You all need some of those old cables  then. Check your local next door there may be some free there. You don't need many. I've found they breed. Just put a few in a box and when you look next you'll have several boxes crammed to overflowing. Particularly good breeders are ones you can't remember the last one you ever used such as Scart leads and those ones with red white and yellow connecters for audio and video all in a bundle that you don't recall ever using.

Should you ever need a usb lead don't be tempted to look in any of those boxes which will be threatening to collapse the rafters if there has been no regular culling. The specific one you need will have hidden itself away. There will be dozens with the wrong connectors or just a bit too short. Sometimes there will be a fooler though. You'll use it in some long task that takes just about forever then at the end find it never actually worked because that cable is damaged and the one you could swear you binned ages ago when you found it was useless.

I confess I just have four,  which have been there for years.
This is what they say:

1. Just when I'm about to make ends meet, someone moves the ends.

2. If we can put a man on the moon,  how come we can't put them all there.    (sorry Klondie) 

3. A house is not a home without a dog.

4. If your dog thinks you're the best,  don't seek a second opinion.  

I am not sure many English Zoo's keep these animals in cages anymore, do they?   I thought most were now in safari park type surroundings?

I think anything kept in a small cage,  even a budgie,  must be doomed a life of mental torture.
Must be like us kept in solitary confinement for life.

Mine has only got some Christmas decorations up there,  nothing else.
I don't think I dare go up there anymore anyway,  as dizzy spells and ladders don't mix. 

A lot of different animals in zoos can be seen doing the repetitive pacing around the perimeter of their enclosures. Squirrels do but of course they run along rather than pace. That's even in pretty large enclosures where there has been an attempt to make them "interesting " for the animals.

Cheeky chops.  
I don't hang about once I get going -  and did the mowing yesterday.   So there!  

I think it is tidy.. i don't go up there anymore...

No fridge magnets here..

Chilly.. no sun.. Lazy day.. just pottering..

Zoos are cruel.. Caged animals !!
Some are lonely.. They need to roam.. and run.. feel the wind..
