Never asked if you were able to get rid of all the dog hair that Snipe so lovingly gifted to your seat covers...


Blimey, things *have* changed since my last visit.

All cleaned up apart fom the odd one that keeps appearing.

It seems that since we saw you I have gone from not cycling at all to leading a cycle club. Not sure how that happened

It's her way of saying she likes you.

Well done with the cycling but how is the walking coming along?

It is a motif at the start of Apocalypse Now, and look how that ended up.

The horror.........The horror......

Baby pidgeon....
He seems happy after saving him or she from the nasty cat....

Update: Car tyre appears to be holding up fine. The car has been told to stop being such an attention seeking prima donna.

Thats the way, reassert your dominance. I hope you kicked the tyre too.....

My assistant at work Naela has invited me round to break fast with her this evening. This is a first for me and I am very much looking forward to it.

The question is, should I take a scarf to cover my head? I understand that she and her husband will say special prayers before the fast is broken and I don't want to offend.

Ask her.

It is far too hot for gardening today, I agree.

The only gardening I will be doing this weedend is reclining in the lounger in the shade. There is a very large berberis which gives oodles of cool shade. Until, that is, Bob decides it is the coolest place for him to lie on top of me. At one stage, we were sharing the sun hat. I think he would like a sun hat, but not sure where to get one in his size.

I took my plants outside for a good dose of sunshine and a thorough watering

Four limes and 12 orchids.

Was up at quarter past five this morning. Joint SCA / OCA cat show in Moulton - travelled with a friend who picked me and Lexi up just before seven. Good job my friend's car has got air con as it was scorching early doors and worse coming home...

Lexi got the reserve Grand in both shows, BOB in both and a first in each of her two side classes. Not bad considering the disaster at CamCats. She was a bit whingey and whiney, but the hall was so hot, so not entirely surprised. Ended up helping with the results board plus sorting prize cards and rosettes. Lexi got a lovely special from one of her judges which was a really nice touch. I don't get specials come my way very often, so it means a lot when they do.

I have also somehow managed to get myself roped into stewarding at the Eastern Counties.

Gonna have a quiet evening and watch Trooping the Colour on i-player.

Oh, and Poppy has stolen the valerian mouse I'd bought for my neighbour's cat.

Never seen it.

Imagine Joseph Conrad's(Korzeniowski, @Reynard ) Heart of Darkness, transposed to 1970's Viet-Nam.
Are you a warrior?
Or are you an errand boy,
sent by grocery clerks,
to collect an unpaid bill?
People tell me Walter in The Big Lebowski was patterned after John Milius, who wrote Apocalypse Now.

The two fans that I put in the loft hatch give about 50 air changes per hour. It's still hotter than Dutch love up there.

It's probably too late now but it's the kind of thing you could always have asked about. It wouldn't have caused offence, I'm sure. Enjoy, and I hope you're hungry - they'll be famished after such a long day of fasting and they'll have cooked accordingly.

Meanwhile, there was a little egret in the Creek today - I love seeing animals like that in the Smoke. And I learned a new word today: thrawn. It was a long-time-ago neighbour at the family home paying a visit. She was referring to her son. Stubborn, pig-headed, fit the context she used it in. I can be thrawn when I need to now.

Thrawn is a great word, although my understanding of the definition differs.

edit: I would use it as "ill-tempered" rather than "stubborn"

Do you have other words to give a better sense of the ''definition''? (Oh, by the way, great work against the Aussies!)
