Almost like the head of a lynx on that.

Notice the teeth are on display, you upset it?

No, it's doolally. Several months ago while waiting at the bus stop I watched the cat looking up the road. As soon as a car appeared in the distance the cat ambled into the centre of the road and sat there watching it approach. It waited for the car to come to a halt before continuing across the road. Everyone's surprised it's still in the land of the living.

Are you certain it is?
It may be the spirit of a number of cats, hit on the road, returned as what you see?

That head is not one of a domesticated cat though.

I went for a walk in the rain a little while ago. Detoured through our local Pocket Park which is one of few designated Urban Meadows. The old OS maps show a pond just inside the gate but it’s been a “ lost pond “ as long as I can remember. There’s a small fenced off area where it used to be and what I think is probably a family of foxes had set up home there. For the first time since I don’t know when it has become a pond once again.

Good morning, feeling very sleepy, even after two cups of coffee. Planning on going for a run this morning, need to get fitter for our trip to the Lake District in March.

Barnet,
Good morning all. I've been awake since 7, but have been reading an Inspector Banks book and have just finished it.
More rain is forecast for later.
Dog walking shortly, and will call in to M&S to pick up my order of some new undercrackers as the missing ones have not turned up.
Another busy day in paradise.
 
Morning you lot


Up at 8 as Grand-daughter is staying over night and we have trained her to not get up before 8 when she stays here
(not doing so well with the 2 boys!!!)

but she comes over once a months or so to get some peace from her younger brothers - she is 10 and the middle one is 6 - but SEN so can take a lot of attention

she is currently drawing but wants to go to Tesco - I suspect there is something she reckons she can persuade me to get her!!

anyway - bike ride seems to be out

Hello! Weather is better than forecast, it's not raining, but heavy rain is due around 11.00. Nothing planned but will iron, etc. as the day progresses. I have a real hankering for a good sausage, planning a short walk to the farm shop to get some. We don't shop there often now, prices increased before Covid struck and have again. It was always expensive but now while not unaffordable is more of a treat than the weekly visit it once was. Prices increased significantly when the farmer sold it to an employee - two slices of profit became necessary, one for farmer and one for the shop. Very understandable.

A very strange sleep. Woke at 2.00am and wide awake. Downstairs, back to bed at 4.30 and slept soundly till 8.45. I'm going to look at cycle frame sizes shortly.
