I couldn’t even shitpost all that much, since our internet connection is coming and going again.

They think they’ve found it, finally. Two messed up wires in fact. Fixing it will involve cutting down the major part of a tree and putting up a whole new pole.

I have a feeling it will be a while.

Sorry to think this way but… I’ve seen things.

Somehow that picture of Charlotte on your lap reminds me of this passage:

“I never shall forget the indulgence with which he treated Hodge, his cat: for whom he himself used to go out and buy oysters, lest the servants having that trouble should take a dislike to the poor creature. I am, unluckily, one of those who have an antipathy to a cat, so that I am uneasy when in the room with one; and I own, I frequently suffered a good deal from the presence of this same Hodge. I recollect him one day scrambling up Dr. Johnson’s breast, apparently with much satisfaction, while my friend smiling and half-whistling, rubbed down his back, and pulled him by the tail; and when I observed he was a fine cat, saying, “Why yes, Sir, but I have had cats whom I liked better than this;” and then as if perceiving Hodge to be out of countenance, adding, “but he is a very fine cat, a very fine cat indeed.”

From Boswell’s Life Of Johnson

See, that right there is one of the reasons that I enjoy perusing these pages.

Next – explain the fascination Britain has with women with pneumatic lips.

okay, skip that.

Here’s an interesting bit about your ‘fates’
(and if I said that wrong, blame “the Detectorists”)

I don’t suppose the modern ones look like this – but there’s a Punch and Judy photo in there.

Charlotte is a fine cat indeed. She has had adventures. I thought the late Marie Antoinette was a traveler, from Loozyana to Colorado and back . . but a transatlantic move? Wow! Marie ain’t even in it with Charlotte.
