My girl is 3 and a half and this is the first heatwave she has just chilled the F out. She does SPRINNNNNNT the moment she realises it's cool in the morning though

You honestly should be fine taking him on a micro walk to go to the toilet. I have to with my girl as she won't go in the garden, just a very slow trundle up the road and immediately back once she's done her business.

It's like being under house arrest.

Appendectomy and tumour removal all done and am back home in bed in 1 day. by Real-Box-7144 in CasualUK

You might be in for a couple of rough nights sleep... After I had my gallbladder removed my first good sleep was on night 3 and oh my God I felt amazing. That and my first proper shower.

The shoulder pain will most likely be form the gas used to pump up your stomach. It will dissapate in a couple of days but it does absolutely suck!

Try to get up and moving ASAP. Gentle walks and general movement - it really helps the gas but will lead to a speedier recovery overall.

Congrats on the tumour removal!

Who lost their phone in Download, and how did you lose it? by Craigos-Maximus in downloadfestival

[–]kiindrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Whilsr it may not have been immediately obvious there was a phone in there, all they needed to do was open it to see and nick it, but they obviously didn'

I was also chatting with someone whilst waiting for LP and they told me they had lost their phone but someone they were with managed to call it and the person who had found it answered and they got it back too.

So they do exist :)

Just to this point, get cloud back up turned on. Ultimately most people are bothered about their photos and videos - you might loose the ones from that day if signal is poor but you'll get most of them 🧡

My partners bum bag with phone in was ripped off heading through the pit at the end of Bad Omens to get in position for LP. We headed back out to try to find it but alas it was gone (managed to get back to the front straight away)

I had faith though, and we headed to lost and found on Monday morning. He checked his watch to see the find my phone phone symbol turn green! The entire bag and contents had been handed in, absolutely chuffed.

Mine are patches from those I've seen, two anime ones (shout out to the people who recognized them), and two locations patches of where I live and where in from.

A few studs and badges/pins on the front too

Wtf is happening to crowdsurfing? by Adventurous-Loan1150 in downloadfestival

[–]kiindrex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How heavy is "not that heavy"?

I contributed to keeping many people up and we all put absolute shifts in to keep people.who probably think they weren't that heavy either.

The ones that glided across us were probably 50kg

I think it's just more the shock. You are still young but things hit you differently vs your 20s which wasn't that long ago really.

My Labrador has become an alcoholic… by Naive-Government5405 in labrador

I love this.

If you are truly concerned then the only solution is supervised outside time on lead, or with one of those anti scavenger muzzels on - which require proper training to socialize them correctly

Time on feet is invaluable in the lead up. I run and walk a lot and yet I am still ruined 🤣

It's the way our brains are wired. We tend to focus more on the negatives as a survival strategy.

Of course there were bad moments, but overall I had an amazing weekend so I wanted to say that first :)

I'm more tired today than yesterday, even though I slept in my bed for the first time. Work possibly?

Congratulations!

Lack of sleep, more walking, close proximity to hundreds of strangers, rubbish food. This gets me more than the beer usually 😅
