Missed that these were dropping, looks like I chose the right moment to get distracted and decide to see what was on the site today.

@louisbosco Got it in one. Yes it is.

@Alex Sorry for the delay in getting back to you mate - I've been laid low this week by a stomach bug that's doing the rounds.

We use this lead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Halti-Double-Ended-Lead-Red/dp/B07JM68Q78/ref=sr_1_7

It's quite versatile as the various attachment points allow you to use it at various lengths depending on how much freedom you want pooch to have. Or the second clip also allows you to use it on two-point harness, which can be helpful for teaching dogs not to pull.

The other places to attach clips also allow you to easily make a loop and wear it around your neck without creating a literal noose!

We've had the same lead for 4+ years now, so it seems to last, no complaints from us!

@Lynne

I'd 100% buy an IH woggle to wear on my bandana if you put together some of those! Leather scraps, denim, duck canvas, whatever!

@Matt Just remember what Newton said - the greater the mass, the greater the force of attraction.

@Giles this begs the question, what is sizing agent?

2 looks:

First thing in the morning, had to take Little Miss H to have a bounce on the trampoline at the park.

Fancy dress party, Fred Flintstone didn’t have pockets, so IH bag:

@RobeOfTheMagi

Bashō strokes his beard—
a limerick, crude yet bold.
Even frogs chuckle.

This dirty limerick has had me chuckling for days now:

There once was a surgeon called Keith;
Who circumcised men with his teeth;
T'was not for leisure;
Nor sexual pleasure;
But to get at the cheese underneath.

@americanathreads hey dude, yes, they let me exchange, and the size up, in a wide G fit, 10.5 UK / 45 EU, works great. I will try to remember to post a pic next time I wear them!

Saw my guy (check out dirt_nap_ on insta) for 8 hours today, half of which was drawing and stencilling! To fill the gaps in my sleeve, we put in one more main design on the elbow (the brain with the railway spike, for the idea of “you suffer more in imagination”), then did something we christened a “blast under”, basically adding a load of smaller elements borrowing from the themes we’ve already used and letting those poke out from behind the main pieces, and done in a lighter line weight and just shaded using blackwash. He filled one small gap on the front of the bicep with a round skull in his usual style as a sort of signature. Then he took some nice pics for me to share of the completed (?) sleeve.

@seawolf you and @Ikeaparty need to get a room, and have a good meal in it!

I fancy sardines on toast for lunch now...

@Ikeaparty You gotta take me travelling with you. It looks like you know all the best places to eat.

Looks delicious...

... the ham, not your leg...

...

@Nik Do you go straight to your tattooer from a run? Just noting that you're in your kit. I like the tats you're collecting.

I'm seeing my guy for a whole day on Sunday, hopefully getting all the gaps in my sleeve filled in.

@Nocturama said in Parenting:

got pregnant with their second child within the same 12-month period!!

Would've been the same in our case, but for the fact that we had some difficulties. Little Miss H is the eldest among our parenting group, but Baby H II is also going to be the youngest!

Thanks @SKT @Brian and @endo. I understand that the effort levels required rise exponentially rather than proportionately.

@Brian Luckily, we got a bigger telly in the post-Xmas sales this year, so me and my PlayStation are all set on that front!

I presume its so that if one of them gets lost, their mum can go to the authorities and say "looks like this, but [taller/shorter]".

@Matt Bottle of bleach, a pair of jeans, and a camo stencil bought online, I think you could sort yourself out.

I know nothing but early to mid days at this point. It has been really fun and quite the learning experience.

Pro-tip: go to parenting classes near you if you can. It's not for the information necessarily, which can all be found online. It's to get access to a ready-made, local network of other parents who will be going through the same first-baby thing at the same time as you. Mrs H said that the best thing about it was having a WhatsApp group set up afterwards where if she was up feeding the baby at 3am she knew there was a good chance that at least one of the other new mums would be in the same situation, and they could keep one another sane.
