Looks good and I'll bet it takes good too.
I'd go for garlic mash though rather than roasties.
Bought 2 lamb shanks at the butcher this morning, so guess what we're having for Sunday dinner?

The vacuum cleaner wouldn't work on Ella, she'll lie right next to it switched on. Iggy flees but not needed for him as he's really good at getting into his carrier.
I can see the vac adding to stress.

I'd be dishing out the treats straight away. I couldn't resist!

Spare a thought, and sympathy, for those of us who have to scroll back to the 50s. You can injure your wrist scrolling that far down.

Top catting award for that one Dolfie.
Vary your approach with the Ella trick, go hide and make yourself invisible. It took me 35 minutes to find her, and not even giving Iggy Dreamies got her to come out.
She'd normally turn up to the opening of a crisp poke in case it's a treat.

A man needs a good sniff.

These pawparazi just don't respect privacy.

They're both gorgeous.

Another slower one, from a man who was very popular in the north of England for 1 track, I'm Coming Home In The Morning. Wrote this one himself, Twisting The Knife. He was a nice guy too, I talked to him during his last tour of England.

Everyone knows her name, but only for Misty Blue. This is my favourite from her, from the later 80s. It was obviously a C&W song originally. Knee Deep In A River (Dying Of Thirst).

I'm not allowed to watch QT. I'm banned by my wife due to persistent foul and abusive language directed at the TV,
BBC, host, most of the audience and guests.
As a treat, I was allowed to watch the recent episode with @zackpolanski.bsky.social

2/2 at your station in the south of France near the med. You'd collect your car and then only have a short drive to your holiday destination. Much less tiring than driving all the way down. We'd always celebrate our arrival in Calais with a big couscous before boarding.

We used to take the car trains in France. In the evening you reported to the train station in Calais, very north, Your car would be loaded onto a train whilst you would be shown to your sleeper cabin. In the morning, you would get french breakfast at a station whilst they unloaded your car 1/2

What a polite gentleman!

I love her little mitts. She has knee high white boots at the back. But she has long hair between her pads which is so cute but a devil on our wooden flooring as she slides. She has pink front pads on every paw except each back pad is black. The girl is cute, and she knows it.

She's very ladylike.

One Ella front paw, showing her little white mitt and with her toe floof on display too

And especially for @tobasmuss.bsky.social
Here's a white Ella mitt. She moved into her 'you may kiss the paw minion' pose.
Bonus toe floof showing too!

Large handsome white male cat Iggy and Ella the ragdoll cat are both lying in a box bed each, side by side. Iggy cutely has his front legs crossed and Ella is using the blanket over the side as her pillow

My view from my sofa tonight, post dinner naps are much needed all round.

She a sweetie pie and a feisty little diva built into one. You never quite know which one you'll be getting.

That's the top spot for both Iggy and Ella

Ella the ragdoll cat is lying on the top deck of the cat tree. She has turned round to watch me watching her. Her bushy tail and one leg is hanging down.
The replica Bastet statue is on the window sill

It's just a thing with floofy cats.
Ella lying down, especially, looks like a proper little barrel bod. Pat her down and it's mainly floof.
Sunny looks gorgeous.

Tuck the tassels inside the hoodie.
Those dangling down is a huge invitation to any cat worth their salt.
Remove temptation.

International middle name pride day.
My middle name is Scotland. I was born in Glasgow, Scotland.
My uncle & grandad had the same middle name.
My dad always told us it was because we were very patriotic.
Doing my family tree, I discovered Scotland was my great granny's maiden name.
Wind me up,dad.

I'd have to go in for a belly rub on that floofy belly. Trap or not, I'm going in. Cannot be resisted.
