    Carpet was such a bad choice.
    We abandoned the whole idea of carpet when we moved here. Tiled floors downstairs, wooden floors upstairs, underfloor heating throughout. 
    The dog still manages to pee on the rug when she feels disinclined to go out in the rain. :)

    Do you know what he ate?
    My wife reckons she saw him eat something outside the neighbour's house while she was walking him the day before. It's odd though because he never picks up random stuff to eat like that. Could have been something left over from Halloween or dropped out of their recycling as that was collected the same day but who knows. Last time it happened was years ago and he drank out of a muddy puddle.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Well for both your sakes I hope he's got rid of it all now.

    He seems fine this morning. If he keeps up with it he might be released from wipe clean room jail later.

    And they always pick the best rugs to evacuate messily on. Bill, in his early days with us, preferred the ridiculously expensive cream wool gabbeh - the cheapo, washable rug by the door was disdained. At least he has taste, I suppose.

    Careful @Allotment Boy . Mention of c*ts or bre*sh*t is an egregious breach of etiquette on this thread.😊

    Just bought a new microwave. It came with an instruction book about a quarter of an inch thick.
    "That's alright," says I. "It's  probably in six different languages."
     it isn't. It's all in English😵
    I've set the time and stuck bits of cloth under the feet to stop it from sliding off the counter when i open the door. That's enough for today. I will mostly use it for cooking frozen peas so I'll probably stop when I get to the how to cook peas bit.

    People who facetime in a public place should be shot!
    But those who think it acceptable to facetime in a hospital ward should be lobbed from the nearest window then hung , drawn and quartered.

    doubly curmudgeonly after finding an upside down, hollowed out hedgehog. Reckon it was a badger.
