  1. thing just happened. I had a call from a very rude man and he called me a Madam! He thought we were something to do with taking your clothes off! You don't think our name could be misleading, do you? I thought you said we were named after a movie about James Blonde or someone? Did he go around taking his clothes off all the time?' 'Well, sometimes ... but only to go to bed,' I reassured her. 'Anyway, I hung up on him.' 'I think ...
  2. Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes ~ Paul Simon
  3. Love the Poldatk novels. Do you mean you read The Miller's Dance each year, or one of the series?
  4. Another huge fan of Wodehouse. Haven't read anything by Denis Mackail (will take a look) but humorous and satirical books I've also enjoyed are Three Men In a Boat by Jerome K Jerome; Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons; and EF Benson's Mapp and Lucia books. ps. Thought I recognised your name from way back and saw you last posted in 2009, so a very big welcome back! 😊
  5. supercilious. 'I beg your pardon,' said Rosie indigantly, 'to whom am I speaking?' 'Hubert Hoitytoity, Madam. Investigating racketeering and criminal operations.' Now Rosie, usually the sweetest and most obliging lady you could ever meet, was annoyed. Hubert had clearly crossed a line. 'I'll thank you kindly NOT to address me as Madam! I am NOT and have NEVER been, a brothel keeper! And I have never heard of the establishment you are referring to. Please don't call again!' And she did what many of us do when faced with an unsolicited call, she ...
  6. of adequate ventilation. Unfortunately, covid had somehow affected his spacial awareness and he didn't seem to realise he was outdoors. Detective Myonly Hope tried to de-esculate the whole situation by calling for calm, but his voice was drowned by caterwauling cats and their irate and vociferous owners. PC McCatchem went round with his notebook and pencil trying to ascertain who was responsible for the stink. It wasn't long before all fingers were pointing at Jack Fishbreath who was cowering behind the barricaded door, crying piteously that ...
  7. I love cosy pictures like this πŸ₯°
  8. just going to waste, otherwise.' This brought a fusillade of indignation from both cat owners and their pampered pets. Everyone started yelling at once, the cats began throwing up everywhere and Jack Fishbreath had to take refuge in the shop and barricade the door with fish bins. Someone called the police ...
  9. I think members of the clergy, if following the teachings of Jesus, should not be condemning anyone. Georgia looks a very beautiful country.
  10. Speak For Me ~ John Mayer You can say that again! 🀣 I'm not very familiar with the dulcimer, but Tom is certainly a wonderful craftsman.
  11. one who's a fan of sardines, all those crunchy bones, the bane of homo sapiens but most delectable for felines. Surely, the least fishmongers could do in appreciation for the service cats provided in keeping down the mice and rat population, was to supply sardines pro bono.' Most cat owners, seeing which way the wind blew, decided to ...
  12. Lovely fiddle playing, he puts a lot of emotion into it. I don't remember you saying you played the fiddle, Muggle! Do you still play? Hello Walls - Faron Young Don't Stop (Color on the Walls) ~ Foster the People
  13. Your latest book sounds really good, Anna. Let us know when it's published 😊 Have you been back since October, Kev?
  14. by a ornately decorated, gilt-framed diploma, generously festooned with paw prints. Ms Solution agreed to act as mediator and translator between the disgruntled moggies and we lesser mortals. In the meantime, we continued to supply our pinickety felines with ...
  15. β€œAnd what is your resolution to be, Lucia?” asked Georgie, looking up from his petit point. A Tilling New Year by Hugh Ashton
  16. a strong protest from the feline community. Because of the exorbitant prices, their Friskies Fishy Fillet a la Fugu were now a luxury. They planned to show their dissatisfaction by ...
  17. Another Park, Another Sunday ~ Doobie Brothers
  18. d all the ingredients by hand. It was a small price to pay for her happiness and in time she might weaken and allow me to use our new Shreddy Mercury Multi-purpose dicer/shredder/grater with the powerful 2000W motor and the variable speed pulse. When I enquired why I must do it by hand, she replied that the supersonic sound it made when in action, frightened the cats and they went around, for several hours later, with their ...
