So many happy dog photos to toot this morning.
We had a perfect walk.

If a group of crows is a "murder" is a smaller group an "attempted murder"? A larger one a "double homicide"?

And if so, what is the numerical cut off of each?

I propose: 3 or less, 4-8 inclusive, and 9 or more.

Thoughts?

“Mathematician Laurence Sigler had made it his mission to translate [Fibonacci’s Liber Abaci], rushing to complete the task right before he died of lymphocytic leukemia in 1997. But his editor moved on, and the manuscript languished on floppy disks for years. For a while Sigler’s widow Judith Sigler Fell, fearing the project would be killed, took the extraordinary step of impersonating her husband in communiqués.

By the time Fell found a new publisher, Springer Verlag (now part of the same publisher as Nature), floppy disks had been superseded and she had to hire a hacker to extract the files. Fell then discovered that Springer only accepted submissions in TEX format, the technical standard for physics and mathematics texts. She learned it and spent six months retyping the text. Fibonacci’s Liber Abaci was finally published in 2002 — the 800th anniversary of the book’s first appearance.”

Other people have mentioned this but I though I would just remind gamers out there

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2026/jul/01/sony-playstation-digital-downloads

Sony are determined to control ‘ownership’ of games, in fact they would rather you only rented them and paid a premium to do so. Their recent shenanigans removing access to videos that people thought they had purchased would be a warning to anyone considering their products.

Managed to fight everything screaming at me to stay home & get out & walk into town.
First stop, local DIY/Kitchen ware store & found that they had both sonic mice repellers & filler for after they gone.

So, come on mice, mice baby!

Plus, I now know what I'm doing after lunch :ninjagaiden: 🔊 🐭 🚫

1/ Went up Tyndall again recently. Shepherd's pass trail is as tiring as I remember and the road is worse. Parked a mile away, should have just parked at the stock trail. Lower canyons and creek crossings were unfun as usual. Some snow across the pass, saw a coyote going up ahead of me. Got up on the high basin shaded from evening sun but still had light and color on the peaks.

Good morning you lovely lot 💕 It's Monday yet again and I'm up with the parrots and having a brief cuddle session with Ziggy before diving into work and the Inbox of Doom headfirst. I have a colleague on leave this week so it's going to be even more hectic than normal - this might be my last coherent post until Thursday again 😊

Toby is busy throwing half his food out of the bowl - veggies mostly - as he tries to get to the pomegranate seeds. Loves any seedy fruit does that Eclectus. Give him a passion fruit and he's in his element, happy as Larry 😊 You'll hear him crunching on the seeds hours after he's eaten them too as Eclectus often regurgitate their food to give it another go! Not for nothing is he also called Mr Magoo 😂

Right. Ziggy is demanding "Come! Come!" so I'd better sort out her meds and get her settled so I can do the work thing.

Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗

So according to crashlogs there is a crash in Tusky where it just crashes scrolling a timeline. It never happened to me so I'm looking for more information so I can fix it. If you encountered a crash that matches that description I'd like to know: What timeline was it? Which server are you on? Did it crash repeatedly or only once?

#GoodMorning and #TZAG everyone :ablobcatcoffee:

We had a short night. I would have loved it if Koa would have allowed me at least an hour more... But nope... 😔 According to my health app, the last week, my average sleeping time was about 6:44. Which seems a lot. And it would be good if this was in one go... But... Often, Koa wakes me up at least once, some nights even twice... And that is what is making my sleep less worthy. Waking up when you're still tired. Needing to go out and watch a dog, when you're in pain and in need of sleep... 😔

Yesterday, I managed to help my mum. When I got up, I managed to fix something else for her. And, after trying and gering lucky 🍀 for a short amount of time... I was able to save mum's pictures of the broken phone! She had no backup, so I hope that I got them all, as it was hard enough to get these few... It took me several hours and many tries. But I managed to keep the phone on long enough to copy the one folder... I tried for another one, but no such luck. Still... I got this! I am great! 😂 I just hope that mum and dad will be happy for the time and effort that I put into this... Mum may be more grateful, dad will just be OK, not really acknowledging that this was not a 5 minute easy thing. It could have been, if the phone wasn't broken... 🤔

I worked on my blog a bit. And I tried to walk with Koa. Even did one of my stretching exercises... It will be a long day, with puppy class and all that... And I totally forgot that my coach would be coming this morning, at least, I think she is... 😇

I do need to get some groceries. Mum will doggy sit Koa tomorrow, so I can visit physio. I think I can quickly get some groceries after physio, mum probably won't mind... And tomorrow, they'll finally be coming to service the WTW unit, as my filters have been bad for at least two weeks... But yeah, doesn't matter to them that the air system doesn't work properly in a house... Just wait two weeks... (even though they should have serviced the systems last month already! Ugh...).

