massive bereavement

just realised I'm not going to be invited to any more swingers' parties or to any of my cuckold friend's houses for up to 18 months. A lot of marriages are going to fall apart because of this.

I think the Lancet's Richard Horton sums things up well on tonight's QuestionTime, which actually looks like it's worth watching: https://mobile.twitter.com/davemacladd/status/1243283899008106497

Eviction action suspended in England and Wales. (Cases cannot now progress through the courts.)

Anyone else noticed urban wildlife going radge of late? Presumably the animals are hungry due to lots of takeaways being shut and no-one going out and there being no food waste to litter or put in bins.

After seeing three seagulls fighting over some noodles the other day I went out yesterday and heard/saw a squirrel going mental in a near-empty bin, then saw a man sitting on a park bench feeding the pigeons and seagulls (nrrggghh) and drawing a massive flock of them all filling their boots like they'd never seen birdseed before.

Embra's urban foxes have been making some interesting/alarming noises too- not shagging, this sounds more like them aggressively screeching at each other. I assume they're fighting over what little food they can find. Lock up yer pets.

Now might be a good time to fill up your bird feeder if you're one of those nice people who look after wild birds. Just try not to feed the cuntbeaks.

Even before this Corona fad, we've been having problems with Magpies for the past few months. squawking all the time, pecking away at the pointing on the house. Never seen so many about. Put up some fat balls, and it seems to have calmed them down.

The other morning there was a dreadful cacophony of cawing and chattering on my roof. I went into the back garden and there was a murder of about 15 carrion crows flockng round, attacking a similar-sized mischief of magpies. There were feathers flying everywhere, and one of the crows was holding magpie down by the neck in the gutter over my bedroom window, pecking at it's head. After about 5 minutes of battling, both sides retreated for a bit to nearby trees, then set about each other again until eventually the crows moved on. As you say, it's probably down to the lack of discarded food waste that they usually scavenge from to feed.

Meanwhile in China...

QuoteRiot outbreaks on border bridge between Hubei and Jiangxi in China today.
the conflict starts due to police from different provinces fighting for jurisdiction on checking #COVID19
It escalates into mess riot which blocked whole bridge.

My next door neighbour is still working in a call centre. I think he volunteered because he doesn't give a shit about this virus.

From what I understand he works for a call centre that gets regular contracts. This month it is a firm of 'no win no fee' solicitors. Essential.

Shit. Full lockdown at my house now. Domestic martial law, on my terms. No one allowed in the same room as the cat. Passing within a metre of his food bowl punishable by eviction.

(Technically, having him in the house is punishable by eviction, but our landlord is an uncontactable, unnamed overseas oligarch and has presumably already succumbed).

Evictions are suspended. Call your landlord and get Tiddles to meow down the phone.

Why would anyone be interested in that trifling detail?

The box is closed so the cat technically exists in a state of quantum, and that was too much to put in the caption under the photo.
