I haven't finished this one yet, do we'll see.

I'm guessing you mean the first trilogy (apologies if I'm mistaken), as the First Law universe continues for 6 more books after that (plus a collection of short stories). After the Last Argument of Kings, there are 3 "stand alone" novels, which are the strongest, in my opinion, and then a second trilogy, which is excellent.

I believe there are more books planned for that universe, but The Devils is separate. The others I haven't read as they're Young Adult, so they probably have cheerier endings.

Were you to read on, you'd probably find some joy for characters you like, but I think unhappy endings outweigh the happy ones. Of course, I could be mistaken and you've read all 9, because the ending of the last can definitely be described as devastating too!

The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. It's set in a fantasy medieval Europe. Unfortunately, its not long out and is the first of a series, so I'll have to wait for the rest.

I have this on audiobook and it's brilliant.

Not sure if this has been said already, but win + m collapses all open windows.

All these are good (although I never saw the end of The Office), but I'm chaotic evil. IASIP is my all time favourite US sitcom (Peep Show being my favourite UK sitcom).

My orange cat had curled up next to my four year old kid this morning. The kid rolled over in his sleep, snuggled into the cat like a teddy, and he just accepted it.

My other cat is the cat in the meme though, even though she is the one who chooses to sleep on top of me.

Raises hand tentatively...

Although I do feel I'm learning stuff from being on here.

I have a little fold-out rack with (I think) 24 individual clips on that hold socks and other small items. It can then be attached to the washing line, taking up a lot less space than hanging things along the length of it.

It was £3.99 and it makes putting the washing out so much easier. I much prefer to line dry things outside than using the dryer when I can.

Yup. Matt's great. Love the podcast.

The Winds of Winter being released. Surely its coming any day now...

But for real, the youngest is going to school in September so I will have an extra day off in the week with no work and no kids.

We went for the annual vet visit last week. Our orange cat was already asleep in his carrier, so I just put the door on and carried him to the car. He hasn't slept in there since though!

Watched Titanic at the cinema when it came out. I was still very tearful at school the next day and my friends were mocking me about being sad at how the romance ended (no spoilers!) But really it was thinking about how all those people lost their lives and it really happened. That mom and the kids in steerage...

 

One of my design hang-ups is sunken ceiling spots. Personally, I would never fit them, although I can understand having them in a kitchen or bathroom. But this is just... something. No options for anything but searing white light. I can't even see any lamps in the bedroom.

 

He now splits his time between here and the room with the heated floor.

 

This is the inlaws' rescue cat. She hasn't been with them 3 weeks yet and she's settling in well. It's a still from a video so a bit blurry.

 

My next door neighbour (NDN) just told me about about the new neighbour (renter), who freely told her that she was evicted from her last place for having 19 cats, who she then abandoned. Fortunately, NDN is on the Facebook and was able to follow the local drama and find out they had all been rescued.

New neighbour told NDN she is going to sneak two cats into her new place (she's not allowed to under her rental agreement). NDN begged her not to and said if she must, to get them neutered, but it seems this woman just likes having her cats have kittens. I'm pretty sure she has the cats now as I saw pet supplies being delivered.

I want to do something to help now and prevent the same thing happening to more cats. I don't really care if she's breaking her rental agreement by having two cared for cats, but I absolutely do care about preventing neglect.

I know the RSPCA probably won't do anything and I'm not keen on getting someone evicted either. Any ideas?
