Glad to see he's on the mend! Nice photos

In the last week Mrs GM has been having a battle with PetPlan, I'm just glad I'm not on the receiving end!

Thanks for the warning

How's Henry's foot? Better I hope.

Yes he has been chasing Sasha around and no sign of a limp at all.

Boys !!

[QUOTE 4665201, member: 21629"]Security alarm in our house in my country. Model unknown, installed in our house 9 years ago.

Additional features:

• Impossible to shut up until gets tired.
  
• Bites everything that moves. If it doesn't move - she moves it and then bites (e.g. forgotten jacket on a lamp post). Our cat was an exception because he introduced himself by punching her face few times...with his nails. Before she bited him.
  
• Can be temporarily hacked by offering her a sweet. Takes a sweet and then bites.
  
• Basic software installed only so doesn't understand any orders.
  
• Remembers master user though she sees me once a year. Greeting feature - she tiddles on my shoes.

Famous across our village because of the 2nd feature. Tenderly called "beast" by strangers. [/QUOTE]

Hah, that reminds me of this: http://andreas.com/catman/

There's a linky to dog one at the bottom of the page as well.

Pasta bake tonight chez Casa Reynard - good way of using up random stuff... Sauce is in the slow cooker; carton of passata, slow-roasted tomatoes, olives, balsamic-preserved onions, shallots, garlic and oregano. A while ago I turned a pack of Powters sausages into mini meatballs and popped those in. Pasta is on the go. Just need to sort out some cheese to put on top and wang the lot in the oven.

Gawd, that pasta bake was lush... Got enough for tomorrow as well.

Love my slow cooker - put stuff in and magic happens.

Don't you need one last morning photo before you go?

I was thinking the same thing.
@User14044 Whatever the weather, please take one last early morning photo. Good luck with your move.

You sound quite cheffy. You should join the cooking bites forum.

Oh, here's the wee bike that's the cause of all my googling - a Hercules Ranger. 16 inch frame, 20 x 1 3/8 wheels, rod-operated brakes...

Forgetting to switch mine on before going to work, is often a source of disappointment to me

There should be a steering lock at the top of the forks. Which is why they look over built.

I can't say I ever noticed one... Back in the day I saved it from a skip and just rode it.
