Awww pointy : cute!

And I have literally just this second heard that DS has been granted PIP, first go, no appeal needed. His advisers have nailed it.

Lovely Pointy

And more good news at chez Pointy

I signed up and had a look. Nothing of interest from what I saw. Perhaps it will grow.

It's going to make a massive difference to him. His mobility issues are never going to get better, and getting PIP will allow him to get a power addiction to his wheelchair. We can also now pursue a blue badge for him for when we travel together. I am beyond delighted for him.

Thanks, I signed up for mastodon but haven't used it much either

Congratulations on your PiP - that is fantastic 🥳
And the super cuddly cat.
Am cursing my dog for barking all night (no intruders unless you count foxes) - cats seem much more sensible.

Brilliant news @pointythings. And Lasagne is gorgeous.

Point pleased to hear your good news re your son, and a very regal cat you have there!

I have been following Spanish election closely, result far better than I imagined.

I'm not on threads because I don't have IG. Musk is a fool reinventing the wheel with twitter

Twitter is hopeless at the moment. It keeps switching me to For You then filling my timeline with Farage, Sunak, bras and diets.

Good luck to Elon getting everyone to call it X now.

Quelle surprise

Hhaha I'm glad it's not just me! I have to keep switching back to 'following', it's driving me mad! And yes... bras for old people

Gove is just taking the piss out of all of us. He literally just said ' make architecture great again'.

Did he say it in an American accent?

No , but one could sense the speech marks...

Running around on show biz and royal threads from what I’ve seen.

George Alagiah has died

Oh. 😢

Rishi Sunak says "of course" net zero is important to him after reports he's planning to delay or ditch green policies.

He wants to tackle climate crisis in a “proportionate and pragmatic” way - but unclear what he means by this.

Quite a front page from the Times this morning.

Not sure they intended that photo and that main headline to run side by side.

Ah now Rafa I think you will find that because arson was involved that the climate crisis is irrelevant (never mind that the increase in hot dry conditions make landscapes more flammable and therefore more difficult to control).

Also we have autumn weather in the UK and weather forecasts are woke
