Trackless wastes

Today, I shall mostly be...
Having a g&t to reward myself for fixing the loo seat.It only took me two minutes but that was after the hour I spent finding something to loosen the fitting, getting the bit out of the end of the socket thingy when it stuck, working out that it would only go back one way after wasting twenty minutes trying the wrong way and dragging the DH in to hold the seat in position while I wrestled with the wrong end...
I expect a plumber would have a good laugh at me and charged a fortune for doing it :o)
Ohhh well done, Isabella! ;o> ... I hate it when loose Loo Seats suddenly and alarmingly shift position as you try to sit down on them! ;oO

Slapup breakfast in town with the 3 kids too.Whover invented the 'Builders Breakfast' is a genius.
Eggs, Sausages, Hash brown, Bacon, Beans, Tomato, Chips, toast, etc...
Kids had a smaller version. Haven't eaten since.
Then sat on me erse watching first session of the Snooker final.
Blood pressure 114/80. Resting Pulse 66bpm.
I'm feeling very grateful that you didn't invest in any Urinalysis Dip Strips! ;o>
Still having fun with your new toy, Tim? 😛Watching Murder She Wrote and deciding whether to open a bottle of cider or a bottle of red wine...

Do you have some spare?

Desperately trying to dispose of a moth. It landed on my hand! Aaarrgghh!

I don't envy you, Lez. I hate moths.
I have a very large and annoying Spider that I can post to you, Lez?To 'deal' with the Moth ;o>
I've carefully fished it out of the Bath FOUR times already today - but it seems to like living there because it keeps climbing back in!!!
Searching through files, looking for paperwork. I always was going to be better organised...
Getting beaten by my 10 year old son at basketball. Final score Bailey 15 v has bean 4. He wasn't even breaking into a sweat, I had to sit down for at least 10 mins after the game. :-(
admiring bob z's lightning killing frenzy - two birds in less than a minute - me being the bird emancipator wrestled both from his mouth out the back door (thrilling spectacle for the neighbours), the first flew away before it hit the ground, not before splattering my bare foot with blood (tell you it was carnage!), the 2nd, with me ready to administer the mercy brick, also flew away, apparently minus an eye, ****in' cat!
Ohhh BOB!!! ;o<He's turned out to be such a lovely looking Cat and a fabulous furry friend - but he certainly has a vicious and ruthless attitude whenever it comes to poor Birds, doesn't he?!!
And he seems to want to recruit and include you in his killing sprees as well! ;oO
...............we got a third. which might have been the 2nd bird again. however, it had turned into a corpse. serving notice that he's a cold hearted killer with no room for sentiment, it was a robin!
Is there a naughty step for cat's, Techy? Yours needs his bum superglued to it. 😼Gonna drag myself into the shower in an hour, then I'm off to Mum for my usual couple of days (via Aldi). Gonna surprise her with a Perry and Prosseco afternoon tea for two later. Surprised I haven't already blabbed it to her. 🍾🍰🍾
We have a new Kitten here. Sure it was taken from it's mum too early. A friend got 3 that were 6 weeks old, and has now given us 1, that's now 8 weeks old.
Tech, can you please stop posting about the killing sprees. I daren't read your posts any any more!

"naughty step" "killing sprees"yes, he's a very naughty boy, but it's all part of the cycle of life. nature, in all it's glory also has a dark and hideous side. sure, i'll stop posting about it, but that won't stop it from...................happening.
'Tis the nature of Cats to think of themselves as tiny Tigers ;o>And indeed it turns out that they do share in 95.6% of their DNA.
"tiny Tigers"panther, more like!
Funnily enough my pal Bobbie used to call Ebony her wee black panther.
Phoebe must come from Oz then, as she's more cowardly lion than tiny tiger.
On more than one occasion she's been chased back into the house from the garden by a bird!

Nesting pairs of blackbirds (or thrushes, I'm no ornithologist) will regularly front up to and chase away our cats in their own garden.

And 90% with humans. Must be why we eat so much chicken.
LOL!!! ... perhaps tech needs to start bringing home some KFC for Bob Z? ;o>

I hope you have many years of happiness with your new furball. Tim. D has been hinting to me for the past few weeks about getting a new kittie, but I don't think I could go through it again.
Different strokes but when our last cat pegged out on Boxing Day 4 years ago I was straight on the cat rescue sites. Got a pair of kittens (I'd never get a single kitten again, a pair are just sooooo entertaining for me and each other) and a third after another 6 months. One's near-feral and only comes in sometimes for his grub, his sister's a bit highly strung but can be very fussy and still lays in the crook of my arm up my chest and nuzzled into my neck just as she did when a kitten even though she's 3 or 4 times the size and the last one is an all-black super-snuggler - if my arm's across my chest she lays along it then shuffles to become belly-up and legs akimbo (yes Lez, I know only arms can be akimbo) for her belly stroking which she'll enjoy interminably, she's across my chest/arm as I type ........ veeeerrrrryy slowly with one finger of the free hand. Can't imagine life without moggies and now I've retired I want a dog an'all.
Today I shall mostly be hoping Lez has the best birthday ever given 2020 has been a crap year so far. Enjoy yourself!
"almost human, BN"very close........................crazy cat man!
Well after all the hamming up, Storm Ellen was a damp squib.It seems the Irish Authorities have a cry wolf policy.
Cat naming still going on here.Current contender 'Poppy'. Well the garden is full of Opium Poppies at this time of year :0
Previous disregarded contender, Noodle, Titch, Stinker, Shitbag, Mini and some others...

Pussy magnet, surely?!
aha, but will your pussy do the dog?
Only after dark down a deserted country lane.Some time ago I was in a minibus returning from a gig in Louth. We had been assured that we'd all be dropped off at our addresses but the driver went straight instead of taking a crucial right turn which I pointed out to the organiser but said as long as I got dropped off on opposite side of the country park I was perfectly capable of walking the mile or so. It must've been around midnight in pitch darkness as I approached the car park which was occupied by quite a few cars with their headlights on. Not wanting to disturb what I presumed was the nocturnal canine fancying society (could've been many more anti-social gatherings I suppose) I took a hasty detour with a high hedge between us.

Re Serial and cat naming, although I'm not quite ready to replace Ebony, or have the Christmas tree wrecked, the pee taken out of me while trying to change the bed etc, it hasn't stopped me choosing names. My fave 2 are Whisky and Cola Cube.
Thought my then young son's choice of Pepsi was naff (felt like a street vendor every time I called her in) but Cola CUBE(?) takes the biscuit. Surely Munchie Box or Ciderella are more you C?
Scoffing chocolate Brazil nuts and watching Shameless.

Someone told me that cats respond to/hear sibilants like sss..., and shh..., rather than hard consonants.

That's my favorite already.

I can hear you now, stomping around rural Ireland beowing, "Shi......"
