Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Saturday. Lots of cloud making it seem like it's still night. Not too warm either. Tiggy didn't stay out long, had his supper and looked at me as if to say 'Ta squire. I'm off back to bed. Night night' And off he went. He had his favourite smoked pancetta, so he was happy.

As I type the cloud is drifting away, but it's going the wrong way, south, on a Northerly wind. The prevailing wind here south westerly, so it's not looking good. Oh well.

Have a happy day everyone.

Morning, boatie.

Best regards to Tiggie. They're an endangered species now, according to recent news article (I'll spare you the url as this is a chat thread).

Meanwhile, there must be a lot of snails not getting eaten. Dawn chorus near me now: so many blackbirds at once I can't pick them apart so as to count them. Snailmageddon!

Empty thread as I started replying so good morning to the inevitable in-firsters
:D

Morning hypo. You're right, they are getting to be endangered. But my lad knows where he is well off. I don't see many slugs and snails in my garden, he does his job before he has his supper, unless it is too nippy for them to be out, like last night. :o}

How are you this morning mate? :o}

Ruddy 'ell, can I come and live in your garden, Boaty?

Good morning to you and Hypognosis.

[waterboatman]

Morning Chris. :o} By all means. I get it in Lidl, for pennies, I sue it for carbonara, so there is always some on hand.

How are you this morning mate? :o}

[waterboatman]

Sue? use! Duh!!

[Buenchico]

I'm well, thank you, Boaty.

As usual, I'm just finishing off a night of watching telly, listening to the radio, sorting out things on my computer and rescuing a frog from the jaws of a cat. I'll be off to bed soon.

[waterboatman]

That's a varied evening Chris! Cats can be evil, can't they.

[ummmm]

Morning. Blue skies here. The sky is not usually blue this early.

[waterboatman]

Morning ummmm xxx How much longer are you there for? :o}

[Buenchico]

>>>Cats can be evil, can't they

Thy've killed 4 blackbirds and a frog so far this week. The frog that Tablo brought in tonight though was particularly vociferous in its protests, so I got there before it had come to any great harm.

[ummmm]

Until Wednesday.

[Buenchico]

Sorry, Ummmm. I didn't mean to ignore you.

Good morning!

[waterboatman]

ummmm You will have some lovely memories to remind you. :o}

That's cats for you Chris.

[Buenchico]

Yes, cuddly killing machines!

[waterboatman]

You'd think they were domesticated enough by now to not do that...well, I would anyway!

[waterboatman]

Before Vera retired, she was a sheltered accommodation warden. one resident had a cat that never, ever, went out, even if the door was open. An agrophobic moggie!

[ummmm]

One of my cats is really naughty. The other just sits and watches her.

[Buenchico]

Dogs are 95% domesticated pets and 5% wild animals. Humans can bond with them by becoming 'pack leader'.

Cats are 5% domesticated pets and 95% wild animals. Humans can only truly bond with them by becoming totally subservient to them ;-)

[Buenchico]

The naughty ones are the best ones, Ummmm!

[ummmm]

I agree, she's hilarious. She just wanders up to people all innocent like and uses their leg as a scratch post. My OH calls her *** cat.
