"You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours ! "
I was just having a shower when the phone rang . Thinking that there was nobody at home I stepped out of the shower wrapped a towel around me and went to answer it . My wife had answered it so I went back into the room to dry myself . Whilst I was towelling my top Schrodie was drying my legs by rubbing up against me ! Seems fair enough I thought as I often dry him with a towel when he comes in soaking wet .

I usually try to dry my cats with a towel, if they are very wet. Some cats are not very happy being dried.

The Swiss Army Knife wood saw is surprisingly efficient for its size.

Gosh! Did someone dare to suggest you may not be giving the best advice?

Not quite

It's more that the fancy shmanzy purpose-made protective gear isn't made to fit a 4ft 11 gal with curves.

And so I have to make do with simply being sensible.

Reply? What are you thinking, reply? There's only one language some people understand, and besides, you've seen "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", haven't you?

Yebbut, isn't that a bit... umm... unsubtle?

 

[Reynard]

Right, better go and retrieve the laundry, stack the latest lot of logs and do the litter trays. Then I'm gonna bum park and watch some snooker.

I narrowly avoided a duck this morning.

That's the vagaries of cricket for you....






Mines the white coat.

Eh, you're on a sticky wicket now.

 

[Reynard]

Right, chores done.

Settling down to a and some very nice black grapes.

Speaking of cats...

Poppy and Lexi were reporting a hungry, so I've just fed them.

I hate D.I.Y.

The waste pipe the washing machine drains into is blocking up with that horrible grey sludge. This is resulting in the waste water going up the stack pipe and flooding the utility room.

I called our plumber, but he can’t look at it until next Thursday. Oh God! With five of us in the house I’ll be up to my ears in dirty smalls by then.

There’s nothing else for it. I’m going to have to sort it myself. Did I tell you how much I hate D.I.Y.?

As the water trap under the sink is also leaking I’ll think I’ll attempt to do a proper job and replace all the grotty old waste pipework with new.

Hmmmm... solvent weld or push fit?

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

Oh, and happy to report that I managed to stay conscious for my blood test today.

What a big boy.

Just seen a robin taking some nesting material into the ivy on our garden fence.

Looks like we could have babies again soon

*they have however completely ignored the two robin specific nest boxes I put up just a few feet away
