My actual tax is this device that I spotted at Ushaw college, the other week.

I dread to think what that is for.

Tax to follow.

This is Mr Cat from Lanzarote.

What exactly is the deal with the tax, please?

Spandauer · 30/09/2026 23:03

Cat Tax for new thread.

Not sure if this was a yawn or an audition for The Lion King.

It’s optional but it’s become a sort of tradition to post a picture at the start of a new thread. It began with cats but has morphed into anything we find pleasing now.

Llttledrummergirl · 30/09/2026 23:06

Sometimes things can feel awful in mnet, the taxes cheer me up and make me feel that there may be hope for humanity yet.

It's a little bubble of nice.

I am usually a serial tax evader so don't feel obliged 😁

That's reassuring...was just wondering what to post!

Have never been one to dodge my taxes before! Blush

Drying socks - it's steam powered and trainee priests seemingly have enormous feet.

Perdy tax as usual.

Diolch Duncin.

Cat tax - DD was delighted that this kitty invited itself in to her uni halls last week. Unfortunately DH remembered seeing a poster when we dropped her off which had a photo of the very same cat and said "This cat has a home already. Do not let it into your building."

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee.
Bought a box of peaches today. Sybil clearly decided they just weren't furry enough...

I love that the box says Eat Me. Almost like the cat is daring anyone to try.

Well we made it to Valencia. But got this today!

@BIWI ❤️ that you got away OK but 😱 at weather alert

BIWI · 01/10/2026 11:01

Yep. Currently warm and sunny but the plan is to head back to the apartment after lunch and hunker down there. With wine, obvs.

BestIsWest · 01/10/2026 11:08

Oh no! @BIWI. Stay safe! Hope it doesn’t last long.
My brother is headed out there in the next few days.

cardibach · 01/10/2026 11:09

I had one of those when I was in Ibiza last year. Don’t want to worry you but it was followed by rain so hard it kept opening the hotel doors and almost prevented me getting to the airport or taking off once I did…
Relatively short bursts of it though so fingers crossed.

Good plan.

The rain can get bad in Valencia, lovely city btw, but there's always the thunder and lightning, which can be quite spectacular.

My cousin had the same alert when visiting Barcelona a few years ago and whilst the rain was torrential, she saw the positive side re the thunder and lightning.

Enjoy the wine!

Sounds like a good plan. Enjoy the wine! Hopefully the storm won’t last too long.

I’m really glad you managed to get there, finally.

BIWI · 01/10/2026 12:13

Forecasting 0.9mm of rain later 😮

Notonthestairs · 01/10/2026 12:26

Pleased to read that you have made it to Valencia BIWI. Good plan to bunker down this afternoon. I hope it brightens up for the rest of your trip.
