Kitizen update: Kitts settled in very well, with the odd fisticuffs with Bob. They can now eat in the same place in the kitchen, and have been known to touch noses. Now they sort of chase each other around the house, but without the usual waving of paws and growling.

Kitts is now called Kizzy. Thanks to @raleighnut for making me aware of that as a possible name.

None of the Star Trek names seemed to suit her, and the one that might have like Guinan, did not shorten very well. I know that Lexi will be disappointed that her name was not chosen. Kizzy went to the Vet yesterday and her comportment was excellent.

Kizzy was named after my sadly departed Kissa a tricolour/calico cat with attitude, Kizzy had the similar characteristics to her as a Kitten in that they both were 'attack kittens' though very cuddly once playtime was over.

At the time I got Kissa I had a girlfriend from Finland and after struggling to find a suitable name for my new Kitten I asked Sari what cat was in Soumi, Kissa (pronounced Key-sah) people always said "Oh that's a lovely name" then seemed disappointed when I told them it was just Cat in another language.

I may have been slightly optimistic - regarding my chosen gear ratio, running studded tyres on Welsh roads

Legs are killing me

We had a very light snow flurry in Cambridge a short while ago. Jack was sitting at the patio doors, watching it and wishing it was heavier. He loves the snow.

And the gin club have emailed to say the December bottle is on its way...!

Snowed at ours too

Funerals are
On the one hand it's sad saying 'bye, on the other hand it's great to see people you've not seen in years.
Nice to be back in Nottingham for a night even though the occasion is

Yay! Excellent. Sounds like she and Bob are going to be besties.

But that certainly explains why Lexi's been a mardy little bag this morning...

 

[Reynard]

It was!...Another one was boned, rolled and slathered in homemade pesto. Lamb breast could be the new pork belly, but for now it's cracking value for money .

Mmmmm, you might be right. I'm coming on over

 

[Reynard]

Bloomin' here too. Not had any snow, but there are some threatening clouds rolling in. Joy, I have to head off to March after lunch.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Very nice indeed.

Malaysian chicken laksa soup was just the ticket. Bacon butty with good quality beacon and bread helped too. Coffee now and a train home.

Where was that ?

We drove up to Bernaray this morning. Rather cold but very beautiful. This is the island of white sand and crystal clear blue waters just 50 degrees less than the Maldives.

You can see the snow tipped hills on Harris in one photo.

Good bit of beachcombing done and crab claws for lunch.

Now to pack up the car before supper with friends, an early night before a 5hr ferry trip across the Atlantic to Oban then down to Norfolk for the night to drop off goodies before finally heading for home and cuddles with Sasha

Well that was a slightly shortened ride to Hatton locks this morning, 52 bitter cold miles. The temperature wasn't bad, around freezing, but the villain of the ride was a strong and bitter wind, the type that just blows through you instead of blowing round you, I've been back an hour and have just about thawed out.

Helped a guy with his helmet on backwards (cool?) lock more than his front wheel with his impressive reinforced steel chain.

Bleak.

Bleak.

It's not Manchester.

Now that's bleak.
