Morning .
It is grey here . I will have to take my Jag to a garage for them to have a look at the hair conditioning . Well I hope they do more than look at it !
Yesterday I said that one of our water butts was leaking . Well 2 others have now come out in sympathy ! . It would seem to be a failure of the plastic over time as we have some much older which are still fine .

Could somebody clarify just how small the Small Business Minister is ? I would like to know ?

Perhaps they should provide a scale with him so that people could be reassured just how small he is .

Thought I read somewhere about not asking political questions on this section.

Anyway they are of average height as I wouldn't want to offend anyone 😉

Lovely sunny day with little wind. My get up and go has gone elsewhere tho' so will just get some chores done and sit in the sun today I think.
War broken out again on FB about motorhomes and parking with one taking up 4 spaces in the crammed car park. The second home and holiday letting homes also getting stick as at least one business has shut down due to several factors. They cannot get workers as there is nowhere for them to stay and they are being evicted from their rented premises as the building is being converted into holiday lets.

Colour rendition is very good. I like the way DSLRs give you the same "pop" that slide film did back in the day, but without all the faff and drawbacks.

I reckon it's worth persisting with that.

Yes . I was quite surprised by how the colours came out . I can remember how reds used to leap out on Kodachrome 64, a bit like they were sticking out of the slide .

very nice, I like the color saturation on overcast days. storm brewing?

Thanks .
Just a couple of small showers , not enough to wash the car in .

We've had 3 cats 'move in' to the house, first was 'Whitey' who used to live in an abandoned car. then there was 'Fluff' a black and white long hair and the latest is 'Fifi, another black and white.

You must be getting a bit of a name amongst the cat community ?

A lack of joined up thinking there, or possibly an example of real world Karma...

I feel sorry for you .
Greed Merchants ! We are also p****d off with all the homes being built around here. It looks like another town is being added on . The homes are being thrust upon us by County Hall . There's no real work here apart from supermarkets which seem to be popping up everywhere . The main employer basically moved out years ago . The homes are for people to move into the area and commute , not for locals .

You could look at the Nextdoor site for your area (assuming you have one). People round here are always posting 'Has anybody found my runaway cat' messages.

Edited to add: The cats usually turn up too!

Yes trying that too. Had one that looked a lot like him, but it turned out to be a different cat. I hope she finds him

Yep, one of next doors cats moved in for a bit too when they got a dog

Kids round you go to school at 2-3am!

Things just keep getting better!
I booked my car into a garage for them to check the air con system . They just rang to say that they have noticed an oily residue coming from the right hand side where I noticed a damp patch the last time we used the car . I am waiting to hear back from them as to how much a replacement would cost . I am sitting down !
