After nearly 5 months, 14 balls of wool, and quite a lot of swearing, I am delighted to say that my Persian Tiles - Eastern Jewels blanket is complete! #crochet 💕

Daniel Craig, a lovely 3‑year‑old boy, is looking for a new home again after his reservation fell through (no fault of his own). He’s friendly, affectionate and ready to be adopted.

An accord appears to have been struck between Bing and Frank. She did nip the end of his tail shortly after I took this but not hard enough for him to run away.

Radiohead opening for The Frank and Walters. If ever there was a mismatch in future success greater than this I’d love to hear about it.

This. All of this.
Ok, so, you’re out of your mind. We had Olestra, the Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet, sodium substitutes (potassium chloride), the Ronco Rotisserie, The George Foreman Grill (fat reducing grilling machine), Slim-Fast ffs! McDonald’s replaced their fry oil with vegetable oil in the 90’s, & a bunch of other stuff:

Someone walked off during the open day with our lapel mic so I had to summon every bit of projection I’ve ever done to be heard for >300 people (aware this is an accessibility issue) - parent came up to me after and said “you’ve had voice coaching haven’t you…” why yes I have!

Based on two back to back university open days I’ve just done I’d say the entry requirements for physics, employability opportunities for physics graduates and the relative merits of physics v physics
Astrophysics.

If you got paid $70K to talk about 1 subject for 5 hours straight, what would you talk about ??

In the last two days I’ve presented to ~1000 parents and students who’ve been kind enough to visit us and spent from 10-5 for two days answering brilliant questions from fantastic young people and their grown ups. Exhausting but probably the best part of my job.

Finally found the most bullshit take on this site I’ve ever seen.

One of my favorite parts about the 90s is we just ate whatever food we wanted. Food was food. No one argued about what food was bad and what food was healthy. We just minded our business in general. At least that’s how I remember it

I bit my nails to the quick until I was in my 40s, I was utterly embarrassed by my disgusting hands. I stopped during the pandemic and rewarded myself by having regular manicures to so I could see how far I’d come. This kind of shit bores me senseless.

Ladies, if your fingernails are completely bare (no polish, acrylics, etc.) give this a “like”. My daughter is convinced that “everyone” has fake nails or a manicure and I’m the odd man out. She’s 12. 😄

Just been offered a speed awareness course in lieu of a fine and points (rightly so, I was over the limit) but given my job it is KILLING me not to ask, given I knew the direction I was heading in, whether they offer a velocity awareness course as it feels more appropriate.

His Holiness has, however, declined to take part in the Vatican World Cup Sweepstake as only Jesus saves.
Jun 10
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

A challenging morning for Frank - she was perched on the shed watching the day go by and she got properly dive bombed by a massive seagull and came belting back into the house, very discombobulated. She has had treats and fuss and is feeling more like her old self.

Ultimate silver service for Freddie! 🥄 He’s been under the weather this week & wasn't keen on taking his medication either.
Once mixed with a lick-e-lix & some delicious tuna water it was deemed ‘acceptable’...but ONLY from a spoon.
Eat directly from a dish? 😼as if😹😻🐾💜

Got home from three hours of busking yesterday in the pissing rain and there was a MASSIVE MOTH on my jeans. I panicked and flicked it into Frank’s cat bed. Within seconds she ran in from outside, ate it, then fell asleep.

POV: you go out to sing in the absolute pissing rain and the weather is *so bad* your conductor’s music melts into papier mache halfway through the Holst.
