Spot on my wife showed me a video of Mr Beans last night, we bought them one of those flappy battery powered fish you can get and while the others loved it he's just there backing away slowly and meeping at it. I think Ragdolls are barely cats though I love him dearly. The other Ragdoll is similar (we have a new one now, a stray we share with a neighbour, I couldnt actually tell you which one it was now I think, tho suspect that one rather than the boy because the stray is a bit skittish)

Oh, bless. Susan screams at the ceiling and will smell the walls sometimes. I would love to swap lives with her.

There's something about the bigger fluffier breeds, I swear. Mr Beans and his ladyfriend are the same. The other two are mostly normal. Sometimes I wonder if they can see things we can't

having black cats is a nightmare at times isn't it, why I chose to get a second one after how many times I almost had a heart attack at not being able to find my first one

There are never too many pictures of Sideboard Cat! She has eyes that see things, she stares into my soul.

My cat is watching Wimbledon upside down on my bed. She is not bright. She does enjoy tennis, football, rugby and F1. Forgive my hand but at least there are no dubious fingernails on display.

I wanted to talk about this on the MT but then thought it was too off topic and a bit me-raily. But I wish people realised that it can actually be nice being single. And sometimes just taking time to not be with anyone is a really positive thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m so happy for everyone I know in happy relationships, it‘s a beautiful thing. But I’ve been single for a couple of years now, and I’m ok with it. Also my head isn’t in the right place just now.

Sorry, I don’t know where I’m going with this, it’s just really dawned on me that “society” thinks if you’re not in a relationship, you must be looking for one, but that’s always the case.

No apology needed. You always express yourself so well.

I think that pairs well with the phrase “you’ll find love when you least expect it”.

Why do you need to “find love”? Who says? Everyone navigates life differently. Some people are with one person for 50 odd years. Some people are with one person for a while, that relationship ends for whatever reason and then they are fine being on their own. Others are always on their own, others are sometimes with people, sometimes not. Why does it matter?

The MT tonight has left a horrid feeling, and then sadness from Instagram means it is just an odd night. I don’t know why it is horrid. Not ick, just horrid.

Exactly @Sideboard Bob, when my husband & I split I constantly got told I’ll meet someone else soon and to funnily enough get myself on Tinder but as I think I’ve said on here I really enjoy being single and having my little flat to myself and not having to justify treating myself to a new bath mat or an ornament.
I’m actually meant to be going on a date on Friday and seriously thinking of rearranging him because it’s Stranger Things day, it sounds awful but I’m kind of regretting accepting the offer I don’t think my heart is in it.

That’s sweet of you to say, thank you, so do you Tunnely

That’s exactly it yes! And all the situations you describe are so normal, but sometimes it’s not seen that way, and it’s a shame you know?
I’m just here for everyone doing what‘s right for them and delighted for anyone that finds happiness in their own way.

Ugh I’m sorry to hear that, I understand about the MT, but I’m sorry about the sadness from Instagram too.

Oh gosh yes, I can imagine it’s not fun hearing that, even though people who say it probably mean well.
That’s it yes, I’m feel lucky to live alone (plus Bobcat)! And it’s so good to hear that you’re enjoying your life as it is just now.

He can’t be that good a date for you if he doesn’t know Friday is Stranger Things day. Imagine you explained, and he ended up being relived because he was also wanting to stay in and watch it though.

Um, ladies, I put you out on the sparse hill because I didn't want you piling on too much weight from the richer grass in my fields.

They obviously didn't get the memo. Lady nearest the camera is Not-So-Little Nine!



And hopefully my neighbour will have enough time to cut and bale this when he does his own fields next to it - should get about half my winter hay needs off this if he can

Oh, well, if you insist on cat spam. Here she is displaying very poise, much grace.



Lads I'm doing a chaos again, send wasted NHS time-os. The side effects from my new medication I was confident would go in another week did not go so I'm back on my old medication. I'm only joking about wasted NHS time as I still obviously wasn't well and needed help but I do feel a bit silly and very, very sweaty. My fingertips are visibly glistening, so that's nice. On the plus side I've nearly finished a little microslop drum & bass version of Landslide. I capped it at 1:45 because nobody asked for it and, let's face it, nobody wants it

You're right Sidey B. Sometimes people end up defined by their partner or lack of, maybe there's a general perception (especially for over 30s) that if you're single you must be in some way defective? Fortunately I don't feel under any pressure to be in a relationship although I want one eventually, I'm also quite clearly not in the right space for it now either. Ultimately it's a good thing for people to be comfortable by themselves and not rely on being made complete by another person. Sorry if this didn't make sense.

I was extremely happy being single for years. Watching friends go through the grind of dating apps and constant first dates looks exhausting and demoralising for the most part. I decided ages ago not to actively look for a relationship and that suited me fine.

(Mr Pixie was a literal love-at-first-sight situation for me, though I'd never inflate his ego by telling him that I still didn't pursue him though - he made a move several months after we met and I was so surprised that my feelings were reciprocated that I decided to give things a go)

He doesn’t watch, I think I’ve found the only person on the planet who doesn’t watch it.

Until recently , I had been happily single ( with the odd casual thing ) for 10 years . Then I started going on a few dates with a few people , and one of them is worth giving up my happy single life for . That said , it’s very early days, he hasn’t properly met my kids yet, nor me his , and although we have both said we want to see where it goes, I wouldn’t be heartbroken if it all fizzles out , and I end up single for another 10 years .

in contrast, one of the other people i was seeing before oh ( ) and I became exclusive, had bounced from relationship to relationship since she was 21 , and pretty much was the walking lesbian stereotype of planning the names of our new fur babys, and if we would move in to her place or mine by the end of the first date .

Sidey T, would you please congratulate the Pet Slop Boys on their epic Glastonbury set at the weekend next time they're in your studio?
