    Suddenly I don't feel so bad about people finding out I used to work in IT. (No, I will not fix your computer. Oh, alright, just this once.) Imagine having to live with people discovering you work in medicine!

    I suck as a nurse. Tried administering subcutaneous fluids. Ended up spraying myself & the room with Hartmann's solution. Jacky, fortunately, was not so much traumatised as impatient for dinner. Think I may need some pro tips from nurse @tregeagle. #cats

    #DLW can sleep quite soundly under a ceiling fan at full speed. I don't know how she isn't plagued by dreams about fleeing from the rooftop of the US embassy in Saigon.

    @kat With rising "production values" #TV has developed a phobia for dialogue (not to mention humour). If you can't say it with alternating blue and orange saturated colour palettes, meaningful facial expressions and explosions, it doesn't get to air.

    A classic. I recorded it off the telly in the 80s and wore the tape out.

    @kat Don't miss the unfairly maligned #TV series. It came after the radio, LP, novelisation, towel, etc. and is IMHO the most polished version. Apart from the low budget and lacklustre direction. But oh! The "computer" animation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbWAwynNf-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuumnjJWFO4 #H2G2

    Started one of those multi-page online job application forms where you rapidly suspect "hey, I'm on step 11 of 73, aren't I?" Then, no kidding, a batch of questions followed by file upload fields, prefaced with: "Video interviews are a great opportunity to demonstrate your personality and ability to build a connection. Share with us a video response for the following questions."

    Was mis-dispensed some drugs at the chemist just now. Instead of Endep (antidepressant) I nearly left with Endone (heroin). Lady ringing it up before error was noticed asked "You've had these before?" "Oh, yes. Knock you about a bit at first, but you get used to them." Must have thought I was a master of understatement.

    Followed rapidly by another ride to the creek bank in the shoebox ambulance, this time by a juvenile blue tongued lizard. Jacky may need to come indoors. #cats

    Jack caught a snake. Just a tree snake of some kind, but not a little one. Impressive work for an old man who's supposed to be on his last legs. I dropped it down by the creek in the long grass, a bit mangled and in shock (the snake, I mean). At least if it expires there something else will be along to eat it, which is not what the snake might have hoped for, but more dignified than the rubbish bin. #cats

    Fighting the urge to nap as the mercury nudges 30℃ already this morning. As a sweet little old lady I used to work with once said under similar conditions, "no wonder Indians are so lazy." Easy to forget Prince Phillip wasn't always so extraordinary.

    Had this lined up for tinsel holiday viewing, but only got round to it today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpSrT7jVb0 Blubbed through most of it. Punk solidarity. So lovely. #SexPistols

    #TV informs me there's such a thing as a "revenge body". As in "you broke up with me, now look how sexy I am!" Um, okay, good luck with that. Personally, I sport an "unprovoked attack body". Nobody did anything to deserve having to look at it, yet here I am.

    Stephen Fry is perfect for reading Harry Potter or P.G. Wodehouse, but I really don't think he could do justice to Zaphod Beeblebrox because well, Zaphod, he's just this guy, you know? https://boingboing.net/2018/01/02/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the.html #H2G2

    Noticing #BoingBoing has a lot of stories lately linking to paywalled articles (eg. Financial Times). The next gen of advertorial?

    There's a compellingly sick grandeur to #Trump which could be called Shakespearean, if only a convincing case could be made that (say) King Lear was always a complete and utter s**t.

    It would be fitting if the most vacuous #US presidency in living memory could be driven to self-destruct by a book which by all accounts should have been titled "More Heat Than Light". #Trump
