Captain V and Paws, rulers of the world

[ClientQ]

I remember Solihull opening up. I don’t like the car park there for some reason.

Sigh. The last little bit of civilisation fades from my life.

Boots is a Midlands company, they can't have gone bust, surely. One of my fourth-cousins-once-removed-you-get-the-idea married a Miss Boot.

@Fluffycloudland77 while John Lewis has a soothing effect on the psyche, I can testify I have survived without one for 8 years. Nearest one is Peter Jones, which is really four floors made of valium and old lady talc, but I gave the habit up as the website really is as good and they deliver overnight. And the cafe had small portions.

I use Superdrug, it makes me feel young. Always come out with an unsuitable purple eyeliner. Frisky!

Yes that is lovely about the portrait. Much too precious to publish.

The cafe does serve small portions. They fill you enough to feel slightly cheated.

You do get a better class of scum in there though. The babies may be screaming incredibly loudly but their wearing Polarn O Pyret & the parents have a full set of teeth.

Wise and True. Graciously ushering customers with their own teeth and clothed on both halves through the hallowed portals of a fragrant emporium of luxe is the ultimate in aspirational retail for us all.

I should know, what with the charity shop an' all.

When dh and I are playing each other up one of us will point to the other and say “You’re scum, and so’s your family”. We find this hilarious.

Don’t do it in front if your mil. They don’t get the humour in it.

I don't bother to shop in John Lewis (one in Bluewater) or Peter Jones - they don't sell Felix AGAIL or Dreamies, so no need .

They do sell nice containers for keeping His Lordship's chattels and consumables in though.

Capn V's learned to bite my toes. So intelligent.

Up since 530am with the Eardrops Situation.

Morticia had a very bad poo 💩 incident yesterday. Fortunately I was at work 😈

Colour toning here

OM Geeeee that is soooooo waaaaaaay chic.

There's even room at the top of shot for the type VOGUE INTERIORS SPECIAL. And thr gap bottom right for

SECRETS OF QUEEN STYLE

Can I bagsy it for the calendar. A noticeable rise in editorial quality for 2021.

The Calendar?

In some years we do a calendar for everyone on the thread, months allotted according to kitty's wishes

Charlie would like to know if he can be Mr January

I need to take some proper arty pictures of Lardboy for potential calendar purposes. This one probably won't make the final edit.

Mr June 😁

Oh yes, ladies, your submissions have been noted and approved by The Editorial Board.

Capn's sitting next to me snorting with disapproval - he's kept it up since 7am when the eardrops went in. Really cross Carson-the-Butler sniffing.

fourth one in about a month and the bastard hissed at me. Fortunately I found it before any of the cats this time!

Tbh Just I think I'd be moving. I have no problem with snakes who have proper handlers, but "yours" don't appear to be accompanied by a qualified person.

Crikey. You’ve got some good countryside around you by the looks of things though.

Is it an adder or a smooth snake? I can't tell from the photo. You'll need to get closer next time...

On another issue - does Charlie have pupils? Those eyes look scarier than the snake!

Yes I spent all my life growing up on the coast, never laid eyes on a wild snake until I bloody moved here! Give me seagulls any day
Fluffy good is not the word I'd use!
Yet DH keeps reassuring me they're just grass snakes . It's still a bloody snake! Charlie has gorgeous amber eyes, you just can't see them in that pic!
