Is this some weird new version of "knock, knock"?

I don't know, why do cats bite your toes?

Because even cats aren't stupid enough to bite their own. (I mean, can you call them toes anyway?)
Because without an opposable thumb they find using cutlery difficult.
Because they need the "bite-toe, get-kicked" pattern confirmed for the 33rd time.

It was just a random thought that popped in. They do occasionally.

Our bins all have a drain hole as standard.

Drain holes: also known as rat starter holes around here.

I have spent the morning using the sewing machine.

Am about to have some lunch.

Then back in the company of the sewing machine.

There is a fen blow going on outside my window.

The old weelie bins didn't have them.
When we had the fuel strikes a few years ago a few highly intelligent people in Peterborough decided to stock pile Petrol in their bins, I know staggering , the fire brigade we're over the moon not

I replaced the larder fridge yesterday.

Currys accept all electrical things for recycling free of charge.
I'll take my fridge back to Hotpoint shop as they take big items free too.

I think I may be becoming Nocturnal as I didn't sleep much last night but have slept a lot today.

Right, that's all that fabric stitched. Now I can start the next stage tomorrow - cutting, tacking and stitching the contrast border on the pen base. My eyes have gone all funny though - bright green is a colour I personally wouldn't have chosen. (Making these for a friend.)

Have also been planning my next sewing project, which will see me nicely through the winter. Ran across some old sketches for a motorsport-themed wall hanging while looking for something else entirely (always the way), and figured that with a bit of tweaking, it's actually do-able. Plus I have some dark green fabric that will do nicely for it. Even better, it was already cut to size and the seams tacked, intended for a set of show drapes that never got off the ground. Just need to decide whether to use embroidery silks or tapestry wool...

Ah, a Fen Blow.

A good opportunity for you to get out on the bike and get some hill training in.

I have a question for peeps on this thread. If someone answers the phone with "Hari Krishna" are they Buddhist? Please excuse my ignorance.

Either that or they're called Hari.

I think his name is Lalji.
