I'm not a Londoner.

In fact, I'm not a huge fan of London; I've lived near there; I've worked around there; I've visited there; I've had more than my fair share of London.

However, Sadiq Khan is a top cunt in my book because he lives rent free in Trump's head, and that's commendable regardless of your location or affiliation really.

    He did, took him to the beach one final time in the morning, gave him all the treats he wanted, vet came round and we held him until he was gone. We pick his ashes up next week... went to the beach this morning and it felt wrong, the house feels empty. Spent this afternoon, clearing up his stuff and washing everything to put in storage... in tears the whole time.

    Got a report about this. Gen AI stuff in local comms is against the instance rules and it does scream AI to me (just look at those headphones (?) next to the pillow at the back). I'll give the benefit of the doubt here, but I'd change it as you'll get downvoted into oblivion.

    I do the 9x9 home-office in a newer concrete building. Triple-pane windows to cut down on street noise (roadway, hospital, metro, cargo rail) is so great. 24.3c and snuggly cats and dog if I need a boost.

    On Tuesday I had a vasectomy. I was allowed to sit up and watch, and it was one of the most incredibly captivating experiences of my life. The surgeon explained everything step by step, talked about why each thing was necessary etc. I was a little nervous to start with, but the moment he said "can you feel this?", while poking my scrotum with a hot needle, and the skin sizzled and split, I burst into laughter and was fine from then on.

    I'm genuinely still buzzing 2 days later, I can't recommend it enough - although I do appreciate it's not for everyone 😆

    I WFH in a small home office that used to be the coalshed for the 1960’s council house.

    We use it to dry our clothes with a dehumidifier over night (no tumble dryer) so in the morning it's nice and warm, then working in there with 3 monitors and a laptop that CHUCKS out heat, it stays toasty alllll day.

    In the summer though, it's like an oven in there.

    Top Tip: tell everyone you're going the week before.

    Manic mahem whilst you have time, quietness whilst you're still there and... the best bit... manic mahem whilst you're away when they thought you'd be back. Then, when you really are back, they'll appreciate you more.
