After revising the Highway Code (Rules of the road for the UK) again for my up coming tests and then going for a 30 min drive. Soo many drivers have forgotten or ignore so many rules. I spotted, 3 Red light runners, 10-13 Junction offences, 4 Dangerous Parking/Waiting rule breakers, not to mention the Speeding and lack of indication from predominantly one group of Cars. It makes me wonder why mandatory retesting every decade or so is not a thing.

It's surprising how well one can still manage with a broken thumb on the main hand, provided most of your job happens at a keyboard and you've already been relying on public transport.

The most annoying thing right now is that the cast keeps hitting the control key when I reach for the home key with my index finger, throwing me all the way to the top of the file instead of the beginning of the line. It seriously breaks my train of thought every couple minutes...

Have you tried pulling out the ctrl key in question?

Because of COVID I've been working from home the last few days and work gave me a laptop. It's keyboard has the Fn key crammed in on the left of Ctrl.

Let's just say it's probably a good thing that Fn+C or Fn+S or Fn+Tab don't do anything.

Hurray! We have found our cat, after he did not come home for breakfast this morning. Must have had a pretty bad day, looks like he fell halfway into the brook and then got himself locked up inside a chicken pen. Was terribly scared when we found him, but now he is back home.

That's good news. I'm always nervous to let my cats out, but they're so darn independent, it's hard to say no to them.

We tried that for a few days and then gave up. His older uncle in the apartment below is also used to leave the house as he likes and he took his younger nephew with him then.

We suspect, the dog of a neighbour was running astray this morning and chased our cat, the many cats of the farm next to us usually don't scare him that much.

Our cat's usually sleeping in the house by day and goes out at night. There's times when he doesn't come home for days. We stopped worrying about him a long time ago...

When you quickly leave the house for buying insect food for the alive bird, that the cat brought home yesterday morning, and come home to see that he had dropped dead from the branch in its cage within 20 minutes.

That kind of behavior is really what I hate with cats. They don't kill them right away, but carry them badly injured from outside through the basement window into the basement and over two stairs into the upper apartment of the house....

ANY IDEAS HOW TO TEACH HIM TO EITHER PLAY AND KILL OUTSIDE OR BRING BETTER GIFTS TO US?

I mean, would he bring home money, we would appreciate it much more...

ANY IDEAS HOW TO TEACH HIM TO EITHER PLAY AND KILL OUTSIDE

There's only one solution to this: Don't have a cat door. We don't, and he just got used to the times people usually enter or leave the house. So we can control what he drags in. If they can come in with their prey, they will, there's not much you can do about it. They will carry the catch to the most sheltered space they "own" to play with.

OR BRING BETTER GIFTS TO US?

Now, that would be a neat trick. Please tell me if you ever find out :lol:

Can't do that - the basement windows have to be open (stone walls) and the landlord doesn't want to install a grate (or do anything else beyond what the law mandates as minimum). We have no cat door, both cats in the house use the small basement windows for leaving or entering the house.

Tape on a mosquito net?

Tape on a mosquito net?

Would last maybe 30 seconds. When our windows are open, he likes to rip off the mosquito nets there and lay on the windowsill outside, because he has a better overview of his home range there.

Guess why we don't have such curtains. We use sliding doors.

But our sofa is slowly approaching this look.

Every time you feed him, place a 100€ bill by the cat bowl, so that he associates money with food.

In no time flat, he'll be a reliable source of income*.

If he goes off looking for euroes in Switzerland, the poor thing might go insane...
