I like to think that the reason for the delay to his own proof of life announcement is because theyβre doing Weekend at Bernieβs type preparations

Did you see the turret guns go into action? If not, then that's not the Director's cut.

Postman delivered a condolences card from our vet practice today. Hand written with lovely words from both the head vet and the vet who has looked after both our cats since they were 8 weeks old (over 19 years). I've not read it fully yet as it made me cry. So lovely of them. π’

The problem with no longer having any cats is that the neighbourhood pigeons are getting braver. I've just had to sneak up on one myself to scare it off! To be fair, I got very close...my cats would have been proud of me.

No Sheila's Wheels, I'm not going to renew my car insurance with you. Since I've had two ombudsman complaints upheld against you and you've tried to put up my renewal by Β£200, strangely enough, I'm going elsewhere for cheaper than my current policy with you!

I deleted my Substack: a decision which might well fuck up my financial security/book sales/various other things but I've decided it's the right decision & I'm sticking with it. My newsletter now goes out via Ghost & you can subscribe to it for as little as as Β£10 a year: the-villager.ghost.io

Up and down, a day of trying to have a normal family day, which has been kinda successful. It's only when we got back that I realised he wouldn't be waiting for us again. Hope you are well

Sadmin and sad tasks day... Found a possible life insurance policy, so chasing that up, every penny will help pay for the horrendous care costs... Plus trying to arrange to get Grandma's house on the market. Also need to bury my cat in the garden. I'll be glad when today is done.
