their black eyes and stripey tail always make me think of the McDonald's burglar, presumably he has a name but I have no idea, that is why they look shifty

On our way home from a family wedding and am now well stocked up on Wookey Hole cheddar after a pit stop at the House of Bruar food Hall
I had to get away from the royal wankfest - can’t bloody bear the lot of them.
Thankfully no street party near me that I know of. And if anyone had asked me to clear my drive so kids could play on it I’d have been turning the sprinklers on. Not that I’d need to as it is pissing down here.

Wrong thread @Captainmouse we don’t want to see that face round here!
Tunnel dog has better hair than I do
I'm really enjoying the Welsh. For context my grans family were native Gaelic speakers and I've always wanted to learn it except I'm rubbish at it. To be fair some languages have a bit of crossover and others are phonetic so they are easier for me anyway. Gaelic might as well be klingon to me right now. I'll go back to it at some point.
My mum made the aubergine pasta recipe from Miguel's vegan book and had it for dinner last night and she made enough for her lunch today and she was like I've just had pasta with Miguel sauce for lunch (that was funny). She was raving about it though.
Anyway we identified another 3 recipes she could make from ingredients she had and that's what you want really. To be able to make meals without loads of fuss.
He's got a recipe for spring onion noodles so that's my dinner sorted. I'm not a bad cook, I've just got out of the habit of cooking from scratch and I need to get back to it.
Still astonished at how good the Leek and potato samosas were particularly as I could not get filo pastry and had to use other pastry and I thought it would ruin them
I love going to gigs alone, so much easier not having to worry about losing whoever you are with and having to try and find them in the chaos at the end. I only like a couple of Muse's songs really but was actually tempted to book tickets as they are supposed to be amazing liveI'm actually really enjoying duolingo. For context my mum speaks a lot of languages fluently. She was a language teacher and she's excellent at languages.
I did French German and Spanish at school but I shouldn't have. I was never good enough to do anything with them and if I had been sensible and chosen easier Highers I might have got to uni two years before I did.
My grans family were native gaelic speakers and my mum gave me a gaelic book a couple of weeks ago so off I hopped to duolingo.
So far I am better at French,German, Welsh, Spanish,Dutch and Russian than I am at Gaelic
Czech is hard too. I'm actually better at Latin than I am at Gaelic and I never did Latin in school. In short I'm tit at Gaelic
Miguel kind of falls under people you shouldn't fancy but you do. Same as Matt Bellamy. I'm off to see Muse in a couple of weeks and I honestly can't wait. I'll be screaming like a lunatic (there's a reason I go to gigs on my own)
My mum has just phoned me to tell me she made Miguel's aubergine pasta and she really liked it.
They are fantastic live. I don't think they are playing Scotland on this tour and I don't think they played Scotland on the last tour either. I've had to travel the last twice I've seen them.
I was going to try and get tickets for the London gigs but they are playing the Isle of Wight festival after Lionel Ritchie dropped out.
Hope you’re still in Jersey and having a glorious time @Froggies. A mate sent me this and I of course though of you/your avi

having seen cats scaring off bears this is all the more hilarious
Those hands are like something from a horror film though!!
Grunking but
most of my STEM lecturers despise exams, feel they prove nothing but how good someone’s memory recall is, and in The Real World of STEM, we’re allowed not to forget things and need to look them up, etc.As I have ADHD, I appreciate this, but they cannot get the momentum to scrap the end of year exams, or make them smaller, or weighted less.
I’ve never got less than a First in any lab reports, STEM writing, client reports, case studies, etc. Exams? Low 2:1 if I’m lucky, most likely a Mid 2:2. Drags my overall grade down and pisses me off, gives no indication of my actual ability/depth and breadth of my knowledge.
Plus, I’m mid 30s and a single mother, not Straight Outta Sixth Form with nobody else to think of.
ETA - first year exams were 24 hour, MCQs. Simple and done within the usual 2 hours. Second year exams were a mix of MCQs and 1000 word essays (2-3 per module (out of a choice of 5 questions) 6 modules).
I don’t know how I’d crank out 3000 words in 3 hours by hand - dyspraxic so can’t write neatly for tit, the second year exams this year were allowed 4 double sided pages of notes in to help the transition.
Not sure what third year were like as I split the year in half because I was
unwell with Actual Long Covid, was meant to do them this year but again, tit happened and I’ve had defer.

They really are tiny lions
We introduced pupbo to my mum and dads cat this weekend. You could almost see the cat roll his eyes when we entered. Several hisses later and they’re good pals now.
Awww cats are great, love it when animals just get in with each other. Us humans could learn a lot.
I've been thinking about you and your street party. I posted a comment on another thread about it sounding like a festival rather than a street party. Something that had got out of all control. I hope you are ok love.Morning.
Thank you all for being so understanding, it means so, so much. When the TEN ended we went out and checked and the organiser (who is lovely but naive) was clearing up pretty well and everyone was going into town. I am just going on a glass sweep now.
Mrs T got chased by a raccoon when she went running on a really early run in NY on a school trip. The kids thought it was hilarious obviously. Her, not so much. Honey badgers are immense for their moods.
Tunnel dog in a pub (v. rare occurrence). Because every day has felt like Saturday (sung to Morrissey), I think we can have facturday today too.

A neighbour has a new cat and it's become obsessed with my dog. I'm not sure whether the cat wants to be friends or eat my dog for breakfast.....
Does anyone else feel given the build up the jubilee has been a bit meh?
I watched the parade thing and I found the celebs on the buses a bit random, you’d of thought they’d of at least got a Spice Girl on the 90s bus.
My mum thinks that could be the last time we see The Queen she said it felt like a one last look type goodbye.
I wonder how many times Louis has been bollocked off Kate this weekend?
