Sodding 6Music news bulletin playing a clip of Cass, saying children have been confused by 'people at the extremes' and that people 'in the centre' are silent on the issue. Well, I'm in the centre and I'd quite like Hilary Cass, a woman definitely at the extremes, to fuck all the way off.

#FMSPAD 14/2 A heart: Mine was already broken before I opened the packet. The damage was irreparable, but I gave it a good send off as part of my breakfast #FMS_Heart26

#FMSPAD 15/2 A weekend vibe: Just chillin' with my Holmes #FMS_Weekend26

It's Mandatory Monday and AI is clearly the future. mandatoryrollercoaster.com/post/8081046...

After several weeks of living with a building site in the room next door, it suddenly started looking a lot like an actual kitchen today. None of this is useable yet, but light is beginning to shine at the end of the tunnel

#FMSPAD 13/2 Something tasty: It's a mite tricky to do justice to #ItalianFoodDay with only a microwave, but it's hard to go wrong on #CheddarDay #FMS_Tasty26

#FMSPAD 10/2 Together: United with their new owner. Today I gave my old table (with these, its legs) to someone who will hopefully look after it better than I did #FMS_Together26

VIEWER'S COMPETITION SHORTLIST: we're posting two fave #ceefauxviewerscompetition entries each weekday and will count up the most likes/comments/reshares in 24 hours. 8/20 by @holmesaa.bsky.social

#FMSPAD 12/2 What I see right now: I don't know what fresh hell this is, but it seems likely to prolong the kitchen works even further #FMS_WhatISee26

#FMSPAD 1/2 Part of my routine: Still storing things in my shed which when the kitchen isn't being redone would be in the house #FMS_Routine26

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

#FMSPAD 9/2 A favourite song: "I wish it could be Christmas every day." The builders have been mysteriously absent the last few days, so we still don't have the space to take the decorations down and put them away #FMS_Song26

#FMSPAD 8/2 On the ground: The legs of the new tower units in my low-ceilinged kitchen were too long, even at their shortest setting, to either be attached when vertical or to allow the units to be lifted to vertical after attachment. So a little creative destruction was required #FMS_Ground26

#FMSPAD 6/2 This made me smile: Our late arrival at the quiz last night means that it's the first time we get to add an extra decoration to the already over burdened wooden spoon #FMS_Smile26

#FMSPAD 7/2 What I'm reading: Only round 5 and onwards, as we didn't know that the start time had changed so arrived an hour late. We did get 4 of the 6 "Winter" singers right though, despite never having heard of any of them #FMS_Reading26

#FMSPAD 1/2 Something I shared: Our bed at night, but theirs during the day (and quite often at night with us too) #FMS_Shared26

#FMSPAD 3/2 Handwritten words: It's the best place to scrawl reminders of issues to raise with the builder, as I don't have to scrabble to find the scrap of paper I would have used otherwise #FMS_Handwritten26

#FMSPAD 30/1 A goal I'm working on: Only a couple of days left to catch up on, but I can finally move the February rows up to the right numbers #FMS_Goal25

#FMSPAD 5/2 My outfit today: For some reason, my cycling gloves don't seem to be getting any less ratty #FMS_Outfit26

#FMSPAD 31/1 A fruit: Celebrating #ChocolateFondueDay and #WorldNutellaDay, although this was just Nutella and Greek yoghurt with a tiny bit of dark chocolate melted in, as I hadn't properly prepared #FMS_Fruit26

Hang on, we need to bribe them for crap we don't want to see? Does this mean I can charge them £10k to stop me sh1tting on their doorstep?🤔

#FMSPAD 4/2 Someone I love: despite his latest terrible behaviour today on this bed #FMS_SomeoneILove26

#FMSPAD 29/1 A moment of joy: Units were delivered later than planned today, so no installation yet, but I'm looking forward to an accompaniment of thuds and bangs through the wall while I work tomorrow. (There is more hiding around the corners, and only half has even arrived yet) #FMS_Joy26

#FMSPAD 2/2 Something pink #FMS_Pink26

#FMSPAD 27/1 Something tiny: For want of a wale, the kitchen was lost. I had thought that the old dishwasher was sometimes leaking around the door seal, but it turns out it was coming out of the top, which also explained the buckled worktop which was above it #FMS_Tiny26

#FMSPAD 22/1 A snack: Today's little outing made me look forward more keenly to whenever it will be that I have an oven again. Shouldn't be too much longer now #FMS_Snack26

Here is a better angle of this sign. I originally received this from a friend, but it came from the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

#FMSPAD 28/1 The sky today: (actually yesterday) Only slightly threatening; I did have to ride through one massive puddle, but otherwise stayed quite dry #FMS_SkyToday26

#FMSPAD 25/1 A favourite thing: My shed is currently full of the new downstairs toilet and associated items, so Huw is playing host to Elvis until it's all installed in the house #FMS_FaveThing26

#FMSPAD 26/1 In the kitchen: Progress! A couple more layers of the floor have been added since this, and what should be the final one is going on tomorrow, so four weeks after the entire contents, plaster and the old floor were ripped out, installation should finally begin on Tuesday #FMS_Kitchen26

#FMSPAD 23/1 Looking down: A different angle on the poor little no longer tall tree #FMS_Down26

#FMSPAD 20/1 My reflection: Pretty sure I've posted something like this before, and it wasn't Worth much then either #FMS_Reflection26

#FMSPAD 24/1 A plant: A much loved huge tree in the village which was sadly brought down by the storm a couple of weeks ago #FMS_Plant26

#FMSPAD 19/1 My desk: The prize and trophy for my quiz on Friday. First time after a long renovation of the hall, so all answers before the break could precede "break" and all those after the break could follow it. I ran out of time to compile a picture round of gapped teeth though #FMS_MyDesk26

#FMSPAD 18/1 Today's vibe: Relaxing while the builders are away for the weekend #FMS_Vibe26

#FMSPAD 15/1 In my hand: Woo, recycling! #FMS_InMyHand26

#FMSPAD 14/1 What made me smile: This was obviously taken last month, but still raises a smirk #FMS_MadeMeSmile26

She’s a THC-cup.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over. In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Also, people who use alt text and DON’T ACTUALLY DESCRIBE WHAT’S IN THE PICTURE get in the fucking bin. You made a joke that requires the picture and then you just reiterate the joke in the alt text without saying what the image shows. It’s okay to forget sometimes, but just don’t be a cunt

It me!

#FMSPAD 21/1 A little chaos: Not the maddest cabling I've ever seen, but since taking this photo, the several redundant ones have been removed, and the rest have been more sensibly attached #FMS_Chaos26

I am physically attracted to everything that has ever happened so far. I'm a heretosexual

#FMSPAD 17/1 Something soft: Bendy basket #FMS_Soft26

#FMSPAD 16/1 A corner of my home: This was the state of the kitchen for a while, but after a bit of delay, the other wall and most of the other remaining areas were plastered today #FMS_MyHome26

As usual, I completely failed to see any sign of the aurora in the sky last night, despite everyone I know somehow being blessed by its awesome majesty
