"It’s a canopy. A f***ing canopy. That everyone thinks is a perfectly reasonable thing. And it’s taken five years, three planning applications, god knows how much expense, and now hundreds of pages of forms and three separate consultancies just to install something to stop the rain."

A pub in London Fields is trying to put up a timber canopy over its outside seating.

The planning process so far has taken FIVE YEARS. That’s longer than it took to build the entire Hoover Dam. capx.co/nimby-watch-...

I felt really bad when I moved house and took him away from his little buddy.

Here we go, a couple of months later, chilling.

Photo of two cats on a garden patio. A ginger cat is lying on the ground with its belly open. The ginger and white one is sitting nearby, looking away. Both are looking in the direction of the camera.

Ah, they genuinely were friends. They'd nap on the patio next to each other.

My previous cat Elgar had to live with friend until I moved into my flat, and Elgar managed to squeeze through a gap behind the loo pipe and hide behind the bath panel. Cats 🙄

And this little fella, who looks similar, is a lil buddy that Parkin made in my old house. They liked to hang out and play with each other.

There's an episode of Locationx3 where the couple's current home is filmed with their massive ginger cat sprawled on the bed. They ended up moving to the street behind where I used to live and that cat spent a significant amount of time asleep on *my* (and probably the other neighbours') bed.

As an incurable surfer of RightMove, one of my little obsessions is photographs of houses where a pet has wandered into the shot to get in on the action. This tousled behemoth of a cat is a notable favourite.

A bland but not particularly awful modern living space with what appears to be a full-size mountain lion in the corner of the room, who is feeling bumptious, having just returned from a salon.

Yes! As I said in my email, I do suspect a lot of the recent rise in obvious racism (rather than the usual undercurrents) is an increase in brown workers and tourists.
