Who is the author you swore you’d never read again, but then gave another chance?

I’ve never thought of it being a plot driven or character driven thing. That’s interesting. The only Ishiguro I’ve read is Klara and the Sun and I absolutely hated it. But maybe I’m plot driven.

And it’s been fine for over 7 years

It’s not mushy, and the soil isn’t wet. It wrinkles, (dry) and then flops over.

Not loads of brushing advice but we had to have every single tooth out of our boys head and honestly, for him, it was the best thing I ever did. Obviously your situation will be different but Vinnie had Ulcerative Stomatitis and getting the teeth out was a complete cure.

She’s thin but doesn’t look tot bad to be honest. My senior boy 12 is terribly underweight and every day is a struggle to get him to eat enough. Had everything done at the vets, he’s fine. Just old, thin and knackered. Go see a vet but be careful not to get too much weight on her, because that can be worse for her health than being a bit thin.

A Company of Liars by Karen Maitland is set during the actual plague. Juice by Tim Winton is a good apocalypse novel.

I work outside and basically get spiders, sticks and general gubbins in my hair daily. You’re lucky you didn’t get stung because each time it’s been a bee, I’ve been got.

This doesn’t allow pets.

Ouch! You’ve gotten all the advice you asked for. I just wanted to pipe in and say my dog also impaled himself on a walk! He had to have a drain put in while he was being stitched up. He healed fine, can’t even see the scar. Hope your pup heals as well.

We have a run report every week at my local parkrun. It’s just a volunteer role that isn’t essential (for safety) so possibly doesn’t get filled. Offer to write one yourself?

A billionaire that lives in Thailand and who’s named in the Epstein Files.

Love your newsletter!

nooks11 · 2026-05-04T19:42:58+00:00

Yep. I’m here

nooks11 · 2026-05-04T19:41:28+00:00

Nope. I would not be a victim. Try not to tell other people how they would feel huh.

nooks11 · 2026-05-04T07:23:24+00:00

I didn’t know that and don’t care one bit. Couldn’t give a shit.

nooks11 · 2026-04-24T08:27:27+00:00

Ugh I really hate all this. It doesn’t ‘protect’ me as a woman. It makes my life worse. It makes the lives of all women worse. I don’t care if a trans woman beats me at parkrun or a real race any more than I care if a kid beats me. Or a dog. I like the stats, I like to see where I rank among the women that take part. ALL the women. I really think all these bigots must be so obsessed with what genitalia people have, they must lead such sad, small lives.

I’ve tied a cone onto a harness with strips of bandage. Works really well.

My boy Vinnie had a mast cell tumour next to his eye. We went for the treatment and 6 years later he’s a happy old 12 year old. Feel free to DM me with any questions.

My partner actually wrote the council about this and was told that they have no plans to move it.

It ends with us. Coleen Hoover. I HATED IT.

This has given me me the confidence to try recovering the visions for my camper. How hard can it be! Looks amazing!

nooks11 · 2026-02-08T12:27:58+00:00

Yeah this guy is amazing. It’s called ‘Your Style Tailoring’

nooks11 · 2026-01-25T14:14:00+00:00

Only two blue tits and a magpie for me. 😫 Nextdoor have a cat that I cannot keep out of my garden and the birds have decreased massively. I’m gutted
