CATS RULE DOGS DROOL

FERRETS ARE ALSO PRETTY MEH, HONESTLY


Weekend plans: dogsitting all weekend for a friend. I'm going to the beach tomorrow (5 dogs and 3 people in one car - meeting up with another dog & person there too), playing dark souls 2 tomorrow night, lazing around Sunday, agility training Monday most of the day, off Tuesday then agility again Tuesday night in prep for next weekend's show :)

All I need is some sort of futile diy project and I'm sorted for the weekend.

Should've borrowed the Tesla, they're great fun. Completely invisible on the road too until you put your foot down and you disappear into the distance in almost total silence.

Much better than Forest Hall Fisheries, but not better than the sausage sarnies we just had.

Coffee?

I have not done it myself but I stated with a friend at the weekend who has been doing it in an old secondary school in London near Paddington. The first I heard of it was a lady I used to work with, she had done it for a while and actually told me about two companies in Bristol and I seriously looked into it.

Basically either you will love it or it will probably be not for you.

The plus point is you can get at lot of room for really cheap, my mate is paying 550 a month in central London for a literal classroom that could hold 30 kids. It's cool, it feels very bohemian and the people are interesting. I mean within 5 minutes of me being there one of the other people was telling me about his sensible cocaine use, a lot of the sorts of people who live there are creative / arty / sketchy types - and if you're up for that then that could be cool.

The downside was the cooking and washing facilities. Communal bathroom, showers that are not the cleanest and the cooking facilities were loving gash basically, microwaves and electric stovetops.

Also when my mate was there first of all there were 70 people living in the building and those aspects were right poo poo shows - now there are 15 and it's not so bad.

The other thing is that you can be kicked out with 1 months notice any time for the most part.

However it is really cool, unusual and you do get excellent value. I would seriously consider it for the right location.

A friend of mine was in a grade 2 listed building, and ooooooooooooold old church/monastery place which was supposedly haunted. The room was enormous, wood paneled and the fireplace had a secret staircase which led to a safe room that monks used to hide in.

Some places can be great, others less so. And you have to deal with other people.
