It's approaching 104 weeks, or 2 years, since I began my weekly 20 decades for the priests and seminarians on twitter. In fact, I believe the Monday that marks 2 years is the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, and nine days away from the feast of St John Vianney.
Coming off a 12 hour night shift when my last break was 0430, even though I had soup at that time, by 0800 I'm always SO hungry. Like the kind of hungry you feel when you were already hungry but then swam laps while hungry.
Even after covid and lockdowns etc etc some people STILL don't cover their mouths when they cough. Thanks for spitting on me, random guy at the train station... 😅🙄
Google news keeps bringing up "urgent updates" that Royal Mail isn't delivering on the bank holiday, whenever a bank holiday occurs. Usually a day or two after said holiday.
1. it's too late - Monday May 25 is past now.
2. it's hardly an urgent update. 😅 It's not even news.
Happy 19 years of being Catholic to me. Today 19 years ago I was baptised, confirmed and received my first communion.
Usually I celebrate this day somehow, but for today I'm just doing laundry, taking out garbage, and hanging out with my cat.
@Matt_Pinner Six. Slept in a tent. Been (cross country) skiing. Swam in the ocean. Been stung by a bee. Changed a diaper. And currently living in another country 😅
@IdMarkEgo@tazdedub@lady_valor_07 I'm a millennial. My grandparents kept lots of old stuff though so I've used their rotary phone (when I was younger), and I had to send/receive a fax once (I don't remember what for but I remember using a shop fax machine and needing guidance to do it 😅).
@lady_valor_07 Done all except for number 3, unless you count playing on a fake typewriter as a child. I am counting to listening to records with parents and grandparents lol.
Apparently the HC3 certificate for help with health care costs entitles me to pay £43.74 for a voucher towards glasses... And the voucher is worth £42.00 according to my optician. So umm.. what is the point of this HC3 thing then? 🤔 Maybe the dental portion proves more useful?
At Edinburgh Zoo, Gentoo penguins are starting their breeding season.
Kids from Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity painted pebbles for the penguins to present to their mates and can watch the birds choose their favorite via livestream.

@Ips_cali A lot of them. A lot of offices and small premises tucked into that building. It's been there since 1851... Gone in an evening. Nothing lasts forever, I guess.
