Yes, we're really grateful for that. I suppose they're used to it a bit by now. 🙄

It was a bit! The ones going off on the beach (to our right) were bigger though, the pitch dark garden looked like it does at mid-day in summer.

I know. It's the one time of the years that it's a complete pain in the hole having that green space right next to us. Yes, thankfully it's chucking it down now and all is quiet. Letty is asleep in her chair and Glinda has come out and is sitting between us on the sofa.

Since fireworks are literally exploding over our roof, we're also lucky that our dog doesn't care about fireworks. She was off her baps on morphine the first night she spent with us - Halloween 2014.

Her 'fuck this' bed Is used for extended bad weather, a lot of people/loud men in the house/builders and occasionally, post vet visit.
Now that I think of it, I wish I had one.

The babies! Letty's first night with us was Halloween night and she was off her baps on sedation and painkillers. The world was literally exploding around her and she didn't caaaaaare. While I wouldn't recommend that method, she's never cared since then.
Glinda's in her 'fuck this' bed under our bed

I presume the 'Andrew, formerly known as Prince' gags have already begun?
How about 'persona non garter'?
I hope that Mr Mountbatten Windsor has been despatched to a different Sandringham Estate: a crumbling tower block full of squatting djs, their 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧s echoing like the tell - tale heart.

Although, points off for it not making any sense. I don't mean in a "ooh fuck, that's not possible" way, just in the regular way.
I mean, whatever it is, it can do crafts, it can't be *that* evil. Also corporeal because you'd need hands for that.
Answers on a wooly hat to the usual address.

Tis the season, I've just rewatched The Blair Witch Project for the first time in years.
I thought it was crap the first time but it is creepier than I remember. But I did have a laugh at Heather's sort of anti-Oscar speech: "I'd like to apologise to Josh's Mom, and Mike's mom. And my mom..."

Excellent poster on Liberty Hall this evening.

At training today hosted by the Bar of Ireland - I never realised the Ashling Hotel has a plaque noting the whole 7 months that Wittgenstein lived and worked in that building.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PRACTICE YOUR 1970S DISCO STRUT ON THE MILITARY FIRING RANGE.

A sign - in Dorset - that says 'MILITARY FIRING RANGE', with a red line struck through somebody in big-heeled shoes who looks like he might be in a 1976 episode of the TV show Soul Train. In the distance, if you look hard, you can just make out a hat that I have dropped.

She actually hates getting her nails clipped and gets shaky but never snappy. In fairness that was because a nurse hurt her quite badly and made her bleed a lot, so not that unexpected!
I didn't like that nurse either (I worked with her). Fortunately she didn't ever do my nails 🤣

😍 She loves everyone*, she's such a little love grenade. She's had some awful medical stuff done early in life but she loves the vet and never freaks out. Maybe it's because I worked there so it's not a strange place, but I think it's mostly her.

She does not like men, young or old, in hats.

Well, a woman who sleeps wherever she damn pleases. She's learned bad things from Glinda, who is now sleeping - inconveniently - on top of the laundry basket. Letty wouldn't fit there, but I'm betting she's tried at least once.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 3d

She really is, she's so great at the vets. She's even sleeping in her memory foam bed now. Her wrecked puppy bed (the one she gets gloomy about when I take it away for a couple of hours to wash it) is in the bed under my desk.
But who am I kidding? She mostly sleeps on the art deco sofa and armchair

Her bloods are fine, just a pre-winter pain relief check up.

Trish @unknownquantities.bsky.social · 3d

Letty is happy to be back home after being happy to be in the car after being happy to be at the vets - where she saw her auntie Sinead. She hadn't seen her since she was a pup but ran to her and rolled over for belly rubs.
She happily displayed her neck for bloods and then had a boat load of treats

Who the fuck is Harry Skies?

Shit hotel wall art reading "she walks in beauty like the night of cloudless climes and Harry Skies"

Presumably it's more romantic in the original German?

I was looking up the Cliff Richard Wuthering Heights and found some clips. I laughed so hard I cried and have not stopped laughing. A clip. I really tried not to laugh. The boat remains a mystery.
