Remember:

For everything that one person finds to be Easy another person somewhere else on the planet finds doing the exact same thing Incredibly Difficult through no fault of their own.

@Faintdreams I can do scrambled eggs, for me they're Easy, but toast is Incredibly Difficult. I noticed it was the other way around for a lot of people I've cooked breakfast with.

There's an old British saying, "rain before seven, fine before eleven," which is about to be put severely to the test.

Yellow rain warning for !

I feel pretty happy when writing.

Not happy about my writing. It's execrable. But I enjoy the process of discovery.

Remember the exams I sat 10 weeks ago that I was really nervous about?

Well, finally got the results today!

…and I failed them both…

@DJDarren Oh no.

Do you at least know which areas to improve in?

Just got back from an emergency vet appointment as this little one started throwing up 🩸

He's 10 so we were trying to prepare ourselves for the worst but thankfully the vet thinks it's just reflux. Hopefully antacid will do the trick! 🤞

What a morning! 😩

@Claydisarray I am sorry for your good boy and his middle-aged-man digestive issues.

Good morning champions!

I’m finally seeing a physiotherapist about my dodgy knee this morning, 18 months after I first hurt it, and about a month after it really stopped giving me gyp.

So, yay?

Supermouse,
@Supermouse@mendeddrum.org avatar

@DJDarren In my experience, physiotherapists do magic (as long as you do the work).

I hope you have the same experience with yours!

Just been idly scrolling Ali Express, looking for weird shit, and wouldn’t you know that I’ve found the ugliest shoes ever made.

They’re like veiny blue alien footcocks.

Supermouse,
@Supermouse@mendeddrum.org avatar

@DJDarren @girlabtvillage I want those shoes.

Or I would if they were comfortable to wear.

They look bouncy. And they're not grey, white or beige.

Imagine asking someone "keeping fit?" while they're jogging?

Like, wtf else would I be doing..?? :ablobdizzy:

@Claydisarray It works as a treatment for constipation.

If you carry a part-full jar of cream with you, you can make fresh butter.

You could be chasing a very slow runaway dog.

Best self-care advice I ever read:

Shouldn’t have sat down with my book before making dinner, because it’s dreary and rainy out and the lights haven’t come on yet, and the clock is ticking…tick…tick…tick…tick, and now I just want to nap for a few days.

Wait - if Scrunchies are back does that mean we are entering another Era of 'Big Hair' ?

How does one even achieve 'Big hair' if one has Caucasian or 'naturally' Straight Hair without using copious amounts of hair spray?

@Faintdreams Back combing.

It's horrible, but it's how everyone I knew in the 1980s did it.

My manager complaining this morning that he paid £300 in NI this month but can’t get a GP appointment, and how he’d rather pay that £300 into a private health provider.

And you know what, that’s a reasonable view.

But as I pointed out to him; if he and everyone else in his tax bracket took the same decision, that would be significantly less in the pot for those who can’t afford private healthcare.

Supermouse,

@DJDarren If everyone did it, we'd have the American situation where it now costs £1500 a month and good luck getting anything covered.

I've just realised that 'being tied to someone's apron strings' makes sense when you're a very young child and baby-reins aren't a thing that yet exists.

However, I can find no actual origin, just an assertion that aprons represent domestic work or symbolise femininity.

Supermouse,
@Supermouse@mendeddrum.org avatar

@anathema_device I know that, i'm talking about the actual origins of the saying. How did the saying come to be? Who thought of it and why? Why 'tied to them'? Were very young children ever actually tied to real apron strings?

Having one of those days where I’m reading some toots but the words aren’t going to the right places in my head, so I’m not comprehending them at all.

It’s mostly political ones, so I’m taking it to mean that my brain just doesn’t give a shit.

The weather is super extra loud outside right now.

Bright flash of lightning woke me up, then hail, now there's howling wind and rain lashing at the window like this is a radio play.
