie...

Meanwhile on Facebook @diane.dianeduane.com has another cooking challenge....

I was thinking that someone was a little too pleased with themselves when they jumped onto the bed this morning and did this. Downstairs: headless, disemboweled rabbit spread around the living room. At least I was wearing crocs when I trod in it.

Firstly it is branded as "Daisy", secondly...

I have a Breviile toastie maker that makes a single sarnie. It is moo-cow coloured and only comes out rarely. When it does, it is for cheese and marmite. Crusts left at the Leper gate.

I was wondering where Mist was hiding....

The absolute state of this. I'm lucky if I get 2 deliveries of any post ATM

Once again the Torygraph has its finger on the pulse of the nation.

Personally I'm hoping that the big storm NW of Peterborough is heading our way.

Allegedly. No sign of it here.

And on that note I will add this, which a friend shared on FB earlier.

It's still in the interactive walk through.

Thunderstorm incoming

They've all gone down the pub to watch the World Cup on the big TV, Eliza. Isn't it just blissfully quiet and relaxing? #GirlsOwnCC

That's Arthur Daley's american cousin.

I've been worrying since about 3:30 a.m. about the whereabouts of Mist, who did not come home last night. Guess who just wandered into the boudoir, flopped and went straight to sleep?

This is one of the local "man & van" companies who advertise near me.

Mine wants to say "Hi" too!

Daphne had been part of the 1876 Equestrian Olympic team, yet Horace still had the urge to explain to her what the reins were for. She would soon be making sure that he could only ride sidesaddle. #GirlsOwnCC

I am now back from an excellent lunch of fish and chips on high table, followed by a tour of the grounds by my host, an extremely distinguished emeritus fellow. He even showed me the two canons they keep trained on the dodgy neighbours.

I have come into town for lunch at a College. Inevitably I was early for the bus I planned for, which would have gotten me here 20 minutes early. I caught the one before it. I now have 40 minutes to kill, but have found a shady, uncrowded spot in tourist central.

I use Duolingo most days. If I skip a day then Duolingo icon changes and becomes angry and/or distressed. However, it seems to now be stuck in distressed mode despite me practicing daily. Is this a bug or a feature?

Something that annoys me is that the current monarch's cypher is an almost identical to how I have been signing/initialling things for decades. I mean who on earth does he think he is to nick my distictive thing? I will just have to remain satisfied that my orginal doesn't have a tacky crown.

This looks to be further incitement from her on X against the same man. The original screengrab comes from this thread and is not mine: bsky.app/profile/davi...
