Stop saying things like that, Fishy. Please. Because otherwise I will have to start doing mad mental arithmetic as to how many stitches I have to go and will go Stark Mad. And there’s quite enough of that about as it is.
How many people do we collectively know with crossbows, d’you reckon?

Ooo Fishy that is torture
I could not get anywhere if I calculated the number of stitches in each bit
Hey ho it keeps us out of mischief

I was thinking of you as I knitted earlier
I had a leopard collar and a leopard lap covering while I knitted and my knitting was ignored by the Bengals

How very lax of them, Twellsy.
Here, Captain Idiot got onto my beading arena and was Very Interested. This was not helpful, and his feelings were very hurt by his summary ejection.

I waited until I was fairly sure it was more than half-way before I wrote it down just to see; it’s very easy to work out on the computer exactly how many stitches are involved. I had thought it would be more than that, to be honest.
I had thought that all cats had the (mistaken) belief that they could knit. Certainly every cat we as a family ever had sharing our living quarters was of that opinion. Does this mean the leopards are not really cats?
I am incredibly tired. I have almost entirely stopped sneezing, and I have had a real coughing fit only about half a dozen times today, but last night was iffy. And now my left ear has the guggles, as if I had been swimming and got water into it, which is Utterly Maddening and on past experience will take ten days to a fortnight to clear properly dammitall.
This leads me to feel that I hope the Surprising Mrs Armitage is getting better sleep and more of it than that. Does the cast get a sling during the day to distribute the weight a bit?

But you do have a trebuchet, don’t you? Almost as useful. It’s only that Big Sticks Wiv Nails In - which are whither my thoughts have been tending - are somewhat of an embarrassment when a nice 12-year-old Plod asks Questions.
You could have a crossbow, Hedgers. And (in a naff Roald Dahl/Brookmyre mash-up tributish kind of way) I point out that you also have a freezer ;- )
Now, a working Death Ray would be just the ticket…

I am of the skool of thort that a drone armed with a water bomb filled with slurry could be a great weapon for education of them as is irritating one
This has the advantage of not resulting in a trip to the Crown Court charged with summat serious

A child in a nearby garden is screaming like a steam whistle. As far as I can tell it is merely loud, not distressed. I would very much like to do something to rectify that.

Child-froat-sized gobstopper, Gus?

Active drone controls are traceable if you’re competent, but quite a lot of plod aren’t. And while you could send an autonomous drone to do the job, you’d probably want it back as they’re bit expensive.

There must be a way of delivering slurry bombs without being traced

And you’d need to be tracing it while it was active, wouldn’t you? In which case, after it had dropped its slurry and retreated silently into the night would be a bit late.

This is another of those times when I worry more than at others.
But using something known as Voodoo Lily and Devil’s Tongue in sweeties was never going to end well, was it?
