It is just hideous this year. I could happily emigrate. Normally I don't mind the vagaries of our weather but this is getting to me

I know what you mean. Last weekend my winter coat was put away, it has now come back out

Depth of field doesn't appear to include the toes. Where exactly did you focus?

In February our local water board were talking about a lack of rain and possible shortages. I think they may have changed their mind.

Last year my total was 19.16", so we've had 44% of last years already.

I saw some Swallows at the auction on Thursday I don't know if they were looking or were placing bids !

No tools have been taken from my toolbox for breakdowns in the packhouse for a whole week. A very good week. I'm getting bored tbh.

Just had to chase our neighbours cat out of the spare bedroom. His owners lock him out all day, no catflap, so he comes in here to stay warm and dry. Can't say I blame him but it is causing issues with our moggy

No rain here, bit on the cool side though.

Just seen a flash of pink at the feeders, turns out to be a bullfinch, first one I've seen

[QUOTE 5227510, member: 9609"]Just opened the garage door and two Swallows flew out, I have been really worried at how late they were getting.

Bob and Kizzy do not have a cat flap. When it is very wet, Bob goes into next door's garden and sits in the window of the little boy's playhouse.

I don't think there are many places around for protection which is why he comes in.

Clearly not big enough to share it with us!!

Actually, it sounds as though it is minuscule, if it exists at all. I suspect our Katherine has selfishly deprived the world of the chance to share her magnificent rich dark fruit cake with inch thick marzipan by eating the whole thing herself. Away with her to the flogging tree, whereon she shall receive a damn good old fashioned thrashing to help re-awaken her community-mindedness in time for next year.

I DEMAND more likes for this. It's funny.

Well, actually, I'd rather demand some of the cake, if Katherine hadn't hogged the lot.

No cat flap here chez Casa Reynard. The girls have a concierge service.

Could you not get a Kat Kabin or something else of that ilk? Then at least the poor wee toot will have somewhere to shelter without having to come into your house?

 

[Reynard]

Had a wonderful day stewarding at the Bedford for one of the household pet judges. Got to cuddle some fabby cats, non-pedigree and pedigree pets alike.

Bought the girls some new toys. Not that they actually need any, but I do love to spoil them.

Now relaxing with a , a bacon sarnie and the snooker.

I am not paying anything for somebody else's cat!

That was an unexpected end to the day. Had just finished writing up my ride (60 miles today) when I got a call from my Aunt wondering if my brother and I could help demolish the water feature in her garden as she had tried and couldn't manage it.

This "feature" (horrible ugly thing) was about three and a half feet tall and the same wide, made very solidly of breeze-blocks. The lump hammer and masonry chisel she had been using were hardly touching it. An hour and a half of smashing at the thing with a sledge hammer has sorted it out though.

There may be lots of aches in the morning.
