It is interesting :
Stair dust corners are flexible, triangle-shape pieces of brass or nickel that keep dust from accumulating in stair corners. They were introduced near the end of the 19th century as a way to simplify sweeping.

@CouldBeADragon I have to say, this was possibly the most challenging game of 20 questions to play with Ellie.

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@CouldBeADragon @vivelabagatelle Ah. *Very* bad at dancing, then.

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@vivelabagatelle @CouldBeADragon Possibly you were not very good at dancing? Trod very hard on the other dancers' feet?

@CouldBeADragon Oh no, that is quite tragic! I have also been there, so very glad you've found some medication - fingers crossed it does the job

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@vivelabagatelle @Matthew_Kilburn @CouldBeADragon Sounds like your phone's onto something there!

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@CouldBeADragon I mean, she had a point.

The vet told us that James needs to lose a bit of weight. We have to stop giving him treats. I've been feeling sorry for him & giving him treats in secret. Found out my wife has too. So James has been getting more treats than ever before

Not just that. The Johnson government’s Bill is also a Service Withdrawal Bill.

It removes the statutory duty on the Health Secretary or on the new NHS Boards to provide hospital care. Yes, you read that right. No obligation to provide hospital services! -

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@CouldBeADragon Haha, my non-judgmental babysitting services are definitely available - not today sadly, as I already have plans and am a bit under the weather, but I'm sure we can sort out sometime next week?

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@CouldBeADragon Depends! Mostly I'll be lazy and do it either last minute or try and cram it in a "waiting" stage like when mixing, but if I know it's a fussy one that needs to go in the oven quickly, I'll do it upfront so I don't stress about it.

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@unnaye @CouldBeADragon @vivelabagatelle There's only room for one conspiracy to have been here all along, yep. The wars are one thing, but if anything, I have to imagine any "theological" debates to be far more painful to witness!

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@unnaye @CouldBeADragon @vivelabagatelle (you're right though, a lot less implausible!)

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@unnaye @CouldBeADragon @vivelabagatelle ...I really, really wouldn't want to see a Terra Ignota where that was the conspiracy that turned into a world power.

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@vivelabagatelle @CouldBeADragon @unnaye Thank you, that would actually be great! We can compare notes.

[Jabberwocky @ToppJabberwock]

@CouldBeADragon @unnaye @vivelabagatelle I was a bored teenager with an erratic library selection. I never saw book 1 turn up on the shelves, and I had to keep the reading pile going! I had no (okay, maybe some) other choices!
