I went to the bicycle co-op this noon, helped fix a fellows' 1970 or thereabout Raleigh Competition, full 531. Very nice bicycle. He was understandable when he spoke, so I'm guessing he's an expat.

I have eaten too much.

But man, was that lasagne gooooooooooooood...

 

[Lullabelle]

We get that with 'Woody', a former feral that lives a couple of doors away, he's always hissing/growling and chasing our cats and yet he's been neutered. On the other hand 'Fluff' who is still a full Tom is never nasty to our cats.

He has never acted like this before, they have come close to each other, our girl has hissed and howled at him, fur standing up but he hasn't reacted so we thought maybe he just wanted a pal.

 

[Reynard]

Maybe something upset him and he just took out his frustration on the nearest thing...

Happens.

Took Lexi to a small breed show a couple of years or so ago, and just after we'd got set up in the show hall, an entire male sprayed in his pen and stank the whole place out. When I went to give Lexi her breakfast, she freaked out and shredded me because she couldn't get to the boy to give him the old what for. For the record, she *hates* entire cats.

Anything like this one from the 80's?

I had to launder my duvet cover as Madam Lexi barfed a furball on it........

No, no, that's not what happened. Your cat was attempting to speak Welsh.

Once they get an idea in that 'walnut' brain of theirs it's hard to change it. our 5 are pretty easy going as they're all different ages and used to other Cats turning up (Maz reckons we've a 5* rating on the moggie version of 'trip advisor') in fact FiFi just wandered down the garden one day and hasn't moved out yet and we know her 'life story' and have officially adopted her.

Mainly with Cats though I love their diversity and independence................well they're independent til they want feeding or a cuddle.

ROFL!!!

And then you get the "stare" Failing that, one razor sharp claw jammed in your glutes...

No Kizzy goes for the full set, her other trick is grooming me but it's 'Lick, lick, lick, chomp '

Speaking of Welsh people I went to see Barry play last night,

Hard to believe he's a pensioner now.

EDIT - BTW Barry is the Guitar player

Reminds me of a friend's tortie and white. She's pint-sized, about 2kg wet through, but god that girl's got serious 'tude...

It was nice and sunny this afternoon so I thought I would have another go at making my Sprint's wheelarch. Whilst I was out there I noticed quite a few gliders soaring in some thermals. I wondered if they were in some sort of cross country race.

Sounds like my Kissa, she was a beggar, Kizzy is sort of named after her (At the time I'd met a girl from Finland and still looking for a name for my little bundle of claws I asked what cat was in Finnish/Soumi "Kissa" she said so it stuck)

LOL...

Cosette was chucked over a garden wall in a burger king bag, with a massive open wound on the back of her neck. She was three weeks old.

Now some three years down the line, she rules a household of eight other cats and two miniature schnauzers with an iron paw. You just don't mess with her. She'll bite me if I don't give her treats quickly enough...
