Hello. I am adopting a cat with extra needs and I'm trying to raise money to get him to me and for some tests and possible medication that he needs before and after. Should anyone feel like throwing a quid or two into the kitty (so to speak).

A cat stretched out on the floor with all fours up. His head is black but from the neck down he is a kind of dirty brownish/tortie/black type. He promises to be quite a kooky lad.

Had a very rubbish day after a rubbish, sleepless night and when I came home, I had two dinners (missed lunch), lied down to watch a Julie Andrews picture (VICTOR/VICTORIA) and had two pieces of a chocolate cakey thing. I'm loaded up on ibuprofen and will be in Xanax City tonight.

That's distressing.

Oh bum. He was good fun on old old old Twitter.

The account here that I got excited about setting up a couple of months ago that immediately got loads of engagement has not been touched in 28 days, which is not long after the password was changed so I could no longer access it. There is so much to promote and chat about. So dejecting.

Thank you.

Yesterday my etsy shop had preciously one view. (And i think that was probably me) If you like my stuff please repost. An eccentric millionaire with lots of empty wall space could be scrolling your timeline right now. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/listing/1579...

One of my prints “And now we’ll abseil down the other side” Shows a mountain that’s actually a monster with abseilers on top of it.

(I did enjoy the Conversefest amongst the younger of us in the wait room.)

A photo of four pairs of feet, spread round a section of the room, all wearing Converse shoes. I particularly liked the greyish/brownish ones at right.

All done and the surgeon said THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE, which is what I've been told repeatedly throughout my life, whatever the topic. Anyway. I've now had my wound GLUED, so that's me sorted.

Oh no!! Is everything ok?

CynInBelgië | she/her @cynderness.bsky.social · 19h

Unexpectedly sitting in the same smelly wait room as yesterday, while the same saddo 80s love songs play on the radio. But I made the right decision because now blood is coming through my wound onto my cute Macmillan t-shirt. (I should be adding 'look away now if squeamish' warnings to these.)

Hmm. That should have said psychological, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Bedankt. This might be normal but 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've got myself dressed and ready in case they say to come straight in.

I've had this thing inside of my chest from cancer stuff and had it removed yesterday. Hurts like a mother and I'm pretty sure my stitches have come out, so I'm waiting for an urgent call back. Lovely stuff.
(Yes, I'm the weirdo who asked to keep it because milestone/physiological reliance/etc)

A small piece of silicone medical equipment, which looks a bit like a small purple heart, with a thin blue tube coming out of it.

I followed someone on old Twitter for a while who it turned out was Barry Took's granddaughter. I don't think she ever made it over here, but she does do a very reflective type of newsletter every now and again. If you're interested in such things...

Earlier reply went wonky. A few notes from my school reports...

That is a little freaky. Also reminiscent of this for some reason...

Would anyone know what these mushrooms growing in my garden are? They’re right by an old tree stump. Not thinking of consuming them, just worried about the daft dog getting her beard around them if they’re poisonous.
