One of these websites has a self-service way to allow me to change the old email to a current one but it uses a captcha that doesn’t load, so I keep failing to prove that I am human.
Time to step away and curse me from 10 months ago who didn’t check every login before the domain expired.

I got one of those blue fly-zapping lights for the bedroom. I was thinking of putting it out on the landing as it was keeping me awake but now I’m rethinking that for obvious reasons.

Well I guess you COULD do that, you’d just need a very big electrified tennis racket as most helicopters are bigger than flies.

Which book / TV programme / game / streaming show / film are we supposed to be living through? I thought it was Handmaids Tale mixed with 1984 but it seems to be morphing into On The Beach merged with Fallout.

Julie reports Greg to HR for his sexist behaviour. Greg says that Julie seemed a bit emotional when she told him to write his own meeting notes if he wanted them. Jason (Head of HR) nods and says he’ll have a word with Julie and ask her to apologise. The complaint is ignored. Julie resigns.

Someone is after that top level domain .tv That’s worth real money, or it WAS when people actually watched television.

The poem was correct, Katharine mused. Slimy things did indeed crawl with legs. Hopefully the two of them would slip into the slimy sea and drown.

I spent ages trying to work out what this meant. If you took the coconut out of a Bounty bar you’d get a shell of chocolate with a bit of cream inside it. If you made a Milky Way smaller you could call it a Solar System.
The names chocolate bars have in different countries is important to the joke.

Umm. I am currently reading a paperback, an audio book and a book on my tablet. I’m also reading a magazine. I have a multiple “to be read” piles.

I went to the London Transport museum and they had these old tube trains like the ones that I used to ride in only a couple* of years ago. What’s that all about?

Rolf’s first experiment with his Jake the Peg costume was rather disturbing for Evadne when she found how he moved his extra leg.

What sort of crackers? Ritz? Table Water? Christmas?
What if I’ve got a bread roll instead?

I think it’s a great idea. A problem to solve before the party is up against Tiamat as they’ve run out of lesser monsters. Or they’re up against random encounter hell!

If you DON’T rip out a page, each day a random page rips itself out of the book.
You cannot leave the book anywhere or give it away, it will reappear next to you within 1 day.

Waste time and money getting costs, put together a plan and a proposal. Submit for funding. Wait
Go and do something else while waiting for hundreds of millions of dollars to be approved.

A bus that will stop outside my house when I call it and will stop where I want to go? Like the Night Bus in Harry Potter? I’m in!

A jury of women? In this day and age? Well they’d need to be allowed to vote first and we know that’s not going to happen.

Then I watered all the new plants and filled the bird bath and tidied up and then I went to have a cup of tea and I thought a little KitKat would be nice to go with that but they’d been in the fridge and I stabbed the roof of my mouth with a KitKat.
Yeah, I’m fine thanks

Of course not. Though your brother could be upset that we didn’t call him Branwell.
I only realised recently that our (extended) family was using the names of the Brontë sisters.
