Forgot to post this of Grumpy yesterday:

@TinyHouse4Life @thatguyoverthere I’d been toying with the idea for a bit, partly because of his experience, and thought “Sod it, I’ll have a go”. This is a lot quicker than I remember his being, though!

@TinyHouse4Life I went for a “we do all the hard work” kit, but I’m still surprised!

Shrooms!

@thatguyoverthere But then think how nice it will be to come back into the warm house afterwards!

Rain, out of this sky:

It’s a beautiful day, but a very lazy wind, as my island-raised Guide leader would have said.

Let’s see how this goes….

White oyster mushrooms.

@thatguyoverthere Again? I thought you’d learnt that lesson!

@thatguyoverthere I was initially alarmed that I’d not heard about this, but having done a bit of reading I think it’s been rumbling along for a few years now, and I already opted out of it.

@thatguyoverthere It’s pretty scary.

Worrying.

Did one of our regular, circular walks the other way around today (avoiding another dog), and topography be damned it was uphill the entire bloody way.

@thatguyoverthere @sim Iirc, they called the ship The David Attenborough but did use the name for one of its submersibles.

I did too much sewing today, and my god I hate it when my wrists go “ping” when I’m using a knife and fork.

@Twig George.

@stingray @thatguyoverthere Well, now we know.

Bizarre.

Umm. Any ideas?

@thatguyoverthere Oh my. That’s unfortunate.

Theatre set design?

Wtf, Sweden?

It is difficult to overstate how serious Sweden’s disarray has become. Kristersson says it is ‘terrorist-like’. On 30 August the country was rocked by four explosions in the space of one hour. In 2022 there were 90 bombings and 101 attempted bombings. This year, up to 15 August, there had been 109 bombings. Is anyone else wondering why there are any bombings in this once peaceful, happy land? There were 391 shootings in 2022, 62 of them fatal, a rise from 45 fatal shootings in 2021. Guns are everywhere. Social services in the small city of Örebro say guns are now so easy to come by that most of the ‘at-risk’ youths they work with could probably get hold of one in a day.

There are now so many grenade attacks in Sweden that it’s the only country outside of Mexico that keeps a record of them.
