The Bull is rising from its too-long slumber!
Its network of shining horns extends to sunder
All the inefficiencies that were
Too long mistaken for the souls of us.

Thanks all and sorry for delayed reply - she's doing call handling for the DWP pension line. Not exciting, but also not stressful. Easy money, work from home. Has caused some challenges as I am also primary WFH so we've had to set up so that we don't cause data issues but it's been kind of fun working that out.

Related: I am finally in a position to finance a gaming/streaming PC, just need to make sure I have the £250 deposit Overclockers want and then I can pull the trigger on it. Means my home office (which is already kind of stupid) will need a rejig but that's half the fun for me tbh!

I'm glad she can do this. Lunch time walks will be fun.

The first true shock of the Rugby World Cup as Fiji beat the Aussies

[Tsundoku]

Huh, the shock here is how few of us were shocked. More like "Pessimism confirmed".

The Wobblies have been shite for years. Now they're just more shite.
Rugby Union is almost gone in this country these days, hardly anyone watches it. There's supporting your team when you know they are trying, but the half-arsed performances they are putting in doesn't deserve my eye time.

Well, finally having surgery tomorrow! Wish me luck!

COVID Drugs Are a Miracle Cure for Cats

[...] feline infectious peritonitis, or FIP, that is almost 100 percent fatal left untreated. FIP is caused by a coronavirus that infects cats but not humans. (It is related to but distinct from SARS-CoV-2.) The disease can fester in small, indoor outbreaks, but it had never raced across an entire island [before ...]

[...] The two coronaviruses share enough similarities that COVID antivirals are also effective against FIP—in fact, they are downright miracle cures. “It’s like bringing these cats back from the dead,”

Bummed now. I’m having problems swallowing so I need to stay in the hospital an extra day to make sure I don’t choke to death…

Wow you're not kidding they've been trounced by the Welsh tonight!

"Trounced" is putting it far too kindly.
