Chronically ill favourite cat has buggered off to bed after one hour of strenuous string, toys and play boxing bout, very rare for him nowadays. I was going to phone the police and complain but I would need to drink a lot more wine before I got the tone right for the call. I won't link to the youtube video explaining that one, it is perhaps cruel to mock very drunk and probably lonely people. This line will take you to the world of wasted emergency services operator time if you are curious; cat+string+999.
I believe the other animals are sulking at the uneven attention lavished on the sick boy, they might not be so if they knew why, rather like a sick and dark joke about Disneyland from the none pc times.
 
Christmas Day. Probably the only day when a handfull of Quality Street followed by bacon or sausage baps is considered to be breakfast, your main meal would normally be enough to feed you for two days and your alcohol intake (for those that imbibe) is the recommended weekly units total.
No Christmas breakfast can be called complete unless washed down with copious amounts of fizz. If you can keep it below 40 alcohol units for Christmas day its obvious you mean business for that fresh start in the new year.

Ride It Like You Stole It!

Tomorrow's job is reorganising my garage, as my son bought a "large roof box" for his car just before Christmas (this is for camping trips). He forgot that these things need storing, hence why he got it for a fraction of the 'new' price. It's in great condition, and my sister has already hinted about borrowing it.

On the plus side, it's time to get the huge exercise bike back to MIL's garage (been used twice and had taken a large space in my garage for at least 10 years - it's a good quality one, but horrible to ride, hence not used. I've got space for it, but it involves moving two bikes, pulling out the tents, out goes the BBQ, and my bike rack has to move then it all can be hung back in place.

I currently can't move in the garage, nor get at any of the bikes as he's plonked it in the middle of the garage.

Install a little chintzy soft furnishing and a kettle, put it on Airbnb.

I'll move my son into it !:wacko: He also wants to put a shed on the side of my garage now for 'his stuff'. It's my bike wash area, so not a chance ! :boxing:
 
It's very cold and squelchy out. So guess who was out early to snaffle some good reductions... :whistle:

I cleaned Wilkinsons and Tescos out of the Christmas packaged cat treats - tins of Felix and Dreamies, plus treat sticks etc. I also picked up some nice choccies, caught final YS reductions in the Co-op and bought fruit and smoked salmon. I also bought two squeaky brussels sprout toys in Tesco for a friend's miniature schnauzers.

Had a lunch of bitsas out of the fridge, watched the King George VI chase from Kempton, and have been keeping an eye and ear on the footy. Will go for a putter in the kitchen in a bit to sort something for supper.
