Is he there on a day out from Holmfirth?

Thought the local post mistress swept him of his feet, taking him to live, in sin, in Blackpool.

What have you done set fire to them.

Nope. But they have been known to get so close to the fire that their fur starts to singe...

Moved a whole load of wood this morning before the rain set in, put away the cat food I bought yesterday (I'm good for about three months on wet food now), paid the VED, bought stamps and dropped off mum's prescription.

Now I'm going to have a spot of lunch. Thinking sausage sandwiches...

It's absolutely chucking it down here.

Although, the bike does need a wash

Keeps thinking about raining here, but hasn't quite worked up the gumption yet.

Our cats used to brush their tails against the parafin heater. Smells something awful!

Apple tree pruned. Whitebeam pruned. Mountain Ash pruned. Holly pruned. Another shrub I can't spell pruned. Another shrub of indeterminate origin pruned.

Ironing done.

Woodburner lit, as it's now pi**ing it down.

Urgh, I can imagine. The stink of paraffin *added* to the stink of singed fur.

Ghastly.

 

[Reynard]

It is

Started around 3. It's also blowing a bit of a gale.

My long gone Kissa did that with a gas fire, walked past it with her tail up and it caught fire. I had to jump up and put it out but then she thought I'd done it and sulked for the rest of the night.
