Just me or are there aspects of influence from this painting apparent in Picasso's Guernica?

Feel a bit insane making the suggestion.

Oooh, this is exciting. Has been so lovely to hear all your updates about how things are going for you & this latest girl.

Have a beautiful time!

Sounds like my parents' kitchen. It used to be somewhat sensible, and my mother doesn't have much interest in buying stuff for it, but my father will just appear with things for her.

She's finally got him to ease off a lot lately, but he'll still try to persuade her to let him order things she doesn't need or want.

Happy Birthday vacationing!!

Cheering you on anyhow, but want to tell us about any of them?

Why nervous about the voice training?

Ouch.

Hope you are managing to get enough nutrients into yourself whilst things are so bad.

The better quality protein shakes taste nasty, but some brands have juice-based versions which can be easier to keep down.

Stuff like this makes me feel it would be cool to organise a local "stuff club", where people would bring things for others to try out.

That alone isn't going to motivate many to bother, but there could be a sell/exchange/donate facility, in lieu of using eBay or Freecycle, and so less stuff ends up in drawers unused.

Guess it could hook in with local Makerspaces, tool libraries such as Men's Sheds, or even regular libraries. If in alliance with Makerspaces, repair & modification sessions would be a cool extension.

Ostensibly harder in smaller towns & in rural areas, but with less access to lots of physical stores, perhaps more demand for it?

It has for me. Had a weird start to the year which perhaps explains it, but last year hurtled past, and am still surprised we're in the 2020s.

What kind of stuff do you have planned for the week?

Yay for comfier relaxation time, though I feel your pup is still glowering, even though you organised something suitable for ~~you~~ him. Probably just because you have the camera out, but am having fun with a little story about him ensuring his humans don't try rearranging things without his permission in future.

All the best with the eye checkup!

Similar suspicions on the low flow stuff. Feels like the plumbing at mine is developing various complaints, which are a little weird to troubleshoot, but maybe just that my energy is dire lately, so things feel harder than they would ordinarily.

Besides that, it seems some fittings have been redesigned to be more complex than they need to be.

Fantastic news.

Yay, what a great update to the story. She's gorgeous, and well bonded to you already. Happy times!
