I’m a throw it down the throat type of pill dispenser, even with the cats, sometimes it takes a couple of attempts.

After the recent events with our dog, and his ability to find and reject tablets and even refuse food with crushed tablets in it , we discovered pate was the trick. Shove a tablet or two in a teaspoon of Sainsbury's cheapest pate and it doesn't even touch the sides

Sausages work for our one. She normally sniffs food and takes it from your fingers very gently, but all bets are off with sausage. So broken up tablets into sections of Tesco cumberlands and it vanished without trace! Dont want to tempt fate but she does seem to be recovering well now!

Booked another sailing holiday

Christ Tiepin, WTF have you done to your sig? It takes up more than my phone screen FFS.

To sodding wet to work in the garden, ride or build Ikea furniture, so finished this before the UK F1 leg @ Silverstone;

I "stretched" another cross stitch piece. Not really sure what to do with it as I sewed it for a particular person that I no longer speak to. Not that I suspect it would have been appreciated but hey ho, I bought it for said person and stitched it for them.

SOooo. Now what to do with it ?? I always stitch a project with the recipient in mind and I'm kinda loath to give it to another friend (not that I have many that would appreciate the subject - person used to be a diver ) - the kit was bought about 20 years old and finished about 8 years ago (didn't have the money to frame it before, and as said, no it's not going to the originally planned recipient)

I'm half inclined to give the piece to a friend to sell to go towards funding her son's ski racing.


But, if anyone else fancies it, let me know and I can get it posted in the UK !!

The backing board/picture is 30cm square, not a lot of edge to add a frame but a decent framer could put some more board around it to enable a mount board and frame to be added.

It's kinda cool and was the first time I stitched blue on blue (not simple!!) but I only see the person I stitched it for when I look at it now, so I won't be keeping it





Also finished stretching this one !! This I may well keep as I have always loved the sax and I do have a decent contact to buy a frame and mount online Will keep it like this until I know where I'm going to live !!

Just back from a bike ride where it would have been better to have had a canoe. Bib shorts felt like a full nappy!

Chuffed to bits

Getting fit for Portimao

1000m today, non stop

At 950 I had a bit in the tank so sprinted the last 50 hard. I like to finish exhausted.

It worked

Blown £40 between us in the amusements at Cleggy, at one point we were a good £40 up!

Rescued a distressed bee with a little water and sugar

Sitting at work waiting for the stormy weather to break my railway.

Watched the Silverstone FormulaFarce1. Amused by Verstappen crying because he couldn't get his act together & blamed the car as usual.

My eyes thank you

Went swimming outside. Or open swimming as it gets called these days.

Baked a cake. Fed it to the neighbours.

Spent the last 2 days working at Silverstone. Yesterday I was too hot, today I was too damp. Very little in the way of breakdowns or incidents so lots of traffic control. Great couple of days with a great bunch from various organisations.

Booked tickets to SA flying Premium Economy so I can actually fit in the seats... January 2026 will be a warm holiday! Going to sort car hire later on and will find an SUV that I can fit in as it makes sense to have something with size on those roads.

After circa 15 years of relentless nagging by various employers and my wife, I've finally submitted my CEng submission - fingers crossed now!

Do it for the Costco card!
