Well, that was handy. I finally got a grocery order in, and there were still a few delivery slots open this evening! (ETA: Actually went with Tesco over Sainsbury’s this time because of that.)

I was expecting to have to wait for tomorrow, at the very least. It cost like £2 more than some of the slots then, but more than worth it if I can avoid going out after a couple of things today. Plus get more GF bread, which I ran out of again. Needed to stock up on some staples anyway, so may as well get more good out of that higher delivery charge 🙄

But yeah, probably ought to remember to place orders more often. Definitely worth the extra £5-8 not to have to lug it home on the bus myself, anyway, even if that were less of a problem these days.

Annemarie Schwarzenbach was a Swiss writer, photographer, journalist and traveller. She dressed androgynously from an early age on and was often mistaken for a young man. One of her friends, Marianne Breslauer described her as “Neither a woman nor a man, but an angel, an archangel.”

Schwarzenbach has written multiple books and has documented the rise of fascism in Europe and her travels to various European countries with her photographs.

This duck got himself all in a flap after inadvertently straying into the path of a giant Shoebill while heading towards water.

But it was all water off a duck’s back for the imposing 4ft tall bird which instead of eating his smaller friend, carefully picked him up in his beak and moved him aside.

Despite its fearsome reputation as a predator around water, the Shoebill seemed more concerned with completing its journey than tucking into a feathered snack.

These extraordinary pictures were captured by 51-year-old amateur photographer Mark Kay, at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in the U.S.

‘I thought the Shoebill was going to eat the duck, but soon realised he was moving him out of the way.

‘After the duck fell to the ground, he seemed flustered and just walked away. The Shoebill just carried on.’

“Octopuses? Don’t you mean octopi? Grammar!”
“It’s a Greek word so its plural ought to be ‘octopodes’, but people understand the English plural ‘octopuses’ more easily because–”

fuck it all you guys, the plural of “Octopus” is now “Octopunks”

fuck yeah it is.

I mean, I’m also not that surprised that everyone so far who’s said that the other style of nosepieces works better for them does have more European features. (Small a sample as it is, and as much ground as that covers.)

I’m also glad that even since I first looked into it maybe 5 years ago (?), different fits do seem to be more readily available in the US at least, where there’s more demand. Not so much offline here, AFAICT. I may just give in and try ordering some glasses to hopefully find frames that fit my similarly deformed head better. *snerk*

But yeah, having additional sensory issues thrown in doesn’t make much of anything easier. Including if the fit is off with anything.
