Trip to the vet with my older cat this morning. Incredibly expensive - £30 in pet #uber to get there and back, £85 to pay for blood tests even though I pay out £50 a month in pet insurance fees. Vet looking into whether my insurance will cover possible dentistry fees for tooth lesions. Poor […]

I read the Barron Trump story and thought "huh, how interesting, just goes to show these far-off politicians and their families are also ordinary humans". Read the comments below the story on Bsky:
- it's not true
- what about his dad
- why is this a story
People are funny […]

When I was a kid I really wanted to work in news journalism of some sort. Man, I am pleased I didn't go down that career path!
At least as a bystander I can opt-out of the craziness. I feel for those working on 24-hour rolling news coverage for the constant ups and downs of the stress […]
