Big respect to Mr N.

My sympathies 100% but good to know that he’s wearing protective albeit uncomfortable clobber.

It’s the River Wye. It IS low at the moment - haven’t seen any canoes 🛶 on it for the past few days but it is beautiful. I don’t take it for granted - we’re very lucky. Although our hearts went out to others we did enjoy lockdown.

We were up and out down by the river at 07.00 this morning meeting other dog walkers. Lovely and cool and Mabel was in her element flirting with her boy whippet friend (the hussey). Followed this with a bacon sandwich (sorry, judyN) and a latte at the Riverside Café terrace.

Welcome. Cats are wonderful. We’ve always had cats and it was a huge bonus to find a whippet puppy many years ago which, after God knows how many searches, we were able to adopt. Since then we’re fanatical sight hound lovers. We’ve taken on three rescued whippets in total - two have gone to that...

Thank you, JudyN. Still a smidgeon confused - "...from 2024 to 2012". A time traveller?

Yes, the Scissor Sisters are fun - terrific entertainers. There’s something in the back of my mind re Graeme Garden’s son being part of their set up. Am I mistaken? Yours, Confused of South Herefordshire.

There are vets which are within an umbrella corporate outfit where the paymasters dictate margins. An independent vet could prove a better way. Check whether your current vet is within a corporate group. Really hope that all goes well for you.

I’m absolutely amazed and my heart goes out to the poor mite. What in the name of sanity possessed this woman?

No, not at all. I helped out at our county’s libraries when I retired and one very hot afternoon, while working behind the counter, was asked by a customer how we managed to keep so cool. I said that in such conditions we were excused clothing below the waist. Her look was amazing as was her...

Sorry, it was during the summer of ‘67. Told you I was getting old!

What a heartbreaker. He’s lovely.

I do the same at an ungodly early hour. It’s quite cool by the river here but Mabel’s taking it slowly - she’s now nine. I’ve picked an unfortunate time for a complete ensuite overhaul - noise and dust.

Absolutely knocked out by Pulp - thought that Jarvis just mastered the set wonderfully, superb numbers. My daughter and son in law went to their gig a few weeks ago, lucky things. We saw Rod Stewart’s set on iPlayer - what amazing accompanists and everyone so happy. I’m getting old - I saw Jeff...

There’s altruism by the ton.

There are some lovely, caring and selfless people out there - hedgehog, cat, dog rescue, etc. keep the faith and Spirit of Woodstock.

What a shame. Poor mite.

There’s nothing of finesse re my using the iPhone for photography. The slo-mo feature is amazing. I use it for waves and seagulls accompanying the boat back to St Mawes. If you have the feature give it a whirl. I’d show you my results here but I don’t know how.

Both you and Mad Murphy could use the slo-mo setting if you have such.

Good for you, JoanneF. Please let us know the eventual outcome. I’ve only come across one instance of a cat bringing down a bat. Because of the fauna in the woodland behind us George (our rescued cat) has a bell on his collar.
