Bi Poly Liberal. Bad influence. Whovian (6). Chair LGBT+LibDems & Lib Dem FCCer. I like big beards & I cannot lie. She/her.
For some unknown reason I am all rage and fury today.
I am therefore trying not to engage with things that make me angry.
This is very very very difficult, especially when there are incompetent people and/or malicious people who are having direct impacts on stuff that I need to get done...
Doing kitchen stuff was a really good plan, though. I am not having a great brain day, and I always forget how much cooking helps till I go do it.
Have done work stuff for today and it's a while till daughter gets home, so decided to prep lasagne for tea so it can just be chucked in the oven at a salient moment. I had bol left over from yesterday, so that bit was easy.
Accidentally made slightly too much cheese sauce, but not quite enough for it to be human-useful. I now have two happy doggies.
I have a spot right in the very centre of my chin. In case anyone was wondering.
OK, the new #Mastodon admin only instance is now live at https://tootmin.network
If you're an instance admin, please drop me an email at invites@tootmin.network with your instance URL and username, I'll then review and get you an invite.
Please boost this toot, as the Tootmin Network will give us admins a place to collaborate and discuss Mastodon administration away from our respective instances.
Thanks!
This week's Weekly Food Challenge is live (and it's one I hope people really get into the spirit of)

I have now, finally, finished that bastard windows update on ALL the machines I am personally responsible for.
Now for booze.
* utters the traditional cry *
Oh God, not NOW Windows Update!"
... but too late to ward off the horror.
Ok, here's a weird one:
Every time I put my Gear Fit 2 on its little charge stand thing, Spotify opens on my phone (Note 8).
Now the gear fit CAN open apps on my phone (specifically its own settings app) but why Spotify? And why when it starts charging?
This doesn't particularly cause me any hardship but it's puzzling.
I mean, I could try to sleep. I really could.
... but there's SO many episodes of Taskmaster with Nish Kumar in on UKTVplay
Have now played through @GoreMcSpace 's Aye Fair Lady.
Obvs Dick Spangle's song is the best bit.
Ave Maria starts playing and @miss_s_b says "Ey up, Mary!", having translated it into Yorkshire.
Blindingly obvious dream metaphor time:
In my dream I am walking the dogs. Spike sees a rat, and chases it. It goes up a drainpipe. I briefly consider truth of the "rat up a drainpipe" aphorism, then notice that the drainpipe leads into a chamber type thing with a lid on it that I can easily lift. I lift the lid. Inside the chamber is a large male tortoiseshell cat, surrounded by dozens of rats and mice and voles and other rodents. There's a even a hamster. They are bringing him food and massaging him with their little front paws and smoothing his fur and otherwise treating him like a king.
The cat looks at me with contempt.

I have a provisional answer, but also further questions about this YouGov survey question...
TFW people remind you of the existence of smug hypocrite Jamie Oliver and you get all grumpy.
It's okay if you didn't get it all done today.
Roxy has psychically divined that I wish to stand up (to go to the loo) and has leapt into my lap to pin me down. This might be an issue...
TFW you solve a mystery!
Daughter has a set of small hand weights in her bedroom. A bit ago she complained that one of them had gone missing.
Today I was in her room connecting her telly to the new router, and messing with the remaining hand weight as I did it. Spike was VERY interested, and eventually took it off me, and carried out to the dog bed and buried it. When I went to look in the dog bed I found the other one.
Spike thinks hand weights are toys. Bless his little hairy brain.
