I've also been fortunate to have my cat in my life. When my little dog, Rexy, died in 2018, I was heartbroken. He was 17. My youngest son, a month later, came home with a cardboard carrier - out popped Chloe, a nine month old kitten. Some of you may be familiar with my postings about her and...

My little dog, Rexy, was a Jack Russell -Chihuahua cross. He died in 2018 at the age of 17, and was one of the sweetest dogs in the world. ❤️

This morning I wished my cat, Chloe, Merry Christmas. "Why is it called Christmas?', she asked me. 'Well, I said, 'it's because today Christians celebrate the birth of their Lord, Jesus Christ. The only begotten Son of God'. 'Oh, I've met him'. 'Really, Chloe? When was this?' "When I was...

Or even a metal mesh security door!

No. The Romans liked cats, because they were clean and helped keep homes and towns free of vermin. Dogs helped in this way too, but cats are by far the most fastidious.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, when the first possum fell down the chimney we had to get a roofer to come and place a metal mesh screen into the chimney. It's a two storey building and very high. The ceiling ventilators have always been an issue in this house - maybe round here the possums...

Oh. So where would you put the chicken wire? Inside the ventilator? (this one measures 30cm square).

Seriously?

Same here. We had a ringtail fall down the chimney and twice a possum fell through the ceiling ventilator into the laundry. The ventilator was above the clothes dryer that was attached to the wall. After the second time, my husband's bright idea? He put a washing basket on top of the dryer...

Acting out by soiling outside of the litter box usually means there's a physical or psychological problem. What the article describes is disgusting. My Chloe would never do a thing like that. Her weapon of choice is an AK47 Assault rifle (with scope).

I was going to ask you the same question! Nope, I'm in Melbourne, and 4.00am is pretty normal for me. 🤪

Bit of both really. Charles was quite a bit older than me - almost a full generation and I often wonder whether he would have embraced technology more as time progressed. Or perhaps been forced to, out of necessity. Certainly if he'd continued his work as a barrister he would have needed to. He...

Oh we didn't pick on him, but he did make us laugh. He died 16 years ago now and was always a bit of a Luddite when it came to computers - until the day he discovered that he could get instant, up to date cricket scores any time of the day or night. But the technology continued to stump him...

The old Deb instant mash used to be a powder, I think. The new version comes in the flake form, which seems much easier to manage -- doesn't get lumpy. But every girl needs her Mum.....😆

Looks great! Even easier to read now. 😊

Poor creatures.😢

Potato flakes are quite versatile. You can reconstitute them with hot milk, a mixture of milk and cream or even hot chicken or vegetable stock. You can add chopped herbs such as chives or parsley. With garlic, I prefer to use crushed garlic or garlic paste from a jar. And if adding fresh...

Years ago, the boys tried to teach my husband how to use a computer. It was an uphill struggle. He would try to activate the machine by picking up the mouse and pointing it at the screen as if it was a tv remote.😆

And potatoes don't keep well any more - even in a dark place they start sprouting rapidly. We used to buy sacks of potatoes when the children were young. Wouldn't dare do that now - they wouldn't last five minutes!
