Those 'Monkey Glands' are really starting to kick in now, you don't look a day over 40.

Very noisy thunderstorm on the North Kent coast!

There was a rumble and a few flashes here earlier but very disappointing on the display scale.

I forgot to count due to the excitement of seeing a hitherto undiscovered spider in the kitchen as I was doing it...I'll try again later.

How is Cocky McCockface? Not too noisy I hope.

Benjamin is hiding at the moment. The girls are picking on him. Poor chap, he's only a baby. They're in for a shock in a couple of months' time

Five hours until the Bank Holiday. The weather will decide if tomorrow we walk around Ladybower, or we trogg round Chatsworth house

Genuine question - why don't you keep your cats in at night? I thought this was recommended practice to protect small birds and other wildlife from the huge population of what is really a non-native predator.

Mine would go nuts plus they will bring in "kills" during the day too. Cats are nocturnal by nature so having them diving around the house in the early hours is no fun.

2 good options...bike around Rutland and lunch at the Finches for option 3 ?

In the days before Cat-flaps it was traditional to 'put the Cat out' overnight.

Idiot Dog is lame this morning. Poor thing tried to tell me last night but I was too tired to interpret. No heat or obvious signs of swelling or injury. We've been out for a short potter so she can have a wee and she's now snoring and using my foot as a pillow.

We've always kept all of our cats that we've had in at night. Trained from the first days of kittenhood, so it's just routine now. It still brings us the odd present during the day though.

I don't think I would have another cat. I get too much enjoyment from the birds who visit my garden.

Before I moved here I lived in a flat in town, my Cat at the time was kept indoors cos of the traffic, she never went out.

I am now trying to encourage some more birds in, they seemed strangely reluctant whilst Puma was asleep in the garden.
Once this current round of decorating is finished (this lunchtime ) I will get started.
