The warrant gives them the legal right to enter the house, but being vampires, they cannot enter without being invited. However, should you decide not to invite them, you can be found in contempt and arrested, which then creates the problem that the vampire police officer can’t enter to arrest you without being invited…


“Not at this address - return to sender” doesn’t do much, but “Deceased - return to sender” always works for me. Hopefully someone at the bank/sender flags the account and makes it the account holder’s problem.

(Don’t use sticky notes, they’ll fall off in the mail. Use a black permanent marker and write as big as possible so that they can’t “accidentally” miss your note. Cross out any barcodes or other markings that the post office adds so that it won’t automatically be re-sent to you, the machines will reject it and it will be manually routed back to the sender)


Walking the dog in the fresh air every day, meeting other people doing the same.

  • Father Brown
  • Not Going Out
  • My Family

Why do the British seem to make so many of this type of show?


  • I don’t want to look at pictures of spiders
  • I can’t remember. Surely it must have made sense at the time?


  • Airplane (Flying High)
  • Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
  • The Empire Strikes Back

We have a little whiteboard on the fridge, and every time we run out of something or think of something we need, we write it up. When going to the supermarket, I take a photo with my phone - instant shopping list!




I use an old toothbrush to get all the bits of crud out, then wipe down with disinfectant hand wipes.


No surgery, I have incurable blood cancer (multiple myeloma). I spent a year not responding to several different flavours of chemo. After “getting my affairs in order” and saying goodbye, they decided to do a stem cell (“bone marrow”) transplant, then another. Two more years of chemo, and now I’m in “myeloma remission” — cancer levels are too low to detect, but it always comes back…


Same, but chemotherapy was my trigger. Some doctors tell me “that never happens”; others say “yea, that’s common”.

I used to be able to speak five languages fluently, now three of them have almost completely disappeared. I can’t watch movies because I can’t keep track of who’s who and why they’re doing that. Same with reading books.

I pick up my iPad and can’t remember why. I read something and get stuck on words, I recognise a word and I know that I know what it means, but can’t remember. I’ll be speaking, get halfway through a sentence, and can’t remember what I was talking about.

I feel like the guy in Flowers for Algernon, who had it all and then lost it; and he knows it.


Guidelines for a Space Propulsion Device Based on Heim’s Quantum Theory

I thought it sounded interesting, but the mathematics was beyond me.


None sound correct to me. Sounds like you’re trying to describe a specific situation.

Do any of these help:

  • “I’m wondering if the monkey can see my ears”
  • ”I’m wondering if that monkey can see my ears”
  • ”I’ve been wondering about that monkey and whether it can see my ears”


No, but when I realised only last year that I’m neurodivergent, I also realised that everyone else had figured it out years ago and hadn’t bothered to tell me.
