Right, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Oh, that's just BRILLIANT!!!
Love it! 
One of the characters I'm currently working with is based on an ex. I don't kill him off, but I do leave him with a couple of nasty surprises... Revenge is a dish best served cold and all that...

Cats fed. Felix AGAIL with cod.
I'm going to look in the fridge in a bit and see what wants using before it develops language skills.

My grandson read his school book to me while he was on a trampoline. It was a tad disjointed, due to the jumping up & down, but he knew all the words easily apart from Ploughman and Masonry. Not too bad for a 7yr old.. 👍

Supper consisted of tartiflette, roast butternut squash, tomato & avocado salad and a sausage roll.
That's all the leftovers eaten.

I’m still unsure about whether it is duck tape or duct tape. The internet seems to think both. Repair done this morning and still in place, Hebe Jr still struggling to eat anything with more structural integrity than jelly though
Anyway. I collected my negs because I was too impatient to wait until tomorrow when I’ll contact print them.

I collected a chest bought earlier this week for £30 on eBay (both ends open up). It's an antique and both bigger and heavier than I expected, being solid wood plus metal brackets - the hinges are decorative:
It's for son no. 2 when he goes to university
Just needs some polish on the top.
Now we have to find somewhere to keep it until September.

Yeah, likewise. 
You'd pay way more than that buying something similar new, and it won't be as well made. Plus it gives something a new lease of life. That's why I love buying vintage / antique, whether that's furniture or bling.

I borrowed some books from the library earlier and the librarian was insistent that she set me up with a login for their new website. I've been having a look and not sure how it really benefits me although I suppose I can now extend the loan time on a book if necessary.
If it works the same as our library, you can reserve books, too.

Got myself a Canon BJC-6500. Cost a fortune when I bought it years ago at auction.My Canon S900 printer is still going strong after 20 years...Can't get OEM inks for it anymore, but there's this place on Amazon that does a compatible set of six cartridges for £7
Dusty, and oily fingerprints when bought. Took the plastic casing off and cleaned it, rinsed the waste felts. Three long soaks, with use of a "rolling pin" in between. £2 and still going, print heads are getting hard to find though.

I bought mine new...
I'd had HP printers up until then because I could get them heavily discounted through the Brunel Uni computer science dept, but they only ever seemed to last a couple of years.

Oh, a question for the mundaners on this side of the pond...
Is it an ice cream soda or an ice cream float?
I know both terms refer to more or less the same thing, but given I've not had / bought one in 40 years (bleurgh, far too much sugar!) I'm not sure which is the right one for UK usage or whether they're interchangeable.
Also, I should add that I'm in the part of the story set in 1989.
