Doris looks like a tiny TC

I had noticed that Grin

YetAnotherSpartacus · 07/04/2022 10:01

She needs a mentor :)

TheLongRider · 07/04/2022 12:38

Doris knows what you did last summer, and she ^does not approve.

nettie434 · 07/04/2022 12:45

Doris and Cedric are both 💖💖💖 I love grey cats. Doris might be the brains but Cedric is deliciously handsome.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 07/04/2022 14:57

Friend has just sent me a picture of Doris's spotty tum Grin

Not my cats and friends

Doris will definitely be a handful. Cedric reminds me of my dear departed boy, a cat of very little brain but such a loving heart.

TUMBO TIME!!!

TC has Doris as a new pupil at his College of Liberal Arts, famous English school run along internationally renowned ‘self-expression’ lines.

Typical Morning curriculum: breakfast; meditation; minor wounds; elevenses; auto maintenance; break for lunch.

No fighting in playground. Bodily release through the medium of dance/punch up, however, acceptable.

Instead of counting angels on pinheads they count scratches on arms.

Mistressofnone · 07/04/2022 21:18

Cuteness overload! Doris is so pretty. Is she a touch bengally-bangly then?

Fluffycloudland77 · 07/04/2022 21:34

Time will tell.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/04/2022 07:04

Not cat related (apologies).
I've been coughing for about a week, done a couple of LFT tests, both negative. So assumed I just had a cough. Yesterday morning woke up in rhe wee small hours and found I had a huge ash (looking like I was out in the sun too long) all over my torso, front and back.
Did another LFT test last night and it turned positive immediately.
Not looking for sympathy (I'm feeling fine apart from being a bit itchy), just wanted to moan!
The real issue is that DS2 is due to have minor surgery next week, and if he gets covid it will be cancelled Sad. Also hoping I've not given it to our friend with the kittens.
Bugger bugger bugger.

Rash not Ash Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 08/04/2022 07:57

Oh that’s awful, you poor thing. Poor ds2 too, You could ring the hospital for guidance?

I don’t know, of all the times to get covid!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/04/2022 08:21

Thanks Fluffy. Hope all is going well for your DH too.

Allergictoironing · 08/04/2022 08:47

That seems to be not uncommon with the latest variant of Covid. Of the 2 other members in my team, both have had general coughs etc, then tested +ive after a few days. One of them literally only tested +ive for 1 day (took 2 tests that day, just in case).

Luckily for me, we rarely get together as we're out & about at different towns and events most of the time.

Supersimkin2 · 08/04/2022 10:54

Grumpy that is rubbish for you - get better soon! Typical timing, life on a stick. Hope you not feeling too rough. Make most of Voice of Suffering to claim telly privileges/sugary foods/tea.

Is DH improving today yet Fluffy?

Everyone in London’s got Not-Covid, a weird bug where you feel grotty, every symptom under sun, but not badly enough to stop work.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 08/04/2022 10:59

I had Not-Covid!

All the best, Grumpy.

You probably need some T(L)C.

Hoping Mr Fluffy is doing well too.

Allergictoironing · 08/04/2022 12:09

Don't forget to wear The Dressing Gown Of Doom for maximum sympathy! Grin Wink

Fluffycloudland77 · 08/04/2022 12:19

And the weak sick voice, lots of sighing & asking for things to be passed to you that are within your reach if you lean forward.

Impossible, of course, if the DGoD has attracted one or more cats to your lap.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/04/2022 13:38

🤣
Not quite how things are playing out!
I'm working (from home) today as usual.
I've been evicted from the bedroom to avoid the risk of Mrs Grumpy getting it (she tested negative this morning)
I'm eagerly anticipating Mrs Grumpy bringing me a hand bell to carry in the house and ring while shouting 'unclean' whenever I move around.
Oh, and DS2 is avoiding coming within 20 feet of me.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 08/04/2022 13:40

You and TC ... the unwanted and shunned ones.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/04/2022 13:45

Aye - despised and rejected (in a Handelian manner) - that's me Grin

YetAnotherSpartacus · 08/04/2022 13:51

I was thinking Camus :)

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/04/2022 14:10

Or Kafka maybe?
