Unethical life pro tip: use NFC Tools and NFC Tasks on Android to set up a Max Volume/Delay 30 Seconds/Play Ringtone task on an NFC tag. Put that tag on your laptop or notebook.

Hey EU friends experiencing the heat wave please remember to:

Keep water with you at all times, stay hydrated

Wear loose fitting clothing so your body can keep cool

Avoid spending excess time in parked vehicles

Avoid excess soda, alcohol, or caffiene

Eat foods with high water content (chilled fruits, etc)

If you feel dizzy, have goosebumps/chills, nausea, rapid pulse, difficulty breathing, or an intense headache drink lots of water and rest.

Now, the usual solution to cats eating hedgehog food is to put the food in a box with a hole that hedgehogs can get through but cats can't

That doesn't work in this case because big hedgehog is the same size as your average cat

Just had to chase a cat out of the garden, not our cat, was nicking the hedgehog food

We know where the little sod lives, we've had to carry it back there before
