  • Definitely not the main characters, but I'd love to hang out with Artemis.

  • UK - Only had one kid come and had lots of treats. My own kids went out and got quite a haul, but most people had left bowls out so they didn't knock on many doors (they know only to go to decorated houses).

    For the last few years, there seem to be more people decorating and putting treats out than there are kids going out. Plus our weather has been shit.

  • I'm a woman in my 40s who is probably autistic, but back then I was the wrong demographic and "too well behaved" to even consider diagnosis. I'm a typical example people think of when thinking about under diagnosis.

    On the other hand, I work with people who have severe learning disabilities who also evaded diagnosis, or were diagnosed well into adulthood as diagnosis is difficult in someone so impaired. In another time, they would have been labelled with a grossly offensive term and just left. Better treatment of disabled people is probably another reason we see rising rates of diagnosis.

  • Your Dino looks like my Lionel! Such handsome fellas.

  • Me too. Thought he'd make at least 102. Weirdly shocked that a 76 year old died.

  • Me heading to the plans I made when I was slightly less fatigued.

  • Ah, only seem it once.

  • Well this took a turn.

  • I haven't finished this one yet, do we'll see.

    I'm guessing you mean the first trilogy (apologies if I'm mistaken), as the First Law universe continues for 6 more books after that (plus a collection of short stories). After the Last Argument of Kings, there are 3 "stand alone" novels, which are the strongest, in my opinion, and then a second trilogy, which is excellent.

    I believe there are more books planned for that universe, but The Devils is separate. The others I haven't read as they're Young Adult, so they probably have cheerier endings.

    Were you to read on, you'd probably find some joy for characters you like, but I think unhappy endings outweigh the happy ones. Of course, I could be mistaken and you've read all 9, because the ending of the last can definitely be described as devastating too!

  • The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. It's set in a fantasy medieval Europe. Unfortunately, its not long out and is the first of a series, so I'll have to wait for the rest.

  • I have this on audiobook and it's brilliant.

  • Not sure if this has been said already, but win + m collapses all open windows.

  • All these are good (although I never saw the end of The Office), but I'm chaotic evil. IASIP is my all time favourite US sitcom (Peep Show being my favourite UK sitcom).

  • My orange cat had curled up next to my four year old kid this morning. The kid rolled over in his sleep, snuggled into the cat like a teddy, and he just accepted it.

    My other cat is the cat in the meme though, even though she is the one who chooses to sleep on top of me.

  • Raises hand tentatively...

    Although I do feel I'm learning stuff from being on here.

  • I have a little fold-out rack with (I think) 24 individual clips on that hold socks and other small items. It can then be attached to the washing line, taking up a lot less space than hanging things along the length of it.

    It was £3.99 and it makes putting the washing out so much easier. I much prefer to line dry things outside than using the dryer when I can.

  • The Winds of Winter being released. Surely its coming any day now...

    But for real, the youngest is going to school in September so I will have an extra day off in the week with no work and no kids.

  • We went for the annual vet visit last week. Our orange cat was already asleep in his carrier, so I just put the door on and carried him to the car. He hasn't slept in there since though!

  • Watched Titanic at the cinema when it came out. I was still very tearful at school the next day and my friends were mocking me about being sad at how the romance ended (no spoilers!) But really it was thinking about how all those people lost their lives and it really happened. That mom and the kids in steerage...
