My sweet little weirdo loves fireworks. He's watching them and loudpurring. In previous years he has actually meowed in an apparent request for me to turn them back on, when they stop... 🎆

Thank you @drjameschums.bsky.social! Turns out it's this option. I had seen that but assumed it was about standard valence as default, so thought I wanted it on. I did not!

Oh dear, Peeriodicals is down. Sadly, we've had great difficulty posting to our Peeriodical for months, all support requests receiving radio silence. I'm wondering whether it's dead for good – has anyone heard? peeriodicals.com

The most English thing has just happened to me
A nice man has left me a load of jam and stuff and a note asking whether he can pick my quinces (probably not a euphemism)

Today I met a cat called Sara, which is the most wtf name I've ever heard for a cat
(At the Gothenburg cat café - so if you live round here you could adopt little Sara!)

As I suspected! While putting in yet another Delay Repay claim, I have learned that Macclesfield is in the bottom 3% of railway station performance in the UK. :(
That's over the past 12 weeks – at least at the times I've travelled, performance was very noticeably worse in the past!

Ok #viewFromMyHotelRoom scores 1/10 this time for being a car park. I suspect there might still be construction(?) to the south so my "quiet room" request led me to the less pretty side. But it's always a great pleasure and joy to be in Mölndal! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🙌🙌🙌🥳

Should have posted this while I was still there for maximum effect, but here's an example of #Duolingo being creepy again. I got this sentence to translate just a couple of days after I... arrived in China for the first time

Love how with the perspective and brightness it looks like I've photoshopped a giant child onto this picture I took in Hefei 😅😂
(Yeah so I wasn't taking photos of people's kids... she just ran up the hill as I was capturing it I guess)

Really very tempted to reply, asking exactly what it was about my work in "cell research" that was so inspiring
(I wouldn't have a clue what to do with cells if you gave me the most robust and wonderful cell line on the planet.)
