The hardest part of helping Little Stray Kitty at the moment is not being able to explain to her that this is for her own good.
Once her kitty flu has cleared and no owner has come forward, we can get her to a vet then let her out.
Sad kitty. 😔
She's got toys, kitty YouTube, is enjoying watching the birbs from the window and we're spending time in the room with her.
But there's still periods of slightly sad meowing. She's a feral, outdoor cat and this is alien to her.
Ultimately, it's just two weeks (pre/post snip and vaccines) of restriction to make sure she has a better life for a long time, including getting her new limp checked/sorted.
But you can't explain that to a kitty who just doesn't understand why she's not allowed to leave.
Still not convinced she'll trust us again after all this. But it had to be done. Especially once she started limping. 😔

His train nerdery seemed initially be a blessing for La Compagnie Internationale as they tried to sort out a route for their Orient Express, but...
...well. Things escalated quickly.
Read on... /1
So Compagnie Internationale seemed to have utterly lucked out.
Not only was Boris all "OMG YESSSSS" when they asked to run the Orient Express through Bulgaria, but he became one of their biggest customers, regularly booking out whole carriages for himself.
But Bozza wanted more
Soon, he was turning up in engine overalls and asking to ride in the cab, when he wasn't chilling in his private carriage.
Compagnie Internationale told train crew to let it slide.
Because:
1) He was literally King of Bulgaria 2) He was spending a TON of cash
There's a weird thing where TV companies just assume that they have some kind of magical right to your sources.
They slide into your DMs and are like: "hey. We're TV. We don't want to talk to you, but can you hook us up with all your research/source contact deets? Cheers. Bye."
I assume they think you'll be so in awe of the slightest connection to the tellybox that you'll just fawn and do it.
It's not the nineties. If I wanted to do a video about something I'd do it myself.
Or, ya know, you could pay me. My time isn't free.
It's very odd. I never really get that with big papers, who'll mostly want to chat to you or at least credit (excluding the Daily Fash who just nick all your stuff without contacting you anyway)
But TV production? They ask for everything and mostly offer nothing.
2022 goal: find an official tea partner for my streams. Other streamers are energy drink affiliates. I want to be a tea affiliate.
I just want to be able to say "today we are drinking this tea on stream" and drink different teas. Then have people be able to buy that tea with a discount code if they like the sound of it.
All I require is a regular supply of free tea. I'm easy. I'm a tea slut.
I mean don't get me wrong, I drink energy drinks as well. I'd just rather be in the pocket of Big Tea than Big Energy.
Okay, finally found the angle for the Mohne attack run.
You come in wide then sweep round and descend fast at the last minute as you come over the hook. Can see why they needed the full moon.
Hard enough to do that at night WITHOUT a bunch of angry Germans shooting at you. 😬
Same Mohne attack run, but at dusk rather than the time they got over target, as it gives you a better view.
Note me almost stacking it on the trees as I come over the island to hit height. Pretty certain the tail gunner would have been picking leaves out of his turret.
The approach to, and exit from, the Eder attack. You have to see this in daylight to see how bloody hard it is.
JOSEPH: Hmmm. I see they're doing another census.
MARY: Are they?
JOSEPH: Bloody Romans.
MARY:
JOSEPH: Unelected bureaucrats.
MARY:
JOSEPH: Oh no. Why have you got thinking face?
MARY: Schools, Joseph! This means we can get him into a good school!
JOSEPH: Mary, we've talked about this. He can go to the local comp
MARY: He's not going there
JOSEPH: Did me alright.
MARY: Says the man who voted for Jexit
JOSEPH: Look, they lied to us. They said it would lead to more money for the Temple
MARY: He's going to a good school, Joe
JOSEPH: We can't afford a good school, Mary.
MARY: We just need to be in the right catchment area.
JOSEPH: I'm not moving house again. You know how hard it is finding carpentry jobs in this economy.
MARY: We just need to be in the right catchment area ON THE CENSUS
JOSEPH: Oh. OH
