Shortbread fingers

Dutch Boterkokje taste just like Shortbread.

Whiskers kitten food. Mostly She does try. By standing on the "lip", of the litter tray, and scrapping said lip. If I'm there I go in with poo bag and remove it, Pink then looks round and looks at me as if to say, "I did a bang up job of burying that!"
Although I think the uncovered poop was in retaliation for me being out at work for 10 hours.......

It could be that the cat is trying to tell you that it doesn't like Whiskers. My cats hated the stuff!

No wind up here.

Dinky made a "Speed of the Wind " racing car .

Morning.
The sun is lighting up the houses opposite with a nice yellow glow . Looks like it's going to be another nice day .

Has anyone seen many Daddy Long Legs about ? I've only seen 2. We used to get plagued with them !

Slippers have a strange effect on cats ! First of all they like to bury their heads deep inside and then the next moment they beat the hell out of them !

I can’t recall having seen so many spiders in the house as there have been this year.All shapes and sizes but not Daddy Long Legs.

Yep, i once came across a load of posts from a fence that had been taken down and asked the bloke if I could have em and when he said OK fetched the trailer for the bike so i could bring em home* (he was glad to see the back of them) so I got a dozen 4" square 6' posts but as well there had been a pergola so there were 4 Oak posts also the same size, they burnt lovely down inti embers.

* possibly the biggest load ever on the trailer, it's rated to carry 50kg but it was probably more than that.....took some effort pedalling home

You should have asked him to post them to you 😖😖😖😖

I'm listening to the Staus Quo Aquostics album

My favourite group. On the odd occasions I use the turbo I try to keep my pedal rate to the beat of the music Can be somewhat knackering on some tracks.

Two lessons learned today and this morning in particular:

1/. Never trust a cat on the stairs! Little

2/. Never, ever, EVER put quinoa in with your porridge! Made a delicious breakfast awful.

Lovely bright morning here

But very cold

Some sausages, bacon and black and white pudding in the grill to set me up for today's ride

Lovely and sunny here too but it'll be another wet week again from tomorrow. But, a long weekend to look forward to, Thurs to Sun, as it's the Mid-Autumn Festival here. Usually a big deal with firework displays and parties but it's going to be a subdued one due to Covid.

Will start cooling down here from about now on, thankfully.

Went yellow stickering in Tesco - usual Saturday night gang all present and correct. Outside of the counters, there wasn't much to be had - all I picked up elsewhere was baby sweetcorn, sugar snap peas, salad onions, a mango, a punnet each of raspberries and strawberries and a pack of croissants.

There was a bit of a scrum for the meat off the counters, less so for the fish, but I think everyone ended up being happy with what they got. I picked up chipolatas, a beef roasting joint and the piece de resistance - a whole side of salmon.

What do you mean by salad onions? Are they the fat spring onions that have become regular visitors to my fridge's salad compartment?

Did you think of getting an enclosed litter tray, keeps the whiff down. We've got a couple similar to this.

Ah, but he wanted them Post Haste...

My head thinks I'm hungry but my stomach doesn't agree. I'm caught in this internal eat-don't eat dialogue. Can anybody recommend any good food for thought?
