The Natural History of Dragons and it's sequels has to be (currently), my favourite series. It gives fantasy a different dimension and I have always loved tales of Victorian Era Natural History. Instead of Dinosaurs, and Darwin, though, we have dragons.
The NHS need to communicate properly with people and stop relying on nonsensical, cryptic text message spam that doesn't tell you anything.

Apparently, Frig has a chariot pulled by sheep... As she and Odin are equal in everything, it would be funny if Odin turned out to be a shepherd, instead of a god of war.
I'm currently listening to A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan. A charming book - it's nice to come across characters that I find relatable. It's quite similar to Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, but it's the scholar/Natural History aspects of the books that I like. (I need to finish reading the Emily Wilde book, but was interrupted because of the eye/allergy issue.
We should really bring back the humble disc drive to computers. Why does everything take three hours or more to install? When everything was on a disc drive, it only took 30 minutes. Also, this downloadable software decreases security because of all the bogus malware sites that masquerade as software sites.

It's like using mobile phones to store your banking details, relying on mobiles for payments, doctors appointments, etc, when they can easily get lost or stolen, and mobile phone numbers are constantly being recycled so you can never be sure if the person you are ringing is the person you want to speak to.
Why is edge suddenly using Yahoo to search? It's annoying, because my default is google. Why is it these days with computers we are constantly getting rubbish stuff pushed on us and can't change it? I hate Yahoo search.
I wasn't really that keen on the first Nehalennia layout because it was difficult to find and change the colours, so I've found this one. It took me practically all evening to get the banner right and it just wasn't working at all - I can't seem to find a good software that you can download to edit images with that isn't based around AI generation. Sometimes cropping and resizing is all you need.
I really don't understand why people fill their social media profiles with politics and links to political news articles when they list their interests as sci-fi, nature, crafting, cats/dogs, art, etc, in their bios and never post about those things. I would follow them if their posts were their hobbies and interests, with the occasional political post... I'm just not interested in the rage mongering that only

posting about politics bring. They can follow me, but I won't be engaging with political posts because most of the time it's just there to anger you. (And it took me quite a long time to figure that out...)

Also, now that the lilac bush has started to lose its flowers, I've noticed that the eye irritation that I've been experiencing has started to settle down. I think what happened is that the dog caught my eye, which caused a slight injury and then this combined with her moulting, and the pollen, it's irritated my eyes more than normal, and my left eye caught the brunt of it because of her catching it with her paw.
I noticed that when we had Jaffa and we were in the car with him while he was moulting it irritated my eyes, nose and throat, but it lessened when we were in a less enclosed space.
