My cat once wandered in with half a burger clamped in his mouth.
Bun, pickles lettuce, the whole shebang.
I wonder if I live in Beanotown, where people still leave stuff to cool on precarious windowsills 😸

I once incurred 36 hours of wrath from the Cats Must Live Inside people coz I told them my cat had showed up at my back door with a piece of toast in his mouth. Ok guys sorry about all the toast that's in fucking danger.

As I have just joined up for this year's Vinyl Santa, I would like to declare that I really like Led Zeppelin III with the twizzly cover, Dark Side of the Moon with the solid triangle label and that Wu Tang LP that Bill Murray is legally allowed to steal 😼😸
You don’t have to do exactly this but it is a good idea to share what you like on here.
I notice that the @vinylsanta.bsky.social thing is happening and it's a great ritual. But it says that a participant should look at a person's feed to see their tastes and that means I need to put some things up here. Starting tomorrow I'll go through my Car Mix as it plays randomly, song by song.

Tis #Caturday once more and #CounceCat is all tuckered out just thinking about the #Parkrun that just took place. It's not that he couldn't run 5k, he chooses not to. Leave all that lark to the hounds, eh?

By 'serious' & 'sensible' I think they meant what was best for upper-middle-class folk who live near London. & I think it's slowly drawing on them that they weren't even right about that.

#Caturday is upon us again and #KirkyKat has taken up station in the garden under camouflage, hoping a foolhardy pigeon will fly into her mouth. #CounceCat is having none of that nonsense and is loafing indoors in his favourite spot 😼😼

We're back at Carpe Noctum tonight in The Lending Room, upstairs at The Library Pub in Leeds and we're proper excited.

I know he'll be somewhat too busy to see this, but huge congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on winning the Green Party leadership.
A leader who can capture the imagination AND the column inches will be invaluable moving forward.
