My gears are being ground by the fact that I seem to be having bouts of exhaustion.

I start out perky enough, but then for no apparent reason, my legs just seem to go "Nah, y'know what, we feel like aching for a bit now, we want to feel so heavy you can hardly put one foot in front of another".

I think they are trying to remind me that I am old, to save me from attempting to continue doing something high-spirited Laughing

When I was a kid in the country we'd come across feral cats in farm buildings etc.. They'd hiss bite and scratch if you got any where near them but by god they could catch vermin - even though they were often scrawny and thin they'd have rats the size of puppy dogs in their mouths stopping every few yard cos they were too heavy.

Top tip - don't over feed it, in fact under feed it.

I usually ignore cats, it drives some mad and they are all over me, much to the annoyance of their owners who are desperate for some affection from their feline pet. Wankey animals they are.

I know most pet dogs are stupid, but at least they are pleased for any attention you throw their way. Like that saying about who loves you more, the wife or your pet dog? Lock them both in the boot of your car for 5 hours and then see who is still pleased to see you when you open it.

I have a sneaking respect for cats.. Dogs with their 'please can I be your friend outlook' less so.
I don't keep/own either by the way. Trouble enough looking after myself. I might get a goldfish though.

Semi seriously could it be dieting related - blood sugars or something.
I might prescribe a big cake.

I've got a sore arm now, too.
Had a flu jab yesterday, and now it feels like someone punched me there.

The boiler chaps have got all the doors open and I am cold.
Also the main act is playing some chav radio station.
At first I was quite pleased that he and his wiremonkey were chirpy chappies of the English variety, rather than the usual sullen Romanians.
But he's already getting on my tits.
Including tuneless singing.

Best go put a cardigan and some headphones on then Rolling Eyes
Totes not in the mood for this today.

Bolloks, it's the dog owners that need a pet as an arse licking machine. Cat owners like the fact the cat doesn't really need them.

Today I enquired about getting my headlights carbon hydro-dipped.
The chrome has started to pit slightly and I've been wondering about some sort of black or dark coating on them for a while.

One. Hundred. Pounds.

Nope.

Have you thought of making your own in genuine CF?

This guy gives good examples of how to do CF

Meg the new kitten. She's sat on the armchair looking out at the front room, protecting it. Rat pops it's head out, my hopes were raised, then crashed as she looked at it, looked and me and sort of shrugged and went to sleep. I've bought a lemon.

Fuck my life.

You've bought a kitten. You need a scraggy street cat. Poor thing.

Dennis, our apparent scraggy street cat (tripod) is only interested in crane flies or very large bluebottles. But I suspect she was a duchess in a former life.

Whereas Lawrence, the sleek plush little tabby of indeterminate age, is a champion ratter.

Longshanks is too stupid to actually notice anything smaller than his head.
