Mum would be in the basket first, the original Popeye would leave it to the last possible moment, before he returned to the wicker cat basket....phew...

Made me smile gennepher

Will no be anglicising his name, as he has started to respond to it. Also he responds to Assez which is Enough, when he is pestering for a share of our dinner.

A school boy error on my part this morning, I woke Mrs J up early and now have a looooonnnnnng list of tasks, will I ever learn?

 

[Krystyna23040]

Of course it will Krystyna Murphy's law.

Yes, I agree.

My daily painting challenge to myself.
Like I said earlier I watched the early morning misty sun through the old oak tree...
So I painted a version of that in Procreate.

Here is is...

No question he is so lucky you have once he's settled & has a little continuity he'll have a life in clover...cats are adaptable he's a lucky boy to have found you.

Continuity, this is the issue, our current peripatetic lifestyle is not really suitable for a very nervous animal.

Continuity of care SlimLizzy meaning you & Mr Slim he will adapt cats will take you to the brink of frustration...then just when you think there's no hope of change they concede...keep at it.

Wondering if you've thought of a little cat nip in his basket or on his blanket?

 

[Muddy Cyclist]

An intriguing start @Muddy Cyclist

Thank you.

 

[Muddy Cyclist]

getting stuck in the lift at our local hospital...so many posts to catch up on

I wondered where you had been.

As we went into the National Park this am there was a request on the boundary that visitors should stay away!

We passed hotels that were closed and shuttered. On the west side of Derwentwater there were no cars to pass going other way just cyclists.
A few cars had parked up below Cat Bells and owners were out walking for the day.
The hotel where we took the family for a celebration for a long week end after our 50th... Borrowdale Gates was empty.

The Lakes looks different, nothing commercial is working.
Keswick was quiet as we came through on the east side of the Lake, and the road to the North of Bassingthwaite Lake under Skiddaw had virtually no traffic.

We had a short walk near where Hugh Walpole lived and got a few pics and then home for lunch.

A very fine Bonsai Oak tree, love the light and twisted trunk.

Finished my painting of Womere high on Cannock Chase heathland, A4 about 90 minutes.

Life becomes stranger by the minute. I can't stand musicals and for 65.5 years I have happily avoided watching The Wizard of Oz. Today my granddaughter is happily watching it sitting on my lap. There is no way back to Kansas for me now unless master Mahomes makes a magical throw.

Hahah Go back to Moana!
I was never a huge fan of WoO... maybe I watched it too young and thought the witches too scary.
Then again I get nightmares is Lassie gets a thorn in its paw!

I badgered my parents for Jeff Wayne's version of War of the Worlds because my primary school bestie had it. I listened to it on Xmas Day and it gave me nightmares for WEEKS! I never listened to it again. Ma and Pa bear were not impressed! In fact when my father passed away and I was going through all his vinyl LPs... there it was in his collection!

Looking good MC, looking good. I abhor things hung on walls but some of the artwork on here could eventually change my mind

 

[Krystyna23040]

Of course it will Krystyna Murphy's law.

Yes, definitely Murphy's law = or perhaps I should call it s***s law. New lock installed, more keys cut and you can guess what happened next. I was in the kitchen and looked into the conservatory and there it was!!! Hiding in plain sight. We couldn't believe we hadn't seen it. How on earth had we missed it.

No it wasn't, but I was simply thinking of the oak tree I was watching this morning in the mist @HarryBeau

Have bought the Feliway pheromone spray as recommended. But he absolutely hated his travelling basket and rubbed some fur off his face trying to get out last time I used it. We brought him over in a couple of crates, one solid sides, the other basket style over the top and held together with bungees. But would be so much easier for us to use the travelling basket
