  1. 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 ...
  2. I love cosy pictures like this 🥰
  3. 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 ...
  4. I think members of the clergy, if following the teachings of Jesus, should not be condemning anyone. Georgia looks a very beautiful country.
  5. 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.
  6. 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 ...
  7. 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
  8. Your latest book sounds really good, Anna. Let us know when it's published 😊 Have you been back since October, Kev?
  9. 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 ...
  10. “And what is your resolution to be, Lucia?” asked Georgie, looking up from his petit point. A Tilling New Year by Hugh Ashton
  11. 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 ...
  12. Another Park, Another Sunday ~ Doobie Brothers
  13. 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 ...

  15. so keen about the new menu. She wanted ...
  16. bit of a control freak.' This obviously wasn't going to work out. 'OK, Phil-butt. Well leave it there, I think. Don't call us, we'll call you.' 'But...but ...' I hustled him out the door. Maybe I could take over the catering! It seemed near impossible to hire suitable staff. How hard could it be?? After all, I could make a mean mashed spud and who ...
  17. Mr Forgettable ~ David Kushner (can't find any songs using more than just unforgettable)
  18. A Second Hand Turban And A Crystal Ball ~ Bing Crosby
  19. I'm a big fan of EM Forster, particularly A Room With a View and Howard's End. This is equally good, but I got so annoyed with Adela and her lies and the strife she put Aziz through, that I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. I felt the same way about Atonement. India fascinates me too. I very much enjoyed The Jewel in the Crown and MM Kaye's autobiographical books. My Great Grandfather was there with the British Army in the late 1800's, and my Grandfather's sister was born there. I totally sympathise with India wanting to end British rule.
