It’s from above and he has an ottoman pushed underneath with cushions on. The hammock is suspended but he was a bit unsure at first so it helped him to get up.

Can we get this man some help. Not saying he’s not an absolute wanker - that’s a given - but isn’t anyone close to him concerned about his mental health?

He’s fallen out with the leader of the far-right Reform UK now, because, apparently that frog-faced fuck Farage does have a line in the sand (at least for appearances’ sake), and isn’t comfortable with Musk’s support for fascist thug “Tommy Robinson”.

Hopefully this means no donation (bribe) to Reform UK, but I’m sure that piece of shit will continue to try and fuck with our democracy.

Thanks for the recommendation!

This is a regular lunch for me. Leftover rice and grated cheddar microwaved, then slathered with Cholula sauce. I agree it belongs here!

Someone I know was working with a person who has a therapy dog. Apparently the dog is trained to understand when they become overwhelmed and just sit on them. It sounds like it has a similar mechanism to these techniques.

I have everything I need for a Nadja of Antipaxos costume, but I don’t think we’re going anywhere.

My girl cat slept on top of me all night. I’m now hurting from not being able to change position while sleeping. (I guess I could have moved, but she’s too sweet to disturb)

Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it’s quilted.

Stop trying to make fetch happen

I’ve been using Daylio for years.

It’s designed to track moods and the activities associated with them, but it’s adaptable, so I use it to track my headaches. It’s very easy to use and it doesn’t feel onerous to record the information.

It’s starting to get cold here, which means more cat cuddles!

She sounds wonderful, I’m so happy she found a home with you!

I would always adopt an adult rather than a kitten. We’ve had a kitten and he was hard work!

Our orange cat was 2 when we had him from the shelter. He was found on the street with cat flu. They treated this, but he was still very skinny when we adopted him, with rough fur and cracked paw pads.

We’ve had him just over a year and he gained a lot of weight at first, but now he trusts that there’s always going to be dinner for him. His fur is glossy and bright, and his paws are healthy. He’s incredibly loving, even with children, and loves sitting near us when we’re working.

I’m glad we got him. Even our other cat (also adopted, but from a friend) is slowly warming to him!

When I worked in retail, I had this wanker of a middle manager who would ask how I was getting on, and when I said fine, he’d always say “It’s not rocket science, is it?”

He was mid twenties and only a few years older than me. He used to call female employees “babe”.

One time I watched him get a withering telling off from a customer. The customer wasn’t in the right, but it felt like a little bit of retribution for all us “babes”.
