Uh oh!

Tempted to do my own small bit for the war effort by boycotting US product.

Not all that hard, as i do not eat out much, and when i do, it ain't McDonalds.

But what is this? Whiskas cat food is US owned?

How shall i tell him?

Mr Paws (Ulfric) wondering whether today is worth getting out of bed for...

And then i stuck a cushion on the stool for him.
January 10, 2026 at 10:27 PM
Proof. He finds it harder to jump up to his window ledge.

So now he has a half way stool.

Now wondering if you have the excellent line of paxo products in the US?

When trans folk point out that denying or delaying treatment that can enable them to live their authentic lives might lead to self-harm, we're accused of shroud-waving, ghoulishness and blackmail.

But when a bunch of farmers threaten to off themselves, because taxes, that's totally OK.

Funny that!

Well, that was unexpected...

On #chess.com, playing as white. The game actually went:

1. e4 g5
2. d4 f6
3. Qh5#

Think the guy had a death wish...

Now with added cushion!
December 5, 2025 at 9:45 AM
Who, me? Spoil this cat? Nah!

It's just he likes to sit on the window ledge and watch the world go by.

And as he's got older, I notice he finds it harder to jump up.

So of course i added a half-way perch for him!

Shocked, i am. Shocking it is!

Out today, shopping at morrisons, when my eye beheld a monstrous sight.

Two trees. Naked. In full view of the public.

Yet, as you can plainly see. Nowhere on these (or the other two dozen or so standing by) is there a sign saying "Christmas "!

Too good not to share...

If only Labour had a Fat Controller!

And then, there's this...

Meanwhile, Mr P is chowing down on some chicken.
October 18, 2025 at 9:04 PM
Now this is just getting silly!

I am under that mound of fur!

Once upon a time, if I poked him, he had the grace to move. A little.

Now, he just shoves back!

Damned antifa...

...they get everywhere!

Is it just me? Or does anyone else think Marvel is a better predictor of end of times than the Book of Revelation?

You can also add my mum to that list. Born white British. But thanks to a wonderful British bit of xenophobia, when she married a foreigner/refugee in 1945 was reclassified as 'an alien.'

One has only to thing about simple phrases like "My God! I'm coming!", which take on wholly different shades of meaning according to whether they are uttered in one's marital bed... or on one's death bed.

Meanwhile. Time to go. I hear a "Meow!" from down below and... he sounds cross!
September 19, 2025 at 11:31 AM
...he has only to ask for chicken to appear.

Whereas for me the fascination is how the singular "Meow!" packs so many layers of meaning.

I would love to lay claim to discovery of "locational semantics." Alas, i fear, it has likely already been mmuch written about.
September 19, 2025 at 11:31 AM
The fridge thing is, in fact, a recent development. I have started greeting him in the morning and, as i take my jam n butter from the fridge, he has frequently ended up a chicken slice better off.

Clearly he has now determined that the fridge is the source of infinite chicken, and...
September 19, 2025 at 11:31 AM
What is interesting is that the "Meow!" is delivered UP stairs. Then, he sits and waits for me to follow down stairs into the room or space where the command is to be executed.

Going out: he goes and sits by the back door.

Tea time: he heads for his food bowl.

Fridge: he sits by the fridge.
September 19, 2025 at 11:31 AM
...even though he knows perfectly well that tea is not until 5.30.

To this, now, i must add "Meow!" at any time of day to remind me that there are chicken slices in the fridge, and they belong to him.
September 19, 2025 at 11:31 AM
...not always the same semantic content.

For instance, "Meow!" early morn indicates "day has broken - why am i still indoors?"

A little later, it may indicate "I have shat! Why haz staff not cleaned up after me yet?"

Later still: "It is teatime. Where is tea?"

This last often delivered at 5...

Locational semantics. In which a very amateur linguist, dabbles in more advanced topics.

With cat.

So. Mr P is a very vocal creature. I tend to work upstairs. But from time to time my work is punctuated by the sounding of a most plaintive meow.

Always the same meow.

But...
