This all feels very familiar…. It sounds like we were trendsetters when we had this problem a few years back. Our answer has been to keep our cat indoors, possibly not necessary now as the problem neighbour now has their own (ironically indoor) cat… #Caturday

Has your cat been gaining weight and staying out at night, only to arrive home reeking of marijuana? These are just some of the signs that a neighbour is trying to entice them away ...

Very sad - 'Ray of Light' is Madonna at her creative peak. The collaboration with Orbit was an alchemy that doesn't happen often.
William Orbit, pop producer for Madonna, All Saints and more, dies aged 69
Musician’s projects included Madonna’s Ray of Light, Blur’s 13 and All Saints’ chart-topping singles Pure Shores and Black Coffee

Trump lecturing Europe/UK/Canada/Australia/etc about labour law is like Hannibal Lector complaining about the lack of vegetarian menu items…

Listening to the remasters (The Best & the Rest of) New Order. It has occured to me that Regret is all the best of New Order in one song.

Today is our 14th Wedding Anniversary. Normally I’d have the day off, but when I was booking holiday it was uncertain if we’d have a full team and my 2IC had the day off to recover from the Metallica concert he had tickets for.

This is my proposed age verification system:
Every year the government send you a badge with legend ‘I am xxx’ on it. This badge must be worn at all times until the next one arrives.

This is the biggest lego set I’ve ever done! It’s over 4000 pieces and has 4 mechanisms. Probably not the ideal start after a big break (last set I did was the Lego Ideas 12th Doctor, Clara and TARDIS) but it was (mostly) a lot of fun! #Lego
A colorful underwater scene created with Lego building blocks, featuring various fish, anemones, coral structures, and aquatic plants within a decorated tank. The background is blue, simulating water, and the setting includes details like snails, shells and rocks on the sandy bottom.

‘Older’ by George Michael turns 30 today. In many ways this is a whole new George. The pin-up of the early 80s, the MTV-star of the late-80s and early-90s has been transformed by an incident in an LA public toilet and his masterful styling-out of the media outrage that followed it.

This fluffy reprobate came into our lives 15 years ago today. He was adopted from the local Blue Cross. He wasn’t actually the cat we’d gone to see, but when we were in the rescue centre he made a beeline towards us and absolutely demanded our attention.
A fluffy orange and white cat rests on a decorative cushion in a gray armchair. The cat has green eyes and a relaxed demeanor. A ginger and white cat sits on a table beside a vase of bluebells. The background features a sunny outdoor view through a window and bookshelves. A sleeping orange and white cat is curled up on a light gray sheet patterned with stars, with its paws tucked under its chin. A person with a bald head and glasses is taking a selfie, while a curious orange and white cat is peeking over their shoulder from behind.

Last night we finished watching The Nun. My husband then peer at his phone for a few minutes before announcing ‘Ah yes, the demon Valak is mentioned in several grimoires, I thought it sounded familiar…’
Yes, I am married to Rupert Giles…
