Just taken youngest cat for her booster. She's overdue vaccinations but as she's an indoor cat and won't be in a catery, the vet thought it OK not to start again.

She's put on weight since spaying, but the vet confirmed she's 3.2kg which is spot on. 200g heavier than her big sister, but 600g lighter than big brother

The girls are two and a half months overdue on their boosters. I need to get that sorted too. But because of mum's age, I've been minimizing the number of times I have to go out as much as possible.

Mind, Poppy is an indoor cat by choice these days, and Lexi hardly goes out much either. And it's not as if either of them is going to be going anywhere near a show bench in the forseeable future.

Got everything done today that I wanted to do. Even managed to build some parts for the Higman roll cage.

I've been trying to make a 1:55 scale swap body tank. It turns out they are a bit more complicated than you'd think...

A 70 mile ride today. Legs felt good; ready for return of audax next week.

What a cracking day weather wise 😃

It was beautiful Biggs, strong sun and clear air.

Beat you to it by 20 minutes, its not cold out now but it will dip to 2C in the early hours.

It was cold and grey this morning .
I managed to go for a 14 mile ride with a friend . This afternoon it brightened up and the sun came out .
I did a bit of a decoke on some head set cups on my Dawes. You don't have to do that often .

I just cooked an Angel Delight ! I got to lick the bowl out !

Hmm... can you certify that it's genuine Yorkshire air?

On second thoughts, from what I've heard locally, by he time it gets through customs it'd probably be stale.

It's not only internationally, I've had about four packets lost in transit in the UK.

I think someone on this thread mentioned receiving a handwritten letter from their local Jehovah's Witnesses. I received one today too.

I got one as well.

I'm guessing that this is their latest marketing approach.

Door-to-door was replaced by on-street stands, which they can't currently do. Hence the letters?

Last Thursday, I ordered a pair of trainers from a local shoe shop as mine are falling in bits, the shops are still closed and the government no longer allow click and collect. A week later, I am still waiting. It says "out for delivery" if I track my order. The shop is less than a mile away. How are they doing the delivery? Do they employ an arthritic slug as a delivery boy? Sending it via Warsaw? So much for supporting local businesses.

Must be. At least, it’s giving regular work for the post office.

Nice finds but that's the camp on the A207 (Shooters Hill). The Oxleas camp was on the old A2 Rochester Way.
An aerial photo shows a few things, plus a big circle thingie..

Happy hunting.

Is that picture on the Northern side of Shooters Hill?
If it is, there's a bronze age burial site on the Northern side.

Nope, southern side, just north of Rochester Way (the original A2)
