Good evening Squirrel Fans.
Tonight’s quote is from the Guide, on the subject of democratic elections, reading some of the toots today I think it is possibly THE perfect quote!
“[Ford said] ".. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur. "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going in for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in.”
― Douglas Adams, The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Good evening Squirrel Fans.
I find that while the works of Descartes , Aristotle & other great thinkers are to me not merely closed books , but shredded, burnt & released to the 4 corners of the earth books, Messers Pratchett & Adams speak to me in a language I understand, namely Middle (class) English.
Tonight’s quote is one of my favourites:
“People don’t live on the Disc any more than, in less hand-crafted parts of the multiverse, they live on balls. Oh, planets may be the place where their body eats its tea, but they live elsewhere, in worlds of their own which orbit very handily around the centre of their heads.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

Good evening Squirrel Fans.
My day was a little like Greyhalds’:
“...Greyhald Spold knows that Death is looking for him, and has spent many years designing an impregnable hiding place.
He has just set the complicated clockwork of the lock and shut the lid, lying back in the knowledge that here at last is the perfect defence against the most ultimate of all his enemies, although as yet he has not considered the important part that airholes must play in an enterprise of this kind.
And right beside him, very lose to his ear, a voice has just said: DARK IN HERE, ISN'T IT?”
― Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic

#MorningAll & #TZAG G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!
Ok who ordered a Wednesday ? I distinctly remember ordering a Friday for today !
We’ve had any number of Wednesdays recently & far too few Fridays !
Busy day today gotta drop yon OH off at work so I can have the car for this afternoons MH Practitioner appt & there’s a man from Occupational Health coming to see how he can ‘help’ me this morning - really I’m not sure why but hey.
The upshot is that your regular Squirrel service will be sporadic & not up to the high standards we usually fail to achieve.
Anyway have a cracking day #Today & remember #RuleNo1: Don’t let ‘em Cash-ew ! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

Good evening Squirrel Fans.
Tonight’s quote proves, if proof were indeed needed , that ‘dead cat on carpet’ is a pose adopted by all cats in all universes!
“In front of her the cat Greebo, glad to be home again, lay on his back with all four paws in the air, doing his celebrated something-found-in-the-gutter impersonation.”
- Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
