I think I might re-read some Inspector Morse.

The advantage of having a terrible memory is that I can read books many times and have little or no recollection of them

I'm thinking of inventing a Fartbit so people know how flatulent they are..

I think I'm onto a winner, here!!

There's an app for that.
Or, try to find a CH4 Fart Tracker.

A little less portable, but more accurate,

The new cat opposite is not a Posh one. I thought that Maine Coons were a pedifree cat. Monty is a rescue cat, just like all the cats I have had. I saw his head a few days ago, as he tried to push his way through a partly opened door. He is a big cat! Is that mostly fur or are they really big?

Yesterday I was busy rearranging pots on the patio. The smallest pots, and the most delicate plants are now snuggled together in the cold frame. They will get the warmth and light from the sun during the day, but are protected from the worst of the cold. I have some large pieces of thick fleece if it gets really cold. In the very cold winter of, was it ten years ago, I wrapped up the Bottle Brush plant, but apart from that one, nearly all plants survived.

In more news, the new oven should be delivered on Thursday. It has a "parrot licked it" cleaning programme.

Grey and damp here but the wood is about to go on the fire, lunch done and tea ready to pour.... then its footy time

we trimmed all our indoor/outdoor palms down to the tubers & put the bulbs in the basement until spring. we gave our Son one of robust plants, but another small one we gave to a friend. I think she watered it too much & brought it back to us saying she killed it. it was leafless. I put it upstairs under the skylight. it is bouncing back

I am watching a programme that includes the steam boats on Lake Windermere.

I take it it wasn’t the one they interviewed Moon Bunny for, there’s been that many programme-makers turning up lately it’s hard to keep track.

Some have massive amounts of fur, with a small cat underneath, others like ours have less 'sticky out' fur but are just big. They do tend to be significantly larger than a normal cat, eating more than standard cats. So rest easy knowing your neighbour has a big pet food bill

Right, time for lunch and the Grand Prix on the radio.

What's this one going to be like.

I don`t know but I`m going to stay away from here until I`ve seen the highlights later.... to many spoilers
Enjoy your lunch and the race

It was an older gentleman by the name of Roger. It was part of a Michael Portillo "railway" programme.

Wasn't Roger the guy who helped Fred Dibnah with 'fettling' his traction engine when he went round Britain on it, bit of a steam engine 'guru' I seem to remember.

Well who'd have thought that, in a desert as well.

 

[Reynard]

Just retrieved the laundry from the utility room. It's raining sideways out there and it's damn cold.

A nice wouldn't go amiss to warm my fingers.

With the Chicken Song, your character could do the actions, too..

Hmm, don't tempt...

Actually, the getting drunk is more something that another character mentions in passing. Would it be quite as funny?
