Possibly, but I’ve had tortoiseshell cats (interesting fact - torties are almost exclusively - 99.9% female) but i think calico cats have got larger markings

Good morning, Ethel I read your post again and it puzzled me - I was told the threshold for the shingles vaccination was 65; COVID, on the other hand, I have to pay for. BTW, BlueSky thinks you’re posting in German 👇

? AnyList is the other. A shared shopping list that has saved us a fortune over the years - we tried everything; post-it notes, lists on the fridge, but we still ended up with 12 jars of coriander, and no cumin. Mrs T wasn’t convinced until she put ‘cheap toilet brush’ on the list, and I delivered

I confess I’m generally wary of paying for smartphone apps, but if you like gardening, PictureThis is strongly recommended. Take a picture of a plant, and it will identify, diagnose and provide care instructions

At least you can blame it on the dogs. Our late Harvey would wake himself up farting, sniff his behind and walk off in disgust, leaving us to cope

As an aside, the LibDems 🔶 are the only party in my area to keep leafleting throughout the year. The other parties suddenly spring to life in the month before an election 🤷🏻‍♂️

A blue tit identified the bee nest box as a good source of fresh grubs…

Every reprobate lady who tries to bully (helpless little old) me, into getting a cat, whinges about being woken up at ungodly hours @mushen.bsky.social @juliaann.bsky.social @nettekin.bsky.social

I love you so much

🤣😘 Mrs Tony’s approach is a tad more brutal

Man gardening- wife on the porch calls out “I'm doing some reorganizing—are there any of your possessions that you want to keep?"

Oh well, this was a bit earlier, probably 1975-ish

Ours got fed prime rib-eye leftovers. I love the fantasy of them interacting with us, but I think it’s important they retain a basic fear of humans. #UrbanWildlife
