Feel quite bad because my sister's dog Charlie, 11, is going to be put down this week, and she loves him like a child, while our dog Negra, 15, keeps shitting all over the house but shows no signs of waning.

Found myself browsing camper vans today. I don't think we'll buy a camper van. Just have a nice holiday instead.

Enjoyed reading the @steviechick.bsky.social interview with Roddy Bottum. Cards on the table, I have never seen Faith No More perform live… But I have seen Sasquatch: The Opera. #ILikeHisLaterStuff www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

You can still get tickets for Oasis in Buenos Aires next week. Cheapest tickets are 394,000 pesos, twice as much as Shakira charged 2 months ago and 8 times what I paid for La Traviata tickets at the Teatro Colón. Sadly, Oasis have scheduled their concert on the same day as a Scrabble tournament.
