Paws, Ollie, Captain V and all the rest

[Papergirl1968]

New thread!
I’ve found two so much more hard work (and expensive) than one, Queen

Smoked salmon pate for 90p in M&S. Posh soups, 58p.

When I so much as look at the Cap'n, currently chillaxing in the morning sun, he licks his lips and flicks me a look of mournful reproach.

He's had 3 breakfasts. See above for lunch.

Just let Ollie out for his little evening stroll a bit ago. Little brat trotted down the road with purpose, across the zebra crossing on the main road and disappeared into a maze of bushes
Me
He returned with a look of "and?" on his face

Across the zebra crossing - now that's a well-brought up cat

Makes up for giving you The Fear.

Capn V snored all night.

Still no loo roll in South London.

Where in S London Supersimkin2? Message me if you think I can help

Thanks so much - the M&S manager is saving me some. He prob thinks I am over 70 or something, but right now I shan't be taking it as an insult.

Oh no I thought you were joking.

Still no sign of Bertie 😢

Argh, was Bertie feral before you adopted him?.

Ooh that M&S sounds wonderful. Or you get extra lovely service! Glad you are sorted.

Bertie - please go home now! You are needed.

I nearly tumble dried a caterpillar this morning. I’ve already rescued two today.

Gardening today. Divorce tomorrow. It’s the natural conclusion.

Hold your Nerve @coastergirl. Early days yet.

Fluffy - lying idle on balcony is bag of new bulbs, now contraband in lockdown. Shall I post? Pretty orange annual flowery shrubs.

Good luck not smacking DH.

I’ve ordered harnesses and leads for the idiot sisters. Their human idiot sisters can amuse themselves taking them for walks.

Having been happy indoor cats Wednesday keeps making a bolt for the door and/or window. I’m not sure whether she wants a change of scenery or if she’s trying to end the misery of her current life being cuddled all the time 😂😂

My three last night. The lump under the duvet is Gomez. I spent all night clinging to the edge 😭😭

We’re doing lawn edging and laying pebbles against the house L so no planting required.

@swampytiggaa - best tip I can give you for walking a cat is to ignore the advice on letting them "get used to having it on".

Put the harness and lead on and get the door open, their curiosity will take precedence over the piece of weird shit that the stupid human has put on them. Then it becomes a given that the harness on means outdoor play, no harness means no outdoor play so the "payoff" is worth it.

Obviously I can't guarantee that it will work, but it's worked for me on 4 out of 5 and the one who it didn't work on was already a grumpy old git when we had to try it!

@YesItsMeIDontCare thank you!

I'm about to do a TV interview so Ollie is outside. It doesn't need added catsplaining

Ooh exciting! What's it about, and where will it be on?

@Allergictoironing about shielding and not receiving letters/food slots etc
I've done a local paper interview and a podcast so far

You haven’t got a slot? Have you emailed the ceos? Maybe now you’ve been on telly you’ll get one.

@Fluffycloudland77 emailed, sent messages, rang the GP, rang the council....

Oh Queen - good luck darling. Turn 3/4 to camera and always stand behind the light.

Local viewers will be kicking your door down with offers. Some of them will be respectable.

That’s awful, you got locked down way before us too.

How are you getting food?.

@Supersimkin2 all done via zoom! The podcast is out and went v well
@Fluffycloudland77 I managed a delivery early on and the food bank sent me a box. I've got a slot but it's the 19th April...
