Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

Mood - today was lots of irritating, frustrating little things. Not Pirate obvs but his pensive face matches mine.

The weird sexualised pup/puppy play skeets are creeping me out.

Pirate - sometimes in photos he doesn't look that big. He is actually rather large & eats & drinks a lot. 😂

He's slowing down a lot more now he's 11 but he's such a wonderful, life enhancing dog.

When i had the "bright" idea of trying to make Pirate wear waterproofs. He was goodnatured enough to get into them once...

This peace prize biz is making me chuckle. Going to have to think up some institutions & corporates who may be interesting choices for peace prizes.

Been down a very enjoyable rabbit hole. Couldn't sleep - got intrigued by names for moons & remembered a lyric from The Waterboys
🎶I saw a crescent/you saw the whole of the moon

Ended up listening to the Best of the Waterboys album. Just brilliant & took me back to some wonderful times.

BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff.

Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%.

Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance.

Hard-won rights eroded as corporations rule without ever being elected.

Back to Victorian times.

48 hour party dog event for my darling Pirate's 11th birthday. So many treats & his favourite foods & pressies.
Pirate is a rescue boy - from info fellow sib rescuers & i found (4 others were also in rescue) we discovered his big litter (11) had a rough start.

I am amused that he was passed out next to the loo as though he'd vommed & collapsed.
If he was late to his shift at the Rite Aid the next morning as well then this racoon is literally me on a snowy night in 1997
