I just had a serious conversation with my 8 year old daughter about which would be faster, a roadrunner or a cheetah, during which I explained how it would depend on the distance of the race. LOL I love talking to kids.

Does the cheetah have Acme accessories?

Honestly I'm very grateful that for once the weather has been great throughout the current restrictions. Mrs Tiste has been able to play out with our toddler (he's 17 months old!!) and hasn't gone stir crazy.

I also recognise the privilege I have in having a garden.

Gave my kid the hosepipe this afternoon and rescinded all responsibility. Only ended up mildly soaked so I'm calling it a success. Added bonus of some going over the fence and nearly getting the neighbours who keep playing horrific early 90s dance music at loud volume.

Yeah I wish my annoying neighbours played early 90s dance music instead of the utter tripe they usually blast out...

At least your child is being exposed to the good stuff at an early age.

Bittersweet really as it was my last day in work for Lancashire and the next time I put in the uniform (calm down ladies & Morgoth) will be on the island... Love my team here so I'm sad to leave them but so excited about the next phase of our lives!

What's the low down on the house move and everything what with all the crazy?

I just spent 3 hours ALONE burning stuff in my garden. Aaahhhhhh. I only had the energy due to an afternoon nap. Double aaahhhhhh.

House move going ahead as there is no chain, the conveyancer works from a remote model anyway and the survey was done before restrictions. We have permission to move from the Manx government so we can go and we should finalise within the next month on the sale. Will be living with my parents for a bit but they have a huge house and loads of space so it should be a fairly smooth transition. We can then look at buying a place once things have eased off a bit but no pressure really.

I got a new friend that's been "joining me" past few nights I've been out burning my stumps. Can't get close to it or it'll go up a tree and stare down at me while I talk to it. Baby steps though just like with the rabbits that damn near let me get close enough to reach out and pet.

New friend is a raccoon.

Not that I would reach down to touch it but it would be cool to get it used to being in my proximity without running up the trees. And rabbits usually take off around humans in the wild it took a longgg time for me to be able to get that close. These got used to me and kinda stick close a lot of nights probably as a form of protection from owls and feral cats I guess.


...all I'm gonna say is if it climbs into your truck you might want to re consider the relationship.

Conversely, if that racoon is a witty back-talker, he could have a Guardians of the Galaxy thing going...so that's cool.

Realistically BK would more likely hack Groot to pieces then come back the next night to burn the remains while watching the stars.

Yeah, I thought so as well but I wasn't going to let him be Drax or Quill.

Maybe Taserface.
