Worse still that we've not used this bath since moving in

 

There's a worry...

 

A bath every year, whether he needs it or not...

 

A delivery from Hermes, nowt special (Sharpe box set, Croc Dundee 1 & 2 and Capt. Marvel) but delivered on time, undamaged and by a polite driver.

 

100% agree pet insurance is amazing, we had a similar situation with encephalitis causing seizures for our chihuahua, however, our claim is likely to be almost 9-10x that bill (currently about 9k since September)!

General vets fees, then neurological specialists, spinal taps, medications, MRI(s) and sedation costs, resuscitation and CRP costs (when the sedation for the 2nd MRI - didn't go well and she actually died for a couple of minutes). Multiple rounds of ultrasounds as they wont put her under again, almost a week of in-patient care with IV pain relief due to damage caused by manual CRP on a >3kg dog. We still have physio and hydrotherapy to come and that's £60+ a session.

All covered and our excess was £60 +£20 admin fee for the specialist vets to deal with insurance company directly.

 

Either the driver is a new hire, or it's a good time to buy a Lotto ticket!

 

We have a 17-19 old cat (rescue, so who knows when she was born). We have been paying out hundred's a year for her for most of her life but she only had a few teeth out. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

 

Our regular Hermes driver is called Steven, who likes the gym and swimming in his free time.

Steven is cool

 

Just heard about Lastpass planning to start charging for multiple categories of device (Free version will lock to mobile OR desktop), so exported to Bitwarden.
The export/import process is quick & simple thanks to ELI5-level instructions from Bitwarden.

 

I am no longer tethered to the desk's 12v output!



I've got a micro voltage converter outputting the necessary to the bluetooth controller, I've got a USB-C charging board, and when the battery arrives I'll have a 5000mAh Lipo to connect to it and be able to put it all in the gnatty little pocket I made in the lining just for this purpose. I ran it here off the charging doodad using my Anker powerbank, which worked nicely.

...Now I need to stop faffing around and finish the "zipper" that's full of magnets, reprint a few pieces and attach them, and finish off the wiring before I can start working out in what order to start sewing this beast into one item of clothing.

 

You appear to have a phone stuck to your face...

 

I'm a man posting something analogous to a picture of himself on the internet - I was given to understand this was the norm!

 

Yes - because if anyone can actually see your face, they might, for example, realise that you aren't a dog. Nice work on the 'lectrics in the jacket.

 

Application sift apparently took place today, have been invited to interview the first week of March.

*gulp*

 

Parents got dose 1 of the vaccine today.

Bit odd, found through a Facebook post the number to call and they did them the next day. They're over 65 but hadn't received a letter or sms, just someone in the centre posting on Facebook. I couldn't care if the Australian government is bought and paid for by Murdoch really, but do feel Facebook as official line of communication is a bit grim. Still trying to focus on their impending improving immunity rather than the collapse of society.

 

First Covid jab next Thursday and, the wife has already had her's.

 

Godspeed, hopefully it doesn't hit the pair of you hard.
