Halloween is near! It's time to post this marvellous articulated Roman skeleton, presumably meant to be a reminder to enjoy life to the fullest, since pleasure ends irrevocably with death.
In Petronius’ Satyricon, the host of a dinner party brings out a small skeleton with moveable...🧵1/2

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

I am wishing my life away, hoping I make it to retirement reasonably healthy enough to enjoy it.

Yeah, I think I am the wrong kind of hot though.

It's okay, I manage fine with the lighter duvet, hot flushes aren't really a thing for me, I just run a bit hotter in general. The winter duvet was just too much.

I used to have my winter duvet on all year round. But now I am perimenopausal I have the summer duvet on all year round.

And then it turns out they still live with their mum, so you know it's now them changing those sheets anyway.

Yes. I hate that. I also realised that the app I am on offers a lot of "suggested" answers. And so many people use them! Lost count of the guys I have seen who say "clean sheets" is one of their small luxuries.

I mean honestly, who knows? I have become a terrible spelling snob on the apps.

A reminder that this is really good, and you should watch it. Or don't, it makes no odds to me. But it's there if you want it.

I'm enjoying Film Club, a new BBC Three comedy-drama written by Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davis, with a cast including Wood, Suranne Jones and a before-he-was-famous Owen Cooper. A warm, touching, likeable show, it starts on 7th October.

Capricorn: Use the upcoming time change to reflect on the passing of years, or to pretend you're in a really ponderous, low-budget sci-fi movie.
