A friend growls about a man who has displeased her: “I hope all his hazel catkins fall off”
It’s the first Bonfire Night since she came back. Not taking any chances - all cats under house arrest until Monday at the earliest. Stay tuned for scenes of curtain climbing and vengeful hissing.

Farewell to the Pink Pugsley - half pint cocktail of Malibu, grenadine, and strawberry milkshake. Some fantastic nights on that dancefloor. Thank you for your service.

It’s extraordinary how a new technology we didn’t even have a decade ago is now requiring a whole vast shadow economy of power plants and water cooling as if these things were living cities. Why has every country and government just allowed this?
it’s important to eat a lot of sweeties at this time of year we must remind ourselves that even though the darkness has come and all plant life is dying we are ALIVE ALIVE ALIVE and full of sugar
Ah, the infamous James Joyce Court, famous for handing down long sentences
Went to see Daniel Kitson last night and he was complaining about sports journalists waxing poetic. “Either grow a pair and write a novel or shut up and give me the scores!” WAS HE TALKING ABOUT MY NEW-FOUND FRIEND BARNEY?!
Fretful Porpentine@bcky.bsky.social · last wk.I don’t often read sports journalism. Perhaps I should.

It’s very foggy. I hope we don’t accidentally drive into an alternative dimension.
