He did, took him to the beach one final time in the morning, gave him all the treats he wanted, vet came round and we held him until he was gone. We pick his ashes up next week... went to the beach this morning and it felt wrong, the house feels empty. Spent this afternoon, clearing up his stuff and washing everything to put in storage... in tears the whole time.

Racist past... racist present... racist, fascist, grifting POS is always going to be a racist fascist grifting POS... His name should be Forage... because he's always foraging for bribes and cash to line his own pockets.
It's going to be a miserable and weepy end to the week. Tomorrow we have to say goodbye to a very good boy, the bestest of good boys. He's 13yrs old, his hips have gone and he can barely stand now, he's got cataracts and pancreatitis. He's in constant pain and his legs can give out at random, and you hear him wince in pain every time he lays down. We've even had to start feeding him by hand as he's laying down. He's lost a lot of muscle mass over the last 6 months too, and we've tried everything the vets have suggested to make him comfortable and ease the pain. Pain killers, steroids, special food and so forth... But it's time to ease his suffering and we've been agonising over the decision for weeks now.
The vet is going to come to the house and do it, less stress for our boy and he can be on his comfy bed, surround by his toys and us... and as he's not been allowed any treats for ages due to the pancreatitis and some very boring foods... His breakfast tomorrow is going to be fit for a king, I made a beef stock from some huge beef bones I got from the butchers. That's going to make a thick gravy to go with some steak and veggies.... and I've bought the best treats I can for him.
I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago at the beginning of the internet, when the words tubgirl and goatse were uttered in hushed tones. I was there when the will of man failed.
Ended up watching a movie from a few years ago called Slingshot... psychological drama set on a spaceship... kinda Meh If I'm honest.
I gave up on F1 about 8-9yrs ago... I knew when it went to sky they'd find a way to screw people over... Promised that everyone who got F1 for free would continue to do so... then offered a free upgrade and better pricing... and ripped it away without telling you... oh.. the F1 channel... that's be an extra 20 quid a month you fucking muppet.
I cancelled my sky instead, and as my partners mum still had it... used her sky go login to watch it on a PC connected to the TV... when the ripped that away too... I said Fuck F1 and never watched it again.
From what little news I've read since... I've not actually missed anything interesting.
It's raining... seriously, it's not stopped since Sunday... well, maybe a slight exaggeration... it has stopped for at least... 2-3hrs at a time... several times. But basically, it's not dried out enough anywhere for 4 days.
The flood plains have flooded... the pedestrian paths and cycleway out into the countryside may already be impassable, the river through town is rising and the reservoir overflow has been struggling to keep up, flooding the river on another flood pain before it reaches town... where it actually has to flow under buildings.
It's dark... it's grey... and it's fucking miserable.
I find myself wanting to crawl into bed at 8pm onwards... in fact it's 8:40pm now... and I'm thinking... mmmm bed and a movie (not that sort you pervs... well... depends if I can convince the other arf with an early night too)... last night it was The Fifth Element... what classic from the 80's or 90's will it be tonight.
Suggestions on a postcard too... no.. wait... comment below.
Wait... do you put bread on the outside... both sides?
Reminds me of being a kid and making a wotsit (you might need to be from the UK to know what those crisps are) sandwich with cheese spread... and the cheese spread was there to stop the wotsits falling out.
When I make a hot dog, I cut the bun open, but also hollow it out a little... this gives ample room for extras and allows you to actually 'close' the bun and avoid spillage.
He's what the world needs more of, a person who's not a racist, fascist loving piece of shit like most politicians are... like the UK currently has too much of, we need more left leaning people in power instead of the wankers we have who are in the pockets of corporations and serve their interests. We needs les of the bigoted pieces of shit grifters like reform, tory and labour and their flag shagging racist supporters.
Too many people just don't give a fuck about who they elect and follow along like good little sheep to whoever makes the most noise about the current divisive trend (trans and immigrants at the moment).
Guess I should say hello and post a couple of pics.
Bought my first e-bike a few years ago after struggling to ride a normal lightweight hybrid mountain/city bike. Old football and work injuries mean that as I head into middle age... my knee & ankle (on opposite legs) are becoming an issue, as is a spinal compression issue.
So I bought a cheapish halfrauds ebike, that I had to return as it failed after 250 miles, the replacement failed after 261 miles... So it was returned for a refund... that halfrauds fought all the way and tried every dirty, underhand trick they could... the outright lied to my credit card company... who thankfully saw through their bullshit and refunded me.
So I bought a Haibike trekking with the Bosch mid drive system, a 75nm motor and 500wh battery. It's good for 70 miles in eco mode and occasional battery off mode, but in reality because of hills and open countryside with strong headwinds... 50 miles is my avg as I need level 2 assist into strong headwinds some days, but the return journy can often be done on eco or battery off mode for a good section.
I guess I average somewhere in the 1.5 to 2.2% battery for each mile ridden.
Today, I used 22% battery for a 10.5 mile ride due to extra strong winds when I reach the countryside.
I avg about 10-12 miles per ride, the longest ride I've ever done was 27 miles... which was due to me leaving my phone behind on a bench and on realising when I stopped to take a pic of some nesting swans about 6 miles closer to home. 🤦♂️
I've done a few changes to the bike, riser on the handlebars to give me a more upright riding position to help my back stay straighter. Pannier bags, and a more comfortable seat and sprung seat stem.
I don't get out as often as I like, I prefer dry riding and around where I live there's not a great deal of acceptable cycling routes, unless you want very narrow, twisty and hilly back roads that can be quite unsafe for bikes. There's only two real routes I can take, one gives me a loop of about 9 miles around a reservoir and back through some woodland, the other a nice 9 mile ride out to an estuary and a large forest, where a further 2 miles down some gravel fire roads through it, brings you out at the beaches near a light house. Going that far is a 22 mile round trip, so I can't do it often and I need some better tires on this bike before I attempt it again as mine are road tires at the moment.
I do about 30-40 miles a week on it, less in the winter as both routes can be susceptible to flooding.
I can't fit a bike rack to my current car, I'd need to fit a towbar and hang one on that, and the bikes are far too heavy to put on a roof rack (about 30kg). So I can't take advantage of other routes in the area... But when I replace my old car next year, I'm looking for something I can use to transport my bike to a more suitable starting position.
