Cat deals in cannabis & its raining!

Having blogged a number of times about the things our cats bring home we have never seen what a cat from New Zealand dropped on its owners doorstep

The cat must hasve liked the smell from inside the package and promptly carried the cannabis! back home.  The concerned owner then phoned the police - - -




Potentially disease spreading Mosquitoes are moving into the UK's Urban environment

great pic  the breading areas for the Mosquitoes are being increased by people having water butts in their gardens according to the story, although the "Heat island" effect of cities is helping things along.
We trawl a fine net through our water butt now and again and dump the "wrigglers" into the pond for the fish to eat - - -


Ah the good old days

The old half penny  became a menace when we moved to decimalisation in 1971
It was 13 years before the then chancellor Nigel Lawson finally got rid of it.
One amusing fact in the story "Supermarket chains promised to round prices down rather than up" - - - yeah? - - -

As usual the front page of the Express provides us with "interesting facts" although it would have been kinder to give "A true hero and an inspiration " a little more of the space

The on - off debate about statins is finally! "resolved" by another Express headline that says its "Official: Statins are safe"  No doubt they will become "bad for you" over the weekend.








Closer to home
For my break day during the shift pattern

I had intended to take a colleague from the shop, lets call her Debbs, up to see the loggging area but the rain had other ideas so we decided to walk a bit of Froggatt Edge .  Here we are doing a selfie just before the end of the edge.  Sally was busy at the time of the walk but we all met up at the Grouse for lunch and the sunshine graced our outside table with its presence!

At the fun factory fallout from the "Labour Matching" is still affecting the place.  Not enough people on the night shift mean we have to work the overnight delivery and rumblings from other departments have necessitated an "Induction" course of "New recruits"  lets see how many remain in a month!

As usual because I am at the end of my shift pattern its raining quite well at the moment

as the surface of the pond shows here

This snail on the kitchen window looks set to dive into the Pansies below!

and the garden, although colourful has a distinctly soggy look about it.

Maybe a make and mend day is in order!
Enjoy the day
