Dammit-didn't realise that! Will check in each day. It's a great picture-very expressive of how she feels and views the world.

Those cats are having such a lovely life with you after a bad start in life. I believe they are working together - a proper little 'pride' you've got there! Mine have been staying out all night in this hot weather, but appear to be taking it in turns for one cat to stay in to wake us up. Sunday night Ting Tong stayed in and woke me by tapping my face at 5.30. Monday night it was Tabby's turn-she was howling in the hall at 5am with her favourite toy mouse in her mouth. Wonder who it'll be tonight ...!

Ha ha she is funny mine are as bad especially come night time when they have to come in, I usually have to Lamp Sootz but he got crafty and realised not to look at the lamp so I have to make weird and wonderful noises to get him curious enough to look my way. Micky is the awkward one now as he sods off over the fence so we just have to make sure we havent overfed him come the evening then frantically flap a pouch of cat meat. Sootz and Minnie never go over the fence which is a huge relief as both of them are daft enough to go off with any one.

Blimey, what teamwork! Sounds as though you need to look out your pigeon pie recipe... :D Tuppence can't be bothered with them, but Rocky makes it her business to chase off the wood pigeons. Couldn't find Tuppence just now (I worry about them in this horrible weather) but was aware of being watched. Finally found her curled up in an enormous upside down glass lampshade which we mounted in a frame as a holder for a three wick candle, looking at me.

I forgot to tell you that Ben woke up last Month he had been asleep since middle of October last year. He is in fine health and eating well and is the only one I know who is enjoying this heat. He had his house totally cleaned out and a nice bath this afternoon. I took the first picture and thanks G?N for the second one just to show you he is about two handful's now xx

We have been getting a big fat wood pigeon come to every day to get the little birds food. It takes great delight in teasing the cats as it knows they can not reach it. I was at the sink the other day and saw Minnie creep up on it very obviously and smiled to myself thinking poor little mite she hasnt got a clue. The woody puffed itself up and was looking down at her with such a smirk on its beak she stood up on her hind legs the smacked at the air and the woody lazily took off as it did so Micky leaped up out of the long grass and almost had it. Micky and Minnie touched noses and he went back to the long grass and she sat over by the pond. I swear blind they were working together to get it. Part Two...... G/N and I were putting up anothe...

Ok CC will wait until it is a tad cooler then as dont want them to shrivel up in the post. Its been way to hot for me these last few days. Looks like another scorcher today as well. We get them round spraying also CC and they do right behind our back fence I wouldn't mind so much but the never seem to get the pesky bramble that grows a mile a minute, but endanger the grape vine on my side. Poor thing struggles on though. Next house guests are from Norway so there will be plenty of fun and the days will pass much to quickly.

Yes - the government and the press have it in for the GPs at the moment. They've picked on the hospitals, A&E, now it's our turn. There was no coverage about how they worked exceptionally hard to keep everything going and make sure the patients didn't suffer.

I hope not! There's no urgency, NN. I wanted to replant some nettles from the footpath but the council keep sending out the Naughty Boys who nuke everything before it gets a chance to grow! Who are your next house guests?

Posted By: KatebWe had several GP practices affected Diane. 2 surgeries lost all of their computers, another 6 lost about half, and then a few others lost a few - enough to make it difficult. They're still not up and running properly. We lost our work printers - haven't been able to print since it happened and no idea from IT when they'll sort it. The press made out it was just a couple of hospitals affected, but primary care took a much bigger hit. I think you're right CC. Hubby is doing a cycle ride in Birmingham in August - 15,000 entrants - steer clear! Holy smoke. That's terrrible. It didn't get enough media coverage either... So many extreme things happening these days. :(

That is one in every 78 Americans. He does NOT have a mandate. He was elected because of an outdated process called the Electoral College that was stacked against us. Our votes didn't count and this has to change. Oh Lynnie, that's great to know. I may have lots of questions to ask you when thes...

To be honest I think it's just laziness. The kids say they have to do chores for pocket money (not a bad thing) but then she takes it back off them because she "needs" it. They say she doesn't clean up and is always asleep. My son says she was like that when he was with her. We all know it's hard work to bring up kids, but she has every weekend off, and they're at school the rest of the week. Society and the law always seem to think kids are better off with their mothers-I can't believe this situation is unique to us, maybe things will change one day.

It's Amazon Prime Day! Time to stock up on stuff you don't really want...
I did manage to find a cheapish solar powered charger - hopefully it will save us some money as our electricity bills are 50% higher than the national average :( I suppose that's what you get for having a PC, 4 cameras and mic's running 24/7.
If you do want to go have a look on amazon, please use our links, it doesn't cost you anything but helps bring us a few pence if you order :)
Thanks :)
