Hmm.

Thank you, John. That's great to hear! 👍

Any news on how our Dude is doing?

Oh, bloody hell. Poor Mike. Cole says it best:

Yep. 2022 and all its rottenness will pass into memory faster than the fastest thing.
And 2023 will... WILL WILL be a great year!

Russia's lower house of parliament has unanimously voted to extend its ban on so-called "gay propaganda".
Under the latest version of the law, any promotion of homosexuality - including in books, films and online - is illegal and carries heavy penalties.
It was nicknamed the "Answer to Blinken" law, after the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticised it as a "blow to freedom of expression".
Activists say it is a further attempt to repress Russia's LGBT community.
It was approved by 397 votes to none in the Duma - Russia's lower house - with no abstentions.
The bill still has to pass in the upper house and be signed off by President Vladimir Putin, but this is largely seen as an administrative step.
The original version of the controversial "gay propaganda" law was adopted in 2013, banning "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" - depictions of same sex-relationships - among children.
It categorises any positive depictions of same-sex relationships in mass media or advertising under the same umbrella as distributing pornography, the promotion of violence, or stoking racial, ethnic and religious tensions.
Advertising, books and films with positive presentations of LGBT people will be banned - raising concerns from publishers who have warned that it could affect classics of Russian literature.
Any discussions online about LGBT topics can be blocked and the sale of goods with LGBT slogans or symbols would also be prohibited.

I'm an optimist, as people reading my stories certainly understand.
You are, and we adore you for it! 😉

A good tale, but then it goes without saying - all Cole Parker tales are good.
I do have a wee problem with the end. In my view Aunt Alice should go straight to hell (without collecting $200) where she is prodded, poked and gibbered at by demons... for eternity.

Terrific news! But please don't overdo it.

It's all this modern new-fangled tech. Either you have it or you don't... Luddites rule!

It's been an age since I last read this wonderful tale.
Thank you James!

The worst, however, is the dog. He insists we're an hour late feeding him.
And he'd be right!

I (the crazy bird says proudly) have an air fryer AND a microwave!

Can we see this "male member" so we can judge for ourselves? Asking for a friend...
Doubtful. Bruin's always been reticent when it comes to wafting his member about.

Ours did it's thing at 2am on the 31st - which gave me an extra hour of snoozing. Thankfully most 'devices' update themselves, except the microwave.

I seem to remember he's a teacher...

Thank you, John. That's terrific news!

Much like the two above I haven't read Laika in yonks.
Terrific!
I miss EleCivil's humour...

That's GREAT NEWS!!!
Welcome back, Mike!

Most excellent!!! I think it slots into the timeline after 'The Golden Porifor', which I'm going to have to re-read...
I wish there was a story bible available.

Thanks for keeping us updated, John.
All my fingers and toes are crossed for a speedy recovery.
Get better soonest, Mike!

Now, just a few months later, here in the UK, the idea of boiling a kettle is frightening. 24/7 Hot tubs are now well out of my league. Soon, of course, baths and showers will only be in the purview of the uber rich. The rest of us will be back in the 16th century - washing once a year, and wearing nosegays to hide the stench of the rest of the 8... 9... 10 billion.
Oh lordy, how I want a hot tub!
