My favourite vape juice has a horrendous cap too, it's bad enough to make me need a ciggy!

They never used to be this bad. I wondered about just taking a screwdriver and scissors to the whole cap and then using a cap from an old bottle but then I remembered my last free cap was used to replace another cap that broke when I was trying to lever the inner cap out.

Save all the caps you can, seriously. You'll need them.
 
The people who drive big cars. Then park these cars directly outside the shop instead of 5 steps away in the actual car park. They then shove the kids in the backseat floating around and drive off. Do they think the big car will protect the kids that aren't in car seats when they crash?
 
Someone was stabbed literally 15 houses away from mine this week! Not something you expect to happen on your doorstep. What is this world coming to. 😭
In my home town there was someone who killed his own father and himself. They were living not too far way from us. Take measures to protect yourself. I hope the criminal was caught.
 
I saw someone in Tesco's today and she started talking to me about how she had to take her cat to the boarders and complaining that it was costing her £22 per day. I said that was more expensive than my guinea pig boarder who charges £5 per night. She said that cats were much harder to look after than guinea pigs cos all you needed to do was "feed them and throw grass at them". I said that there was quite a bit more to looking after guinea pigs than that. She replied "I used to have 2 guinea pigs and so I know what it takes to look after them." I just didn't say anything and walked away.

Speechless @Betsy - those of us that had guinea pigs 25 years ago have done research to make sure the piggies ( any pets I have) have the best of care …always

Some people really don't have a clue,do they? I think I would have done the same.
 
A minor grumble.

Occasionally I buy cider. Usually Thatchers, Westons or Cornish Rattler, in glass bottles. It's a nice treat, especially if they're on offer. Except last time, Asda substituted a few bottles and I kept them because it's nice to try something new, but the Westons Organic is as disappointing as it gets. Totally not worth buying deliberately, lol. Sigh.

So I opened the second substitute bottle tonight and I'm pleased to say that this bottle, Aspall Draught Cyder, is much, much better.
 
We are going to the Philippines next week to visit my family. I haven't been there since 2019. But yesterday hubby has to cancel his flight and I'll fly on my own. Because of Bryce. He is still not eating by himself, only ocassionally. Hubby doesn't want to leave him with the boarders and let them deal with him. We both would just be worrying about him all the time if that's the case. He said at least with him here with Bryce, he can deal with everything.

I'm worried how hubby would cope with all the cleaning of their cage and play area. I have a bit of an extensive way to do it, but he said he knows he can do it better and quicker than I do! 🙄 Anyway, I'm worried about him ending up struggling as well because of his arthritis. He keeps on saying he'll be perfectly fine dealing with everything. I guess I just have to leave him notes and instructions on how things are done, along with the washing and dealing with the rubbish and recycling, etc. I do all that you see. He also has to take Bryce alone to the vets next week for his dental.

I have never travelled alone since I arrived to the UK exactly 13 yrs ago today. So I'm a bit wary about everything. I even cried last night thinking about it and me leaving hubby. I got so used of us being together all the time. 😭
 
A military medal winner on X having a rant about the poppy, I don't want to fall out with anyone, I do think he has a point, I think the poppy should be left alone, it symbolises remembrance whatever the gender or sexual orientation, I don't care what their sexual orientation was, they made the ultimate sacrifice, and that is what should be remembered. 👍

Ah I'm sorry to read that your husband is not coming with you anyra.dris - devotion to lovely Bryce I completely understand
You can do this, knowing that your husband will do everything and it’ll stop you worrying too much about Bryce
It be good for you to see your family and I’m sure you’ll have a lovely time
It is daunting but you can do this ❤️
 
Fireworks!
My neighbour thinks they could be the reason Duck is not happy as they were going off all last week when I was away. This afternoon I coaxed him to the middle of his cage, he's frightened of the back. This evening he was walking backwards and forwards nervously but moving, some idiots have been letting very loud fireworks off up and down the road. Duck is now cowering in the corner again. We also apparently had a very loud (house vibrating) illegal rave on Saturday evening ending Sunday 10am. Not a good time of year for a piggy to have a melt down.
