Grizz' Prozac for the Soul 🚙 Berlingo Multispace 28/01/22

Thought I would share these pics as there are some animal lovers on here as well.

Dukey who came back here a few months ago has settled back fully, and another great sign is that he now spends a fair amount of time outside and at the back door.

This makes me happy, as he really was a sad cat when he came back.

Tail up after inspecting the grass when I cut it is a great look for him, has also picked up quite a bit of weight.



Early mornings after they are fed the back deck is a perfect place to rest up



Came home from London last night, settled with dinner and noticed Harley at the fire wood box, trying to get her paw in through the pile.......

Yup.... must be wildlife.

An hour later while watching an episode of Overhaulin I caught a mouse in the corner of my eye, scarpering from fire wood to the next corner.

So I unpacked all the carp there and of course had Harley there to investigate.

She is a keen mouser



She changed positions a while later and just sat here motionless for more an an hour, later she moved off and by the time I went to bed, the mouse must have moved as well, as Harley was locked in in a different room.



This morning she is guarding the refrigerator in a motionless pose again, so I guess the mouse moved again.

Cats can be pretty stupid.

And just for a smile, Dennis sent a pic last night, seems the Hellcat has been kicked out by his off-road golf cart.........

He and the dogs travel all over his place and the neighbours places with them when they are not on the quads.



Weekend is here.

Morning Rian - Sid one of Dukeys distant relatives lives with us - he was rehomed from a rescue centre at the end of last year and it has taken some time for the trust / settling in process to occur (don't think he had that good of a life before he came to us) - but he is now a proper character and we would not be without him - likes to explore my workshop on occasions too where he has a part time job has my quality controller

Good to see that Dukey has his tail up once again.

Keep smiling!

P.

Had to collect two parcels from the post Office Depot yesterday.

One was from Australia.

Thank you very much RBlote.

They are hugely cool and will go well with my collection.

He entry pass will of course get hung in the garage too.







Over at Katy's for the rest of the weekend.

She does not do bootfairs, bit of a snob........

But yesterday afternoon we went to a bootfair about 5 miles from her place.

Not massive, and no traders, which is a good thing.

Loads of random stuff, mostly older people selling stuff they paid too much for 20 years ago when it was in vogue.

First item, not photographed is a large, read efficient, hairdryer for £3.00 to replace the one that she had at my place for her visits, as the old one blew up. Happy with that.
Katy got a paperback for 50p for her holiday in Greece.
And she got a pack of thermal socks for her brother.

Found this sign in French, which I do not read, for £1.00 but perfect for a random wall on the shed.

£1.00 bargain in my world, ally backed as well and great condition.



Same lady had this plate..... for £2.00

Why?? I hear you ask.

Dennis' partner Debbie collects Christmas stuff amongst others, and this is outside of her remit, but last year I found her a very collectible side plate that I posted out, badly wrapped and it got broken, so his one is to "replace" that one, it is of Sandringham which to her, as a Royal watcher, may have some value.
Just need to pack it more securely before I post it out this time.



Another ornament, this time for Katy at cost of £1.00
She has three that I bought before for £5.00 and has them hanging around her house.
Happy girl.



Lastly, at 50p a piggy getting sick the morning after.

This is for her younger daughter, who like many youngsters, has not realised that alcohol will always win if you over do it.

Katy always makes her a little parcel of stuff when she heads back to Uni, so this will be included.

I doubt that she will get the message, but worth the laugh.



No bootfairs today though.

Off to take little princess to lunch.

Certainly was Renee,

I have sent stuff to South Africa and it takes up to three months, which is a bit rubbish.

I think the free entry is a great way to encourage the hobby too.

I think the French sign means "Do not block Fire Station". Oh and have you realised your thread title reads Berlino and not Berlingo?

stops you getting poked in the eye by the cane

My good friend CraigRK is in the USA at the moment.

He already has these two cars with another truck headed out here.

San Francisco to be precise, for work.

Sadly, he is experiencing all the pleasures of being a guest in that great country.

He has been sharing photos and observations.

This one yesterday made me smile. Just how mad has the world become??

At least I never saw any of this sort of madness when I traveled mid-America.



Sadly, he is stuck in San Francisco over the weekend and only has a Credit cards, SatNav and a Harley.

My heart bleeds for the man........

Maybe he will find another truck to buy while riding out.





And in my own life, a small change of fortune........

After a couple of years of my employers not getting it right, it seems they screwed up my taxes again, but this time in my favour.

So what to do with the windfall... we'll, it was my money in the first place.

Addit to Prozac and buy a truck, or just leave it to earn zero percent interest.




Almost the weekend.

Going to look if I can find a small treasure that I was informed about yesterday...... thanks to MercDan.

Love that French sign, if you ever want to sell it let me know - I'm trying to do my house up and we are doing a 50's/USA/industrial style kitchen diner mash up and need red/white stuff to put on one wall.

Hopefully we are off to USA again soon (crosses fingers for next year) and can get some nice plates like you have.

I can't do stuff on a Sunday morning as I am busy so miss all the bootfairs around W Yorks, only ones I've ever been to have been rubbish and full of traders wanting ££££££ for stuff which should be in landfill!!
