The cat does have a loving home, the only thing is it’s a busy home , with three other cats , two children under 6, six rabbits and two dogs . 😀.
I think she comes for some piece and quiet.
They used to have a black cat that visited us and our neighbours a lot for about a year. That was until it decided to live permanently at another house three streets away. 😂😂

At least one of the cats that visited us came from a house with three small children. Another has lived permanently in four different houses. She started with our next door but one neighbours, moved in with us, then moved about ½ mile up the road and she's now moved in with our neighbours parents.

I must say I rather like the way so many of our village cats come and go as they please. Where do I fancy today? Hmmm......I'll pop round to Paul's and see if he's in. 🤣

George, who's recently moved in next door, definitely has an eye on us. His house is being gutted, there's no peace and quiet from dawn to dusk!!!

Well, hello. First today, I'd rather not be. I've done the cryptic crossword disappointingly quickly and this week's Saturday one is general knowledge, fifth US president etc. I'm rubbish at those.

We are excited. Rovers at home today. Five wins on the bounce and winning ugly. The young lad in my LBS was far too optimistic on Thursday. This is Rovers, I've seen it all, I know how it goes........but I'm still excited and thinking "this is a game we should win." This is a very, very, very bad thought! 🤣

As this is a cycling forum I should mention bike fettling. My saddle pouch keeps slipping down and obscuring the Varia light. I need a hack and will rummage in my box of bits. Plus the Varia mount broke yesterday. I need a hack for that as well. Life is one long hack. Sometimes I get hacked off with it. Stop it Paul, just stop. Oh. OK.

I'm also hungry. Is cheese on toast OK at 4.55am?

Morning. Minus 2 and all sparkly out there. Last cold one for a few days. Only problem is the milder days to come are also going to bring rain with them.

@PaulSB cheese on toast good at any time imo.
Had to get up for a pee break at 3.30 and after recent nights I assumed that was it. However I managed to doze on and off till 5.30.
Getting ready for SoTS at 6.00.
Its a TV sports day with footy, golf and darts to pick from.
And I think I am on a full cooked breakfast at 10ish.

Good morning folks. Granddaughter sleepover last night, watched a few Dennis the Menace cartoons on BBC iplayer 😁. Wimborne Christmas Parade this afternoon so we'll be taking her there. Possibly a second sleepover tonight so will definitely need a rest tomorrow.

Morning all

Weather's looking a bit better today, so I'll be doing a bit of tidying up in the gardens and maybe have a run out on my AJS later.
Still looking for a winter project; got my eye on a couple, but undecided which to go for.

I might be childish but lately I have been enjoying watching Wile E Cyote........ I still chuckle at them.
Would your granddaughter perhaps enjoy that?

Has anyone heard from @screenman lately? He is very quiet.

Stay safe peeps

I love him. Haven't seen those cartoons for years and years.

Will pop over to see FiL today.

Morning all, car cleaning this morning.

Good morning all.
Another rainy start to the day here.
Like many others I loved watching the Loony Tunes cartoons, but for years now they are not shown on mainstream TV.
Is there a cartoon channel somewhere that shows them?

Was only thinking that yesterday.
