The boring thread.....

[Alex]

Ah yes the mystery previously hanged man. I've seen that and others of his quite a few time. I used to watch Rawhide as a child.

Me too Klondy, I loved Rowdy Yates and the trail boss who I recall was killed during filming.

Well that's my boots on, my body warmer on, my sleeves rolled up. Bag of scraped n cut carrots n apple mix. Time to get over to the Stable, got 2 big Clydes waiting to be brushed.

Mowed the grass... what little there is.. I remembered how to get the battery out of the mower and how to charge it up.. I was only shown ONCE.. Well chuffed..

My older cat has taken to liking cat soup (which I gave him while he was recovering from a recent illness).  Naturally, this is blooming expensive to buy, so I've bought a few bones and am making a broth in the slow cooker.

He'd better like it!!

You old softie you !

If you don't mind me saying, Sir,  that sounds more than a little daunting. 

After all,  Vegetable soup is made from Veg,  Oxtail soup from Oxtails,  Chicken soup  . . . etc etc,   hence my alarm at 'Cat soup.' 

However,  I am glad your old fella is better now.

[Raven]

Glad Puss Wuss is feeling better.

I think they must have put some cocaine in their soup, as my cat is addicted to it!!

Mind you, I saw a recipe which included adding some catnip to the broth.  That'd be a cat equivalent to opiates.

Royal Mail did their usual. Something supposed to be delivered today. Not there when I got back but it was no sig required and I can't believe it wouldn't have gone through the letterbox as the thing is tiny. Tracking say to be redelivered next working day so on Monday. I'm not waiting in. I sometimes think with RM these days it would be quicker to walk to the seller and pick stuff up.

On a barely related point, since you don't need a licence to listen to BBC, may I recommend that you listen to the Radio 4 News Quiz from 18th April, especially the first 10 mins?

[klondike]

I always used to listen to Radio 4 driving to and from work and News Quiz was one of the rotating programs that filled the 6:30 Fridays (?) Comedy slot. That was maybe 40 or more years back. Not heard it in years. Probably a podcast but I really cba to chase it down.

Sunny day.. Just got to pop out for a short while.. Gardening later..

[Raven]

We have rain, and lots of it.  An at home day for me.

[GrannyMac]

Beautiful sunny day here.  My daughter is picking me up soon, off to a spa for a couple of days with her and my daughter in law.  It's an annual treat, OH is making me a bacon sandwich before I go.  Lucky me. 💞

It's one of those days in which many roads have been shut down round here to facilitate a marathon or some other race and this makes it a nightmare to get to some places.

I wonder if, by some pure miracle, those roads have had their potholes repaired to limit tripping hazards.
