Thank you for the new thread, @DuncinToffee. Here’s my tax payment - Lightning with his eye fully recovered, finally! And thankfully in time for when he goes into the cattery with his 2 sisters on Wednesday.

Then on Thursday we’re off to Germany for our DNiece’s wedding. She’s marrying a German man. We’re very much looking forward to it, obviously, but also worried about how DD1 will cope. She’s looking forward to it, but doesn’t cope well with change and doesn’t understand, or want to understand, social etiquette.

Thanks for the new thread Duncin. I hate to point it out but there is a typo. Not that it matters.

I am going to make sure I am Being More Dolly this month. That includes staying away from anti-Muslim ragebait threads.

Some bird tax from me. I am sure they were plotting something...

We could all agree that the typo was deliberate to throw malcontents off our trail 😃

I have asked MN to correct the title Blush

Definitely, your black and white cat looks like our cat Lizzie. Gorgeous.

TemperanceWest · 31/08/2026 10:08

I am a big fan of black and white cats too ❤️

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee - I'll always think of him as Andy Brunham now.😆
Cat tax attached. I'm sure some of our 'visitors' will approve. 🇬🇧

Never had a black and white cat - I do feel I've missed out.

They’re definitely special, but so are all cats, of all different colours. We also have a black girl called Mittens. ❤️

Looks like Priti Patel has resigned from the shadow cabinet, Tugendhat is set to replace her.

Patel and Cleverley gone.

I need a ‘keep of Muslim rage bait threads’ buddy to keep me on the straight and narrow. Shall we DM each other if we see each other slip? 😂

On Muslim hate

Spain PM Sanchez: Russian and Israeli social networks deliberately spread hoaxes about the July 30–31 migrant surge to destabilise Spain and Europe:

The hoaxes were then spread by an international Far Right that uses migration to attack Spain and divide Europe.

Yes! I am still posting on the one we were on last night, but that is just because I am interested in what a Christian person is saying. After that. No more!

I haven’t forgotten tax. Here’s tax of my cats before Perdy and Cordy who were bith black and whites (though one was almost completely black). Meet the dear departed Leo and Lucille (points for anyone who can guess why the names).

Maybe the typo is to throw off the lurkers Wink

Thanks Duncin

That’s a lovely handbag Pickachew - I really want one!

Rain overnight here. Sunny today and quite a nice breeze to on a mission to get washing done!

Back to school and swimming training tomorrow.

Also have my friends funeral.

Beach tax

The sea is usually so calm and blue but recent winds and storms have ruled it up to green and choppy!
