Yeah... I mean it's a purrfect piece of design (grooming fur, licking meat from bones) but owwwwwwww!

Lexi's tongue is also much rougher than Poppy's, so it obviously varies between individuals.

I wonder if the R&D team included these possibilities in their designing

Well, the didn't get in and the alarm was quite loud. Shame that 6" spikes and 240v couldn't be part of the deterrent!

Almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Interesting that two of our cats; siblings, occasionally feel it necessary to 'wash' my hair, but fortunately, not at the same time - ! An unusual sensation.

I haven't got that bad yet fortunately, but that is sad. I applied for mine as soon as I was 60. I'll be 63 on Thursday but still haven't actually used it. Don't know why as we get so little perks these days. I should just jump on the bus into Perth and browse the shops and have a coffee to pass a few hours when I'm at a loose end.

I have never had one I’ve often been asked why.The bus that runs through our village only goes to Leicester.Hinckley which is approximately 9 miles away there is no direct service This would mean either walking a mile and half to the A47main road or catching a bus to Leicester Forest East to return via the rout back on the A47 If you haven’t got a car The new Fosse Park shopping Blaby a large village with good shops is difficult to get to without having first to go into Leicester We shopped regularly in Hinckley
but stopped during Covid Now we shop on line for groceries and only drive when necessary.
We have to travel as the village only has a small Co Op It is an Area earmarked for more residential residential development No new surgery shops identified or extension to the local school which is under pressure
Early birthday greetings

I'm a large pot of vegetable soup and have some nice wheaten bread sitting ready

I've heard of the "I'm a little teapot ..." song, but never "I'm a large pot of vegetable soup ..". How's it go?

I went to fetch a bottle cage from the bike parts shed.

Pulling it out I snagged a tyre which was on a hook.

That caught one of the shelving units, which fell on me.

As it fell that caught a second shelving unit, which landed on the first.

SWMBO eventually wandered outside to ask if I was OK having heard me shouting.

I'm now dis-entangled but dazed as that first parts shelf landed on the back of my head/neck, compounded by the second unit.



All because son no. 2 lost his bike's (new) bottle cage on the retro ride we did this morning, saying "it fell off somewhere back there"

Why have I got a picture of Kenny Everett and his handyman Reg sketch.

I forgot to mention that I applied some Dubbin to my walking boots yesterday.

Now steady on this is supposed to be a mundane news thread,dubbin boots is an all action thread.

just don't repay the favor. at some point, in my childhood, I licked a cat's head, to see what all the fuss was about & got a mouthful of fur! yuk! dumb kids ...

Thinking of flower shows reminded me of the time I entered a medium size vegetable marrow which was a perfect shape but had a long split about an inch wide. I carefully filled the split with Pollyfilla and with watercolour painted the bit to match the rest of the marrow. Result first prize.
