ooops. posted too soon

there ye go

Alas, Gemini doesn't seem to be in a bucolic mood today.

That's better!

First kitten looks very sad at being shut out of the pub.
Second one is Giant Spartipuss. Good work!

Also, it's great roof insulation.

I don't remember the particular episode of Woley mentioned, but I did enjoy The Goodies.

The 57 was fluffball dogs not ermine, wasn't it? So the expected allegernicity can be estimated by extrapolation from one fluffball dog.

And stops birds from tap dancing on it. I sometimes get woken up earlier than I'd wish by birds rehearsing their routines.

And frolicking!

I was remembering when I had a dear little kitten. Five years ago, just before Covid, adorable tiny little fluffy black furball that could sit on my outstretched hand. And she vanished, can't imagine where. I asked Rosy and she just gazed at me as if I was an idiot.

I get woken up by the pigeons practicing parkour on the Sky dish, which is bolted to the outside of the wall almost directly next to my head. It's quite disconcerting listening to the metallic clanking noises.

I am so effing bored…… went out last night, pub followed by a lovely meal with friends great time.

Could not be arsed to do anything today, maybe hedgehogs are lethargic in the winter,

Anyway that is my exciting contribution in the pub

Gin please …….

I'm a bit bored too Banned. Looking after sickly DH is knackering me.

Lethargic? You should be hibernating in a state of torpor.

Downside is you shouldn't be eating and drinking.

I thought I hyper hibernated, got up every now and then to get some food, and drink, i am small, maybe i should go back to sleep after my gin….?

Forgot to say i want a cat but can not bare losing one again. Thought about a smaller pet like a hamster as i could take them with me on my boat… any thoughts?

My son lives on his boat with his cat, who seems to thoroughly enjoy the life. He's 17. The cat. Not the son.

I feel that way about dogs - we'd love another but our second one broke my heart (and didn't do my back much good when he had to be carried up and down stairs).

And we're planning lots of travel when I retire - some in the U.K. would be dog friendly but much wouldn't - it's hard to do things spontaneously if you don't have eg a local family member who can take care of a pet.

I feel that the appropriate small pet for a boater is a white rat.

Oooo a white rat

Like this, @Bannedontherun?

Oh, it's Tales of the Riverbank all over.

Love tat magpie

@DeanElderberry
Does that mean you have seasons 5, 6 and 7 of Enterprise with Shran and Soval on the bridge? And the real final episode of season 4, without dead babies and dead Trip, and decrepit Troi and Riker?

I’m not sure. Can someone send a gerbil to check, or would going in that library be too distracting for them and we’d never see them again?

Someone tell me when they've found those missing series please. Oh, and all the rest of Firefly after the first series and film.

Might a small white rat on a boat be too confused if it goes to sleep in one place and wakes up somewhere completely different?

I often think this must be similar for babies, especially when they are developing some sort of sense of object permanence.

I suspect rats are more intelligent than small babies tbh.
Dogs aren't confused by boat travel, or cars for that matter so I don't see why a rat would be,.

Confused by cars? They bloody drive them.
