Now at the hospital for x-rays.

What are your symptoms?
I'm sure we can diagnose better than the medical experts

Although anyone who fancies it could have all of the cats' advent calendar treats, because they turned their noses up at them yesterday.

You buy your cat an advent calendar?

 

[postman]

No, my son's girlfriend bought the cats an advent calendar each.

CC members all pause,thinking of a catty remark.

I did wonder, it sounds more like the sort of thing the female cat owners on here would do

 

[potsy]

I couldn't possibly go down this path

I am in enough trouble, one more indiscretion won't matter

Our frost is dirty.... I think they call it a whore frost though I might be wrong.....

Apparently hoar frost is the white spiky crystalline type.

Manchester's new found poncery has hit another low, though a certain ginger cat owning CC'er may be spending more time up here now..

The Bubble Bath - a boozy mix of Portobello Road gin, violet liqueur, lemon and apple juice, finished with popping candy and maraschino liqueur foam, and served in a plastic bathtub

Last night I called at a friend from club to have a new chain fitted. He kept finding more things wrong with my bike.
The bearings in the headset needed greasing, the break cables need replacing, but the worst thing is that I have worn out the middle chain ring which is why it has been jumping.

Have you had the chainrings replaced. If they were/ are bolted together it may be possible to flip it around, it would give you a few more miles.

The trouble with hoar frost is what its hiding.

I have been on bird/ kitten watch. I locked the cat flap to stop the kitten from going out and chasing the birds, he got bored and took it out on us, climbing up where he shouldn't including my leg with his needle sharp claws. I let him out but kept an eye on him. At the moment we have a couple of wagtails visiting, a Grey Wagtail and either a Pied or White Wagtail which insist on feeding from the ground. My wife has provided plenty of cover for the cats to sneak up on the birds by planting shrubberies, so I was kept busy until the kitten got bored or cold.

Cars usually!

Unless they have ramps and pins to aid shifting, in which case the downside might exceed the benefit.

Things used to be a lot simpler in the old days.

Cars usually!

Black ice, frozen puddles and wet leaves usually.