Gonna fix some food for Koa, and then relax with some telly...

Catch you all later folks!

#Journal of a slightly busy Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Sunday, 05/07/2026).

I didn’t have the best night, as it took some time to get comfortable enough to fall asleep, and Koa woke me up several times for potty breaks… So when he woke me up again, I understood he had been in the crate long enough, and we got up to start our “day”. I got dressed, took my meds, and prepared Koa’s meal. After that, we got to the couch, where I grabbed my laptop to start my usual “couch routine”.

I wrote a long email to my sweet friend. Followed by the writing of my journal toot. When it was done, I uploaded it to all the usual places. Koa wanted out for walkies, so we went for a short round. When we got back, I got back to the couch for some relaxing. I watched a bit of telly, and I scrolled on my phone. I wrote a bit for my blog as well. Basically, I tried to relax as much as I could, as the previous two days had worn me out quite a bit.

After a while, Koa and I went out for another short walk. Then, I headed upstairs. First, I rode my bike on the lowest, slowest, setting for 15 minutes. When I was done, I folded the dry laundry, and took it downstairs with me. I wanted to relax a bit on the couch, before putting away the clothes and such. But, before I was ready with my relaxing, Koa already wanted some attention.

I wonder at times, how much he is training and testing me, with his barking to go out. If I ignore it, it could be that he did have to go, and he’ll “reward me” with something to clean up. But, maybe he knows that a bark will get him out, whether he needs a pee/poop or not… So, he barks, and I respond. Even when I feel like he is testing/trying me, I still don’t want to be wrong, and end up needing to clean a smelly mess…

Koa and I got back from walkies. I made him his food, and then I made some for myself as well. We relaxed a bit, and I got my little vacuum cleaner, so I could vacuum the downstairs area a bit easier than with the big one. The small one isn't as good, but still, it was better than not vacuuming at all. When I was done, Koa and I relaxed for a while.

Mum had texted me the previous day, that she’d be with us between 10-10:30. So, a bit before ten, Koa and I went out for a walk again. And then, I watched some telly, while waiting for mum. When it was 10:32, I got a text that mum was coming… Unfortunately, she meant she was just leaving their home, which meant that I had been waiting for half an hour for nothing… And I would have to wait a little longer as well. I walked Koa again, and then I crated him, so I could do my stretching exercise while waiting for mum.

Mum finally came, Koa got all excited, and he managed to “hug” mum a bit too enthusiastically, so I got mum a bandage. I got out my laptop, as I wanted to work on mum’s old phone. But, that one wasn’t interested in working at all. So, we focused on the new phone, to get everything installed and working. We worked on it for about 90 minutes. Then, we took Koa out for a little walk. When we got back, Koa was too excited with mum again, so bandage number 2 was needed. Mum does bleed rather quickly and easily though… When Koa relaxed a bit, I gave him a new plush toy that I had waiting for him: a new Ikea Giraffe (the small one). Koa was all excited about it, and he dragged it along with him, which looked rather silly.

We finished working on mum’s new phone. The old one still was a no-go, so it would stay with me, so I could try it some more. Koa had his meal, and then mum got ready to head back home. We got to their car, so I could connect the phone to the car’s Bluetooth system. Then, I went back to Koa, who was barking in the garden, all abandoned and alone, the poor thing. Mum went home, and Koa and I got ready to head to bed. I was very tired, after all the little walks with Koa, and being busy with mum’s phone for about two hours.

It didn’t take too long for Koa to doze off, and I was hoping that I could join him soon. I needed an extra painkiller, as my body would not let me get comfortable enough to relax. After a while, the meds started to work, and I felt myself get so tired. So, I dozed off for a while. Koa let me sleep for several hours, which felt good. We went out, he did his things, and we got back to sleep for about 2 more hours. I didn’t get as much sleep as I hoped for, according to my watch, it was a little less than 6 hours in total. But, some of the sleep I did get, was rather nice. We got up a bit earlier than I hoped, and we started our “day”.

Thanks to all for your kindness and support during my "journey through daily life" :bear_love: I really appreciate it :bear_hugs: as it helps me to keep going on bad/harder days! :bear_nuzzle:
