That’s a problem.

I think the appropriate memory hole would be the circular filing cabinet. Seriously, if your current policy/procedures are solid, this is just a reminder not to be stupid or careless. An exercise in ticking boxes to be sure, but when it matters it REALLY matters.

Compliance with what?

Is aspirin a possibility? Yes it’s a blood thinner, and can trigger gut issues, but it IS an effective painkiller. Not very fashionable atm though.
Paracetamol scares me - the gap between an effective dose and a dose that kills your kidneys is quite small. - Comment on Discussion Thread 🤠 Thursday 20 August 2026 3 days ago:
Something similar happened to me many moons ago when I was a lot more flexible - only 1 dog (mine) though. He was most perplexed that I was using HIS door.

Moisture hanging around in the air is conducive to mould and fungus growth. St Anthony’s Fire (ergotism) a distinct possibility.

Ahem. We do not make good firewood. And there will be consequences that you will not like. I disapprove of laying curses in a general sense, but I will make exceptions when necessary.

Make your vote Count!
Actually his policies are measurable and quite do-able. I look forward to having him as part of the UK government. If a comedian can fight and pretty much win a war against the Russian Federation, then another should be able to manage being a local representative.
We as a nation should take notice of this phenomenon, as comedy/mockery is the one weapon a dictator simply cannot counter without adding to his/her problems.

Forgot to mention it earlier, but there’s some happy news. The first purple magnolias have started to bloom along Brunswick Street, and the pear trees outside St Pats Cathedral likewise. The Devil’s Candlestick outside the Houses of Parliament are also starting to bloom. Spring is just around the corner.

You know. The Melbourne Cup is on, or the Grand Final, so one’s offspring come home like swallows to their roost each summer, along with gfs, expecting free accommodation and food for 3 days. Then they depart, leaving a mountain of laundry behind and an empty freezer. I got jack of it. Happily, there’s a budget motel only one block away from my current location so they’ve got no excuse going forward. And lots of dining options on High St. Grump/rant over.

Make them pay. Including re-location expenses for the strays.

I fully agree. This is why I moved into a 2 bedroom unit when I downsized. One room for me (not negotiable) and one for whoever with a mattress on the floor. I don’t own a big enough couch for sleeping on (unless you are a cat). Funnily enough, my sons plus girlfriends of the day suddenly stopped treating my place as a sports hotel quite as often.

Family is sooo much easier to navigate with a door that can be shut when needed.

If that doesn’t work, dye it blue. Same blouse, just a different colour.

Was a professional showjumper and eventer for a few years. Many moons ago now.

Atmospheric moisture plus the fact that the poop & pee (for mares) originates at about shoulder height on us humans, or higher. And splashes, and gets kicked around, trodden on and smeared. And if the horse is feeling a bit nervous, then EVERYTHING comes out in liquid form and splashes. I have seen splashes on the roof of horsefloats.

Nobody likes touching such things. I have had a lot of experience with this phenomenon, and I can tell you this hand on heart. And I am no picky princess.

Standard practice for any woolly item containing cashmere too. If it’s real cashmere, there’s always a few stiff goat hairs included and they itch something shocking. Freezing the item seems to solve the problem.

Put the jumper in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for 24 hours. This will stop the itching (which comes from short fibres poking through the yarn). Dunno why it works but it does.

I’ve been baby stepping one of our clients through our new AML process, and thought I’d got them through with all boxes ticked etc. after far too much telephone time. Today received an email from them that finished “Thank you for your time tomorrow”. Alas, I fear that will be all too true. Pray for me.

Ahem - we’re getting rain, a lot of rain here in Richmond.

Its’ been a weird ass day at work. Nuffin happening. I’ve even caught up on the filing and shredding. Next week could be brutal or could be a wasteland - atm we are just waiting to see. Might go home early.
The entire accounting profession is holding its breath for the implementation of the Anti Money Laundering (AML) rules that kick in on Saturday. If your accountant hasn’t contacted you about this, they probably will soon. Cos they have to verify your identity on a regular basis before they can do anything more than process your tax return. And we have to verify their identity before we can do anything for them too. The double handling of simple processes is going to be the true debacle imo. We’ve automated as much as we can as permitted by the legislation, but there’s a limit to what we can do in that respect.
