It's a snowy morning. The chickens are not impressed by this development, and wish to speak to the management.

The garden has entered tomato harvest season. Some will be sauce, some will be eaten fresh, some will be dried and stored in olive oil.

Yet another order sent to the USA has disappeared. This is why I don't ship there any more. It's bad enough losing 40% of my revenue stream, but having to refund a couple of months worth of orders because it took this long to show up as a problem is an additional kick in the balls for me, and I imagine for many other small businesses.

Perhaps I should do a cold war style information sign:

"
Everything is fucked.

Literally every single thing is completely fucked. At the rate new things are fucking up we may never be able to get them unfucked again.

*Shelter in place until further notice.

*Check on your neighbours to see how fucked they are.

*Only attempt to unfuck something if it is safe for you to do so.

*Do not expect help from your local authorities, as they are also fucked."

Look, I know computers are great and everything, but these lovely fuckers sink carbon, produce food and oxygen, stabilise the soil, help prevent flash floods, attract wildlife, self replicate, smell nice, and don't have an AI chatbot interface.

I am not coping well. This is a public service information broadcast on behalf of the I'm likely to start screaming at any moment party.

Remember folks, you don't want to end up with mildew on your courgette, so trim the foliage back to promote airflow.

I know this message might seem out of character, but modern technology generally fucks the planet up, and plants generally do the opposite.

It's time to unfuck the planet back down again, one vegetable at a time.

*I'm not very good with catchy slogans. Sorry.

I got a cheap Xiaomi Smart Band 9 (for less than £30) to get a feel for my pulse/oxygen saturation while I'm sleeping with the CPAP. Napping without the CPAP, my saturation was about 90%. With the CPAP on, my saturation was 98% or higher. I think that's pretty conclusive evidence. It's also quite a cool little device for the price, even if I did have to buy a much bigger strap to fit it onto my gorilla arms.

I keep seeing people saying they've been "let go" from their job and they're "excited" for the "next challenge".

I'm starting to think there's something deeply wrong inside of me, because my sales have tanked since I left the bright lies and big shitty of the social media data vampires, my expenses are going through the roof, Royal Mail postage costs alone are crippling, I'm ill, and I'm ABSOLUTELY FUCKING TERRIFIED. I'm not "excited" at all. When do I start feeling excited?

Does anyone in here have any experience of electric cargo trikes? I'm looking at https://amcargobikes.co.uk/product/deluxe/ - does anyone have experience of this machine or have any comments or recommendations in general? It will be for transporting me and the small humans on short runs to and from school, and doing shopping/errands in town. Boosts appreciated for the breadth of advice.

Nap time starts in 3 minutes. Everybody: Half an hour please, grab your blankets and cushions, settle in, and give snooze a chance.

@ajroach42 I sell mugs, signs and coasters on my Etsy store.

@goatsarah This is a triumph. I'm making a note here, huge success.

It's talk like a pirate day! Here I go:

"I just want to access the media I already own in a portable format that I can watch or listen to in high quality on all my devices without DRM or adverts."

Did I do it right?

The trouble with craft shows is that I can't really sell some of the signs that I want to. You can still get them on etsy though, so have a look at http://Lewiswork.etsy.com if you have a lethal workshop and need something suitably offensive to deter visitors.

*Boosts appreciated, as always.
