Was about to take Max out for his walk and then... downpour...
The vets on the Yorkshire Vet are doing a rather epic operation on a springer spaniel to remove a tumour...
My back is now screwed - again...
There is a dog on the Yorkshire Vet that has just done a (almost!) 101 Dalmatians by having 14 puppies...
I finally got all the flower bulbs planted today.

It's quite a lot of different varities. I don't know how well they will grow, though because the soil dries out quite easily and it's not easy to dig.

I can't stand R N B music, but my partner has decided that he's finally got fed up of Radio 3 and put on this awful radio station with very tinny irritating music.... I can't work in this room with the noise anyway, but that....
Is it ok to ask a question? I'm looking for places that do unabridged audio books, mainly in the sci-fi and fantasy genre as I'm starting to find reading print books difficult due to changes in my eye sight. Thanks.

I don't listen to audio books, so I'm not a great source of information. Of course you've heard of Audible, but beyond that I'd be doing internet searches myself to find out. Maybe someone on Neocities will see this and have a suggestion for you?

I'm not sure what it is like in your country, but in mine some libraries have physical audiobooks, as well as subscriptions to services that offer digital ones. Ask your local librarian and see if there's anything that helps!

Free legal option > Internet Archive, Librivox, Youtube. Pirated option > search for 'unblockit', you'll find them both on general sites and under 'books'. Paid for option > idk, Audible/Spotify(?)

Thanks. I did find one in the UK called Listening Books which is made for folks who have difficulty reading. I'm still OK with reading, but low light and small print are problematic. I got a magnifiier but all that does is give me an headache and our local library doesn't have a large collection of audio books. Audible is great, but it can be expensive, espeaically if you aren't a member. I've been using it for about

bright-eyes's avatar bright-eyes 1 year ago

a year now. Books on CD are expensive (think of Wagnar's Ring Cycle on CD and you get the picture.) Alot of books were abridged too in physical format so you miss a lot of story. (I guess it was to cut costs because a large tape/cd collection is expensive to produce.) I'll put links on my site to collections as I find them so it will help out others.

Apparently, after years of making me think that I have type 2 diabetes, the NHS don't know which type of diabetes I actually have...
There were two bees around the heather when I let the dog out. Dog goes after one of the bees, while one bee stays at heather collecting nector. Bee then angrily nudges me on my arm after finishing with the heather. Dog attacks bee, bee's friend is angry and takes it out on me... Who ever doubts that insects have intelligence has not spent a lot of time watching bees.

The dog has always been a menace around bees, even though we tell him not to do it in case he gets stung.

It makes the Ing-gal-land strip fiasco look like naught...

Now that the weather is getting more predictable, I am starting to sort out the room that I hope will be the craft room.
I dislike it when a person from a marginalized group self-flagellate themselves, or other people that are members of that group - like Georgia Man on Radio 3 commenting on a female composer 'composing like a man'. I find it worse than when a man is sexist. It reenforces myths that certain pass times, jobs, etc, aren't open to women. The same can also be said about POC doing these same things. Quit it and behave as
bright-eyes's avatar bright-eyes 1 year ago

it's normal for marginalized groups to do things.

There are certain phrases that get on my nerves - hot minute/it's been a minute, it is what it is and it's sick/that's sick (used to mean great, rather than the original meaning...) They are irritating expressions.

There are some pretty bizarre people on youtube and even though a lot of them are fans and collectors of things I like, I wonder about them...

And I also wonder about the impact it has on their family and whether they are fed up of their loved one's obsession....

Folks think diabetes is my real health problem, but it's not. It's the low mood because that controls how I deal with the diabetes and when it's off, I don't manage it properly.
People who start panic over witchcraft will be disappointed to know that most of the time, all witches and pagans do is do embroidery, collect pine cones, brew herbal teas, burn a few candles, write in notebooks and make paintings....
bright-eyes's avatar bright-eyes 1 year ago

Perhaps it's the cake baking, bell hanging and crochet work that gets their knickers in a twist.

One of the things I find terrible for modern fantasy writing is the use of the first person narrative. Very few writers can pull it off without making their main protagonist sound like a whiny kid from a badly written, directed and acted US Teen sit-com. I don't even know how such books retain the interest of the reader, let alone get great reviews. Also, in the age of AI, how can you tell if it's done by AI, or if

a human author is really that bad at writing.

spiders are tricky devils when it comes to decorating - they always think it's Halloween... (aka spiders have been making webs in the house again...)
Tomorrow is the start of the annual doggy appreciation event (aka Crufts.) Border Collies will once again be the true stars of the show as they blitz agility and flyball...
My food processor and bluetooth speaker are on their way. You know, one of the things I get tired of with blogs these days is how zoomed in the text and images are so that they are hard to follow, and there are also tons of ads in the middle of them. The ads make the sites look dodgy even when they aren't. I think neocities websites are much better to navigate, even the ones which have mid to late 90's clashing -

design flaws. Folks, you are doing good because your sites are usable.
