Nov. 6th, 2020 11:03 pmI've been following the Election Day thread(s) on MetaFilter. It feels a bit like being inside a cement mixer with the bricks, and must be much worse for actual Americans.
But it's nice to see Philadelphia having fun.

My little Sable (2.9kg, or rather less than 6.5lb, most of it fur) is improving her head/fistbump skills and it is so charming. She is also augmenting her levels of vocal demand.
She was unmoved by last night's fireworks, occasionally staring out at the sparkles in the sky, but mostly indifferent to it all. Today, though, there was a five-minute *explosion* of sparkles from next-door's garden, and she stared at that with very wide eyes, but we petted her and she did not flee.
She has been playing with a small mouse toy, leaping on it, tossing it about a bit, then running away. I tried to tempt her with the feathers-onna-fishing-line that kept Fluffy working for *hours*, but she just looks at it with incomprehension/disdain.

I finished my daughter's Christmas Jumper in time to give it to her on her Official Birthday. Thought you might like to see it. It is an unusually tasteful Christmas Jumper, I feel. Click to embiggen, I expect.

I spotted this in Sainsbury's last week. I had planned to use it as my first pic on my new Instagram account, but Instagram tells me that I cannot post pix from a desktop computer and WTF?? Screw that.
