And I don't even want to talk about launch codes.

Some horses have just trotted past my window. Their hoofs sounded like someone was tapping coconut shells together.

Hurricane should go up the west coast, but the winds will still get to maybe 75 mph gusts, and sustained winds in the 40's. The problem is that emergency vehicles don't go out if winds get over 35mph(!) there, which seems cautious in the extraordinary, but I'm not there so I don't know. I'd say that there is still some danger, but if everybody follows recommendations it shouldn't get to be a tough situation.

It would be extremely difficult for my Aunt to move. She is ninety-nine years old, and is almost housebound due to a stroke five years ago. Boca Raton, is on the east coast I think.

On a lighter note, before anyone does the sums, my Uncle (on my Father's side) married someone twenty years older than him.

@Renard - (and anyone else owned by a cat) - Can you suggest a cat food for an elderly cat with only two teeth? Tasha has two large ones at the front, both on the same side. She is currently sucking the jelly off the Whiskas or Felix chunks in jelly, or is there a way of making the chunks softer? Preferably a reasonably priced cat food, not necessarily "gourmet".

You could try Felix sachets, they seem to be more like proper food rather than reconsecrated chunks, that is unless your cat only likes certain brands.

Mash it up with a fork

Tasha is sending a furry hug to you.

It took a while for her to eat it, and I made sure Bob was out, so he could not push her aside and scoff it. She has now gone outside with a fairly full tummy. He eye is looking slightly better, but still very red and swollen. She is being a brave kittizen regarding the eye drops.

Yes, Boca Raton is on the east, or Atlantic Coast, but in the hurricane scale of wind fields, they can take up the whole peninsula. Boca is just north of Palm Beach, IIRC.

I think she is ecumenical in her choice of cat food.

The current box (of 48) is Whiskas chunks in Jelly. I sometimes buy Felix in jelly, depends what Ocado have on special offer.

Thank you for that info. I could not work out where Boca Raton was in relation to the other (bigger) cities on the weather warning maps on tinternet.

 

[Gravity Aided]

It's about midway between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, and almost due west of Freeport in the Bahamas.

I meant south, still early morning here.

I take no pleasure in riding in the rain.

Mountain biking is not so bad as you expect to get messed up.

I beat the rain home, I just had a couple of showers to ride through, the unpleasant one was on the high speed descent from the Barby water tower to the A45, the wind was blowing the rain in my eyes and causing vision problems, apart from that it wasn't a bad ride. 57 miles ridden, which is a bit of a bonus with the way the weather has been.

I should be in The King & Queen watching football with Toad. Instead I am watching some bloke change tyres on the car in Kwikfit.

Parp! Parp!

 

[Reynard]

I think you've earned yourself a pat on the back.

Pat... butter...

Thank you. Was worth it though, tastes so much nicer than a lot of bought butter. Worth the faffage, but need to streamline my technique.

As others have said, mash it up. It will be easier if you add a wee bit of warm water prior to mashing.

Otherwise, there are some reasonable pate-style foods around e.g. gourmet gold or hi life petit pate, though you might have to look around for the latter.
