    Just noticed we have a ''deer'' sign put up on the lane. It must be the muntjacs, there's been a lot of sightings around here lately. I've never seen any though. image

    Hope all goes well at docs Maud and glad you had a nice day out today,  and poor Jo - hopefully you'll have the boiler working again on Wednesday. We have a cupboard like that under the stairs where the hoover lives - we call it the glory hole ! image

    Hollie, do you think your cat could have some feral in her ? They have elf-like facial features. If this is the case she may prefer to live in the shed but she may come round in time. Try to avoid eye contact with her as cats perceive this as a threat.

  • We are having trouble in the cat department. Not with our cat but with one that keeps coming into our kitchen and eating our cats food. Poor old Molly, who is about 15 we think, is too frightened to go out, so we have too keep the cat flap locked and she has to have a litter tray in the conservatory at night. It's a right bind.  But I think Molly must have seen it off a few time as I have found balls of white fur on the floor and Molly is a tortoiseshellimage There is only me that has actually seen this cat, I saw its tail as it diappeared through the catflap when I disturbed it. Gave me quite a fright.

    Maud- have you been wearing a BP monitor? That should help rule out any 'white coat syndrome'. ...

    High blood pressure can normally be reduced by some alterations in diet. Simply reducing salt intake can often make an immediate impact.

    The first sign of deer around is that large chunks of plants start going missing.

    I don't know what deer actually make of those signs. They are 'pictures' so deer may be able to recognise themselves on the sign. But what do they think it means? Dining area ahead?

    I suppose the signs are meant to make motorists drive slower. I doubt if they make any difference.

    Gary imageimageimage. Just realised what I have written ! I now have a vision of a deer standing on its' hind legs with a hammer. image I don't think you would be able to drive fast along the lane as its very narrow with a lot of bends but I've no doubt that some idiots will try. As soon as we get ice or snow they close it.

    Good morning all,

    Hollie, Feral cats usually have a pointy face and big ears - a bit like an oriental breed . A friend of mine has a cat that was similar to yours and her cat spends most of it's time living in the shed but comes in the house for food . She hasn't been attacked but is now able to pet it on the odd occasion. image

    Pam, lovely photo as always. Our neighbours cotoneaster is laden with berries but haven't seen many birds on it. I expect they will when the weather turns a bit colder. image

    Hello all. No weather here yet. Hoping for some sun as my lone sunflower has opened its petals and I would like to see its efforts rewarded  :- )

  • Morning all, just taking 5 mins before I go to teach. No broadband at home yet, I have had to resort to Solitaire as I can't get on to chat!



    Haven't had chance to catch up as you cover so much in a day!, let alone a weekend.



    I did see one post about the cat Hollie, but not sure of the full story. Cats are very good at persuading someone to look after them - that's how I got Rocky. They also tend to come home when they are ready.

  • Went to find my class at 9.15, it's not till 10.15, I think I am getting too old and forgetful for this job!
  • dear Hollie hock, give your cat time to settle, who knows what has happened to her in the past. I took on a cat that appeared in the garden he spent the first month under the kitchen cupboard, had food dirt tray extra all under the cupboard. He never became a lap cat but was very loving in his own way. Im a great believer in letting them find their way. At present i have a British blue Grendle who is as thick as 2 short planks but so beautiful he gets away with it, aginger tom  Lennie who is so paranoid he can hardly look at you and a tortoiseshell Elvera who is the biggest tart going. Having to do blood pressure am and pm go back on friday. It seems ok at home. Have had a lot of stress this year and thats what im putting it down too.
