The radio on my new car is voice controlled. So there I was this morning, driving back from the supermarket when Mistletoe and Wine by Cliff Richard came on. No problem: ‘play classic fm’ ‘I’m sorry I didn’t get that’ hmmm. ‘Play radio 4’ enunciated slowly and precisely. ‘please try again, I don’t understand you’ ugh. ‘Play scala radio’ shouted slowly and precisely. ‘please speak more loudly and clearly.’ This went on for the whole song. My new car is red. I shall be calling her Christine.
Woo!
I’ve been shadowbanned by Enron on the Blue Dodo.
Was it the cats, the cakes, the bikes or the passing interest in truth and accountability?
I’m seeing it as a badge of honour and one more very good reason to get the hell out of dodge for good.
Dina. Always dignified.
Hidey. Could be indoors in the sun on a warm bed but…

Snow is still coming and settling
We’ve got snow! We weren’t expecting it for another 5 hours or so yet. It’s early evening, due to go all night and it’s been sub zero here for days so could be thick by tomorrow.
Its December 1st. I’ve waited 10 1/2 months for this moment. Deal with it. 😛
Santa claws secret identity is revealed! #CatsOfMastodon
BTW, does anyone else always think of Londo, Vir and the Centauri from #Babylon5 whenever they see the ‘Aliens guy’ meme?
Hmm, posting on my phone seems to have unblocked posting on my iPad!
Dina tha cat was just sitting in front of my TV watching #startrekds9 but, being a typical #CatsOfMastodon she turned away as soon as I pulled my phone out.
So have a shot of her butt in my face instead.
