Anomnomnomaly

It's going to be a miserable and weepy end to the week. Tomorrow we have to say goodbye to a very good boy, the bestest of good boys. He's 13yrs old, his hips have gone and he can barely stand now, he's got cataracts and pancreatitis. He's in constant pain and his legs can give out at random, and you hear him wince in pain every time he lays down. We've even had to start feeding him by hand as he's laying down. He's lost a lot of muscle mass over the last 6 months too, and we've tried everything the vets have suggested to make him comfortable and ease the pain. Pain killers, steroids, special food and so forth... But it's time to ease his suffering and we've been agonising over the decision for weeks now.

The vet is going to come to the house and do it, less stress for our boy and he can be on his comfy bed, surround by his toys and us... and as he's not been allowed any treats for ages due to the pancreatitis and some very boring foods... His breakfast tomorrow is going to be fit for a king, I made a beef stock from some huge beef bones I got from the butchers. That's going to make a thick gravy to go with some steak and veggies.... and I've bought the best treats I can for him.

Ended up watching a movie from a few years ago called Slingshot... psychological drama set on a spaceship... kinda Meh If I'm honest.

I gave up on F1 about 8-9yrs ago... I knew when it went to sky they'd find a way to screw people over... Promised that everyone who got F1 for free would continue to do so... then offered a free upgrade and better pricing... and ripped it away without telling you... oh.. the F1 channel... that's be an extra 20 quid a month you fucking muppet.

I cancelled my sky instead, and as my partners mum still had it... used her sky go login to watch it on a PC connected to the TV... when the ripped that away too... I said Fuck F1 and never watched it again.

From what little news I've read since... I've not actually missed anything interesting.

It's raining... seriously, it's not stopped since Sunday... well, maybe a slight exaggeration... it has stopped for at least... 2-3hrs at a time... several times. But basically, it's not dried out enough anywhere for 4 days.

The flood plains have flooded... the pedestrian paths and cycleway out into the countryside may already be impassable, the river through town is rising and the reservoir overflow has been struggling to keep up, flooding the river on another flood pain before it reaches town... where it actually has to flow under buildings.

It's dark... it's grey... and it's fucking miserable.

I find myself wanting to crawl into bed at 8pm onwards... in fact it's 8:40pm now... and I'm thinking... mmmm bed and a movie (not that sort you pervs... well... depends if I can convince the other arf with an early night too)... last night it was The Fifth Element... what classic from the 80's or 90's will it be tonight.

Suggestions on a postcard too... no.. wait... comment below.

Wait... do you put bread on the outside... both sides?

Reminds me of being a kid and making a wotsit (you might need to be from the UK to know what those crisps are) sandwich with cheese spread... and the cheese spread was there to stop the wotsits falling out.

When I make a hot dog, I cut the bun open, but also hollow it out a little... this gives ample room for extras and allows you to actually 'close' the bun and avoid spillage.

He's what the world needs more of, a person who's not a racist, fascist loving piece of shit like most politicians are... like the UK currently has too much of, we need more left leaning people in power instead of the wankers we have who are in the pockets of corporations and serve their interests. We needs les of the bigoted pieces of shit grifters like reform, tory and labour and their flag shagging racist supporters.

Too many people just don't give a fuck about who they elect and follow along like good little sheep to whoever makes the most noise about the current divisive trend (trans and immigrants at the moment).

Decorating a bedroom and found water damage to the window sill... could be a leak around the frame or some old damage from a window being left open in the past allowing driving rain in. Until I get it off (today's job) and inspect underneath, I can't tell. Could be a void in the cavity allowing some condensation below the sill... Can remedy that easily enough with some gap filler expanding foam.

Ordered a nice oak board to replace it (old one was cheap MDF), and will reseal around the frame... and hope that fixes the issue. Can't finish the painting until the new board is in early next week (got a joiner friend coming to do it and the new skirting/architrave)

Then went away for 4 days from Thurs to Sun. House and dog sitting for my sister as her doggo is 13yrs old and struggling with arthritis and pancreatitis. Can't really be lifted in and out of the car, so easier for us to go there than stress him out bringing him to us. Still got to walk him down to the beach a few times and then let him sleep/rest most of the day... and as she lives in an old blacksmiths forge converted to a cottage with modern extension at the back... they rely on a wood burner for a lot of the heat this time of year, so we relaxed in front of a nice warm fire every evening with a beer and a movie.

Weather was utter shite... perfect for snuggling up on the sofa in front of the fire, but still managed to go out a couple of times... mainly to get some fresh air even thought there was heavy rain and strong winds... and stop for lunch somewhere, even if it was just for coffee and cake overlooking the sea.

A lovely relaxing end to what was turning into an annoying and expensive week... decorating rooms in this house always throws up some extra annoyances where builders or previous owners cut corners or bodged things So 30% of each DIY job is fixing the screw ups.

Hope your week was better.

Racists suspend 4 bigots after arguments break out over who's the biggest bigoted bully of them all.

I saw them live in 2003 supporting Linkin Park, when I heard about the arrest and subsequent conviction and the true horror of his crimes... I destroyed the CD's, I deleted the music from my computer.

I have never allowed their music to assault my ears again and never will.

I cannot and will not mourn such a piece of shit, and nor will I condemn the person who killed him... I'm not advocating that all paedophiles are killed, but I'm not going to be sad about a proven guilty and convicted being unalived.
