Why my cat is called Alvin........................





Spot the mouse................

Today I'll be itching and suffering in general as I've been diagnosed as having shingles :-/
It's sort of like having Chicken Pox and a bad bout of the 'Flu at the same time.
Woe is me...................

The art of keeping cool.......................

Mowing, again.

Sounds interesting. Shame it's a bit far for me to come

I've just checked the book out on line.
It looks like it could be a funny read.

Thanks for the heads up

Taking Oscar to the vets for his shots.

I'll be watching it rain for the rest of the day by the look of it.
And I'm certainly not complaining.

It's been a "Rain Stopped Play" day today Oscar relaxes prior to being taken to the vet for his shots: http://imageshack.us/a/img17/7203/wi51.jpg Alvin: http://imageshack.us/a/img14/6692/t1j5.jpg .....and Tommy: http://imageshack.us/a/img14/9736/1kok.jpg ..............sit out on the patio ...

Watching it rain, and rain and rain.
A pretty big thunderstorm around 10.00pm last night and the rain hasn't stopped since.

Welcome bliss..............................

If it eases up we may go out for lunch.

BBQ with friends this evening but where is the sun? It's all here in Oklahoma :sad: Today I'll be staying indoors and enjoying the A/C as it's almost 100F out there. I was supposed to be taking Oscar to the vets for his shots but I think that someone has tipped him off and he's gone into hiding.

.......mowing. So, what's new? :sad: http://imageshack.us/a/img571/8923/24may10011.jpg I started at 9.00am so I could get done before it got too hot. With the temperature on the up and up the grass will soon be coming to a halt (he said hopefully) Then, after a shower and some lunch, I'll be compute...

Well, it's all go at this end........................

Early to bed, early to rise this morning. Temperature was at a pleasant 72F at 6.30am.

It won't last so I'll sit out with a cuppa and enjoy it while I can.

I've been running around Centre Court all day and am now in desperate need of a cold beer.



Ah, there yer go.

Our Tommy (or Thomo) as a bairn: http://imageshack.us/a/img828/758/babytommy.jpg This boy is the most easy going cat I've ever known and the least trouble of them all.

(post snipped for brevity) In the past I have resorted to shooting them after finding them attacking my pheasants but this was a last resort after leafleting all neighbouring homes. Very few owners are aware of the damage and offence caused by their wayward cats. From the RSPB website: Domestic cat...

Today I'll be watching some tennis

Cathy wrote: Mick, you did a great job stacking those logs in that heat, did you have to chop them to size first? Phew

No, I bought it ready cut.

Mowing this afternoon if things dry out and if I can manage to get myself in gear.

I was stacking this lot



It was 97F (36C)

This evening I've been clearing out all the junk from the shed and garage ready for tomorrows firewood delivery/junk haul away session.
Phew, I'm bushed!

That is a great picture, Stanley.

Well, seeing as my tractor mower came back from repair yesterday evening I suppose I'll be, errr..........................mowing.
Better do it today too as there's a 50% chance of thunderstorms on Sunday.
