I am watching the first episode of Miranda. I am nearly in tears.

Clipper's football game today was on the grounds of a slightly posh private school. The team must either be made up of old boys, or current parents maybe.
When I parked my car in the school car park it was between a lovely Porsche and a rather decent Citroen. A change from the usual football car parks

Goat clipped on long chain hooked onto tow bar of car and busily chomping on the rough grass on a very long unkempt wide berm.

Husband’s birthday is coming up.. I asked him what he’d like.. I’m thinking down romantic ideas. He replied ‘fish fertilizer’!!

Is that fertilizer made of fish or something you'd use to fertilize fish?

Made of fish (guts etc … what’s left after cleaning for canning)

It actually doesn’t stink up the whole yard.. aroma ( not super stinky at all) disappears very quickly… maybe less than an hour.

The way I'm obsessively cleaning the fingerprints off my new laptop, when I know I'll eventually give up and it will be just as grubby as all my other laptops have been.

In my teens, I lived near a farm that used a fish fertiliser every summer, and for about 48 hours, the stench was horrific--luckily there was usually a breeze to blow the worst away.

I read about those puzzles at one point in the past -- you're right, that is exactly the sort of thing I go for.
Not quite those but adjacent: I do online jigsaw puzzles that you can do with your own photo, so I use weird things I've screenshotted from the internet.

We joked about getting a dog bed for the foxes who sleep on our lawn, then said, nah, they'd never use it.
I have a raised veggie bed that gets a bit more sun, and every other day for the past couple of weeks, a fox has been curled up to sleep in it. Pads around in circles just like a dog. wondering if i need to put a dog bed next to it, to try and save the potatoes I planted there.

Just gave my cat the cat toy with catnip in it and watched her lose her mind for about 4 minutes.

Oh for fuggs sake. For that amount of money I can get madrange ham, gruyere, cornichons, dijon mustard and baguette and feed all of you a fabulous ham and cheese. That's an insult.

Everyone keeps giving me candy and pastries for Admin Profs day. I guess all those pants I bought in smaller sizes that are too big are going to be getting another try.

would it be rude to send an email round highlighting pottery supply places that do gift cards?

Article in the New York Times about a guy who lives in the woods in Seattle and wanted to build an outbuilding to have his design studio, but also wouldn't it be fun if the design studio were on rails and he could walk into the studio from the house and then drive the studio like a cute little train to the other side of the yard. For $375,000.
