Fingers crossed you can reunite him with his Humans.

If you get stuck, want me to put you in touch with some of the Siamese people? I only know folk in this region (East Anglia) but there is a good grapevine going with the northern clubs. Plus there's the Siamese Cat Welfare Trust.

Cat and human reunited. Someone walked past the house calling “Zum Zum… Zummy”
“Is Zum Zum a cat?”
”Yes”
”Brief description?”
”Siamese”
Hover Fly brings Zummy out, Zummy wails as only a Siamese can and shoots over to his lady.
. It transpires he is usually kept indoors, but when he gets out he goes to any house he likes the look of.

fond memories from childhood. those were weird little hats

Um.. thats not good yesterday. That electrical tingle which I had blamed on a toaster returned with a blue flash and the earth leakage breaker shutting everything down. Pulled the oven out this morning and after a fight got it's lead in cover off to find the earth lead detached. Refitted and all terminals re tightened.
Meanwhile woke up up overnight with toothache. Applied some nulling toothpaste which worked for 3 hours until I had to do it again . Just been to see a dentist, not my normal one, who could not find anything wrong. Something tells me it's going to a long weekend.

your teeth are rebelling

I'll be right back; I'm boiling an egg so I'll need to concentrate.

Do you split your TwinFast from your SupaDrive. Your Philips from your Posidrive.

No. Should I?

 

[classic33]

No. Should I?

Philips and Posidrive are two separate head types.

 

[Aristotle Kristatos]

Philips and Posidrive are two separate head types.

What's that got to do with splitting them up.

I'm in planning mode for a camping expedition in May with No1 daughter. 🎪

I know. I imagined you were suggesting segregating my screw drivers, but with a little extra thought I suspect you mean segregating my screws. I don't do the former, but I certainly do the latter.

Nowt worse than trying to drive a Philips headed screw home with a Posidrive screwdriver.

How's the concentrating going?

Well, trying to drive a slot headed screw with a Philips or a Pozidrive would probably be a bit of a chore.
