yesterday, the french national assembly voted on its first reading of the first and not-already-rejected part of the 2027 budget.
out of 460 voting, 458 voted no (2 abstained).
finally, they agree on something! 🤣
@moonrabbit Upholding the dictum that politicians are a useless bunch of twats for the eleventy billionth day in a row 🙄 😂
Afternoon 🥒 🥰
@MiaMarkTwo
g'day lovely :bunhdheart: :Blobhaj_Heart_Rainbow:
how it goes?
i'm just popping in here briefly before we need to Prepare the Radiators ... it's bloody cold now, so i think there may need to be Heating. before the boiler servicing, bah, but there we are. (my other shoulder — as in the one that's usually stable — came half out and is now fairly seized, so warmth might be useful ...)
but gods yeah they're so fucking useless. also the budget's so fucking shit. lecornu has said he's sure there'll be consensus in december after senate has ready it. husband was saying doesn't that just mean 49.3, so i just kept repeating CONSENSUS at him 🤣
have you slept / eaten / are you adulting? :blobcatscared:
i washed my hair last night 🏆 :BlobCat_Giggle:
@moonrabbit It's going ok I suppose. Not much (broken) sleep and feet are fizzing away determinedly 🙄
Ooft, that sounds nasty 🫂 Did you get the extra hwb yesterday? You need one of those long ones that you can strap around you 😂
Well done on the hair washing :moomin_yay: I did not. But there has been No Adulting either, so it's a qualified win for "putting shit off until tomorrow" 🤣
Did you finish all the ginger cake?
@MiaMarkTwo
maybe, right, maybe if you had acupuncture in the soles of your feet, all the bubble would come out AND you'd levitate a little! :blobcataww:
(:Blobhaj_Hug: :blobbear_heart:)
we did, yes, but it wasn't for me. i've given him instructions to get another in a fortnight though, or whenever he next goes. i might actually look for a wrappy heat thing, good idea thank you, although i've no idea how i'd heat it unless it was water :Blobhaj_Thinking:
(no microwave ... we did have one that went in the oven till husband toasted it mightily 😂) ooh actually, i might have a cherry stone one somewhere???
hooray for no adulting! :apartyblobcat:
have you had some jammy raisins to celebrate?
one piece left ...
@moonrabbit That's the last time I solicit health advice from you 🧐 🤭
They do make long ones that are water-filled. I *almost* sent you a cherry stone pillow but I wasn't sure about the covering and how it would react with your Everything, and then I forgot 🙄 😂
I'm not mentally prepared for raisins just yet.
How are the floofs? Have you tried reducing kitten's 'roids yet?
@MiaMarkTwo
raisins do take a fairly special state of mind :blobdisapproval:
i'm currently in the, "i'm sure i've seen the cherry stone pillow somewhere" phase ... 😬
ARGH i have just been interrupted by fucking AI and shit bureaucracy and will be ranting about that imminently 🤬 :blobcatscared: 😭
and no, sigh, not yet re kitten. he's been a bit wobbly lately from a few late nights and also the cold ... nothing terrible, but we don't want it to become terrible, so we're waiting till he perks up again. hopefully soon! our schedule is normalising (for us ha), and we'll be putting the heating on soon, at least for a bit.
ooh i'm cross now! 😂 (it's re la poste, would you believe :goose_honk:)
