Funnily enough, I can't afford £1,872 diagnostics. Apparently it'll take this long to get the bumper off and start testing things. So I've taken it home. It now has under 1 mile of range! My local non-Renault garage may be able to recover it once they dig the truck out of the snow. Then, who knows!

I blame you entirely for my shopping decisions today @handhyorkshire.bsky.social & @yorksbylines.bsky.social

(Well, it's my brother's cat, but thank you! My own is more sensible and refined!)

Is this, or is this not, the finest kitten ever?

This little one had a poorly leg last week after something (the neighbour's cat?) bit her as she was trying to get in the cat flap. A week of antibiotic-wrestling later and she's all better! 🥰

I've just finished reading The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff & Jonathan Haidt. It was recommended to me by PC Reed after he wrote his "Thank you" article following the Rotherham riots. I've since recommended it to everyone I've spoken to, particularly fellow parents of Gen Zs!

19 years ago today, the NHS (Tom Carroll and the Skull Base Group at Sheffield Hallamshire Hospital) saved my life. Just 4 days earlier the team at the Jessop Wing had saved this little one's life too. We will be forever grateful 🙏

This meme is causing considerable disquiet. Our @bylinesnetwork.bsky.social account shared it to make a political point, in a comical way. But the original image, wherever it's from, used AI art, and that's upset a lot of people.

This little one has a poorly paw. She's limping and wants lots of cuddles (still wanted to share my bath though)!

Hopefully better in the morning or we'll be visiting the vet 🤫
