I was just thinking about a bit on The Sky at Night last night which got me going was how to find Saturn which is visible this month. It is easy to locate according to the presenter, just look for a certain star constellation and there it is. Well if I was that much of an expert I wouldn't need his help in finding it!

It's okay! Somebody has put a ring round it so I should be able to find it easily next time.

@raleighnut is right about it being bad for their teeth but Sasha is such a fussy and small eater, that if she eats it I buy it.

Until of course she goes off it

In that respect, I'm really, really lucky as the girls are pretty catholic in their food tastes. OK, they won't eat any Whiskas wet - their preferred basic wet is the Felix AGAIL, but they're more than happy to have a crack at Gourmet Mon Petit, the little Sheba pouches, Applaws, Encore, Hi-life Tempt Me etc. They're also partial to their raw meals, which since the meat is in nice chunks, is good for their teeth. Plus the odd snacks-on-legs as well...

One wet food that really goes down like a lead balloon here (other than Whiskas) are the Royal Canin pouches. I've had them as freebies and prizes at cat shows, but the girls think I'm trying to poison them. Now I just give the pouches to a friend who has a cat who will *only* eat the RC wet food LOL

The girls are happy with the RC dry (I usually feed either the sensible 33 or the outdoor 30) but will also happily chow down on Hills, Burns and Arden Grange if any comes my way as samples, raffle prizes etc. Don't feed Iams or the cheapies due to constipation & barfage issues...

I am making tomato chutney today. The tomatoes I bought on YS previous week have finally ripened, so best crack on after lunch...

 

[Speicher]

Tasha now has choice of Purina Gourmet Broth with Tuna and Shrimp, Sheba Sauce Lover with Salmon, Gourmet Solitaire with Chicken, and Pecan plait. The Sheba will be served first when Tasha is in and Bob is out.

I somehow think she will not like the Pecan plait because of the nuts, so on second thoughts, I will be eating that.

It's getting very windy out there.

It's getting very windy out there.

Been windy all day here, just got soaked whilst out at the supermarket.

New lady on the till said 'Is the rain always like this here?'

Not sure if she meant the UK or Mancland

Well, I knew who stole it (a friend of one of our tenants) so that tenant was given 3 choices: get the bike back, pay me money to buy another 2nd hand bike or I'll report a theft to police stating tenants name as prime suspect.[/QUOTE]
Result.

*Wheeeeeeeeeee* @User21629 how neat is that?

 

[Reynard]

Tomato chutney is simmering away. Having to cook it a bit more slowly than usual, because the pot is a bit full, and I don't have a bigger pot.

Took my life into my own hands earlier in the garden whilst picking some bramleys for the chutney - was being bombarded by pears that are only fit to be sold to the military for ammunition... Let's just say it's a wee bit blowy here.
