Boy Cat was meant to have a minor procedure to help him be comfortable while we managed his slow growing cancer.
Unfortunately his wee heart stopped, and he died during the procedure.
My heart is broken.
For 12 years this lovely boy slept on my head.
I don't know how to face bedtime tonight...

Sure! Here's the label. I'm not sure if they are small because they didn't have amazing sun, or if they are just small. 2 year old tree.

Young trees + corvids ate a lot. The little red ones taste divine tho!

I ate some bites before remembering the photo
Potato, onions, and salad from the garden. Chese, nutritional yeast flakes, dressing, and (fake) bacon from the shop.
Comfort food after another deeply stupid day.

![One of Britain's most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade
against Extinction Rebellion protesters going "all floppy" when they get
arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said
the tactic of going limp was a "flipping nuisance" as it required extra officers
to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: "We
have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing
to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which
is whv vou see four or five officers carrying them away. It's a complete waste
of officers' time, and a complete pain in the neck."
House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look
heavy-handed. He said: "The problem with them going floppy and four
offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police
are overreacting here. We*re not making them go floppy. They're just sort of
being a nuisance."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jvby3nip7umhkiw5bgrjohip/bafkreifdwxfeywim3h4l3yr25gusmnrms73flia4hilvar2xhqpkbd7oxq@jpeg)

Went to get dinner from the garden and got so hyperfocussed chasing these beauties to get a photo that I stranded myself 50 paces from my stick 😅

Here's the little demon #cat who is healing well and felt feisty enough to tangle up his feeding tube at midnight.
He gets nebuliser sessions daily, so we are basking in a saline cloud together on the floor while I try to wake up 🥱

Day 6 of post-surgery #cat care and sleep deprivation. Got a purr last night!
Yesterday was "crying with morning tea" mode, today is "hysterical laughter while tube feeding"
I have completely lost the ability to mask my #autism so that's fun.
So much respect to people who raised newborns, jeez.
