    The video made me snort laughing, I’ve heard that music used for all kind of things but this one was perfection!

      I usually watch videos without the music because most of the time itโ€™s just annoying but your comment made me go rewatch with the volume up. And so right, just perfect. It was funny without it but the music makes it a zillion times better. And he definitely looked like a turtle on a mission!

    Yeah for Penny!! Such a regal looking and just gorgeous Dobbie. The wildlife center here does amazing work. They were the ones that hand raised the bear cubs wearing fur coats or bear suits so they wouldnโ€™t imprint on humans. Iโ€™m going to peruse the list later and send some stuff for the wild babies. Cat pics had me laughing, thereโ€™s so many great photos I could caption but this is in my top 10. No touchie the fishie!!!

    Definitely need a laugh this morning, I woke up at 5 am to the sound of a helicopter circling the area. Donโ€™t know if itโ€™s a traffic copter, looking for a missing person, or looking for someone involved in a crime but itโ€™s slightly unnerving. And nothing on the news yet.

      A few months ago I had a VERY close encounter with a helicopter hovering over the Shortcakery. It was so low I could see the shadow of the rotor blades on the flat roof of the utility room. I was indoors at the time but people came out of the flats in the next street to see what all the noise was about!

    The slow motion boop was hilarious – absolutely the best use of the “Jaws” theme I’ve ever seen!

    Also, today is my birthday and I got exactly what I wanted – a pension and a free bus pass! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜„

    • Georgiana February 5, 2026 / 9:21 am

      Happy birthday Alice!

      Here we get a free bus pass at 65 years old, the pension can be taken at 60 but if you want the full amount you have to wait until you’re 65.

      Happy birthday!!! About one of the only thing good about getting older is the discounts and freebies. Enjoy your day!!

      Happy Birthday Alice! Many happy returns โค๏ธ

    Thanks, both of you! I’m 66 – when I was a kid women could retire at 60, but it was worth the wait. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the bus pass can be used on local services all over England, not just in the York area.

    Love that boop so much. And the dog shows pups. And the wildlife shower–the raccoon with its bottle made me swoon.

    Looking forward to amazing cat pix later.

    Sending N. Fritz some more hugs–I keep thinking about sweet Mutz rhyms with puts.

      Now the big kitty just needs to climb onto the swing and sit there swishing their tail, like Maru used to do.
