You can have him back. He's big, noisy, not house-trained, demanding, aggressive and not even mine - it's my son's cat who's been away at university since late 2018.
Oh, and there's a vet's bill to pay for vaccinations. Just let me know where to send it
"My" Bob is big and heavy, sometimes noisy, can be aggressive towards people he does not know if they get too close. He has an ASBO from the Vet.
To the best of my knowledge he has not been to University.
Apart from that he is just like "your" cat.

My afternoon didn't quite go to plan...
Went to the utility room behind the garage to get a fresh bottle of milk out of the fridge, only to come face to face with an open freezer door. Bugger. I suspect that the fish I squeezed in it on Wednesday shifted before it could freeze and popped the door open.
Cue emergency triage of contents. Everything in there was still frozen solid except for the front layer, which had either completely defrosted or partially defrosted. Emptied one of my wood bins and dumped in the stuff destined for the bin - mostly fish and seafood. I will deal with it tomorrow.
The defrosted pack of pigs in blankets, I will cook and eat tonight. Likewise the chicken livers. I have three packs of salmon, plus beef mince, two packs of steak and half a duck thawing out in the fridge.
I'll make confit with the duck, casserole the steak and make a batch of spag bol with the beef mince. I'll just steam the fish, and it can go into sandwiches or pasta bakes.
Whew.
Finally sat down with a
and some salted peanuts. My hands feel godawful from having gotten so cold and wet.

Yep, that's him. When can you collect? You'll need photographic evidence of same said cat ...

Believe me.... unless "unavailable" is a euphemysm for some disfunction then all is not lost!
No, it's not a euphemism for *that*
Although if his personal circumstances were different, I wouldn't be adverse to a friendship with, umm, benefits.
This is the guy I bought the silver yard-o-led diplomat pencil for.

Where's @Fnaar when you need him with double-entendre's for you buying a pencil?
Oh, don't you start, Mr Lane!

Right, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

10 km at dusk today. Would have been 15 mins earlier but I thought I better fit some lights to the Mares.
Lots of impatient hurrying cars in poor light. Just over 18 kph average which is faster than I thought but I reckon it was because the myriad spray throwing close passes loosened me sufficiently to make hasten home to avail myself of the amenities.

I shall I plan to go now ?Yes, and if you would like to visit Leeds, you will get there ten years earlier than expected.
I don't think I have anything planned in 10 years time !

I won 3 sets of Scalextric at an auction today. I lost out on the ones I wanted but I'm quite happy with what I've got . One of the sets has the newer form of track fixings . I don't think much of them ! 
They might be easier to put together but they come apart on their own !

Devilled chicken livers, jacket potato and the rest of last night's steamed cabbage & leeks. I rather enjoyed that.
