    We must have been snipping at the same time @cactus_girl! I have just cut OH's hair. He doesn't do mine though. I'll leave that to Marie, my usual girl.

      We did too. I had near waist length then in 2018/19 I spent 42 days in hospital and got fed up with it strangling me so had it cut off like my avatar and have kept it that way since.

          Same thing that's taken place since last Tuesday....I'm fostering a mother cat and her three kittens. A full-time job keeping them fed, amused and cleaning up the litter tray :eeew:

              Not feral, they were trapped by a well-meaning but stupid neighbour of the 'owner' who then left them for 4 days in a coypu trap in full sun. Local rescue association got involved and appealed for someone to house them temporarily. 'Mum' is a lovely, friendly little cat who doesn't look much older than a kitten herself but is 3. We've already decided not to take on any more than our two 14 year-olds. Nobody to look after them if something happens to us.....There are several people interested in re-homing them once 'Mum' is sterilised :) 20240806_184258.jpg 20240815_172909.jpg 20240815_172930.jpg 20240815_173158.jpg

                  Apart from harvesting this morning I've been doing a lot of cooking as Mrs Shiney is teaching students all day. I've now fed them and am taking a rest before doing the washing up. When I've done that I shall reward myself with a choc ice. :pathd:

                    Couldn't separate them.....although I've got a marked preference for girlies since having French tomcats with appalling territorial tendencies!

                        Lucky you! There was a point where I had to clingfilm every vertical surface up to 1m and just wash the floor every day ...

                        They look gorgeous.
                        I don't need the meat, but dipping a yorkie into gravy is a must-have.
