History, Politics And Current Affairs

Despite civilisation and tech, our instincts belong to a prey species.

So, I was warily preparing a tranche of pointing mix when my nape-hair prickled.

I was being watched by a predator...

I swept the garden wall's cat shelves with a glance, found they were empty.

Many years ago, one of our cats would not come in from his dusk patrol until you met his eyes. I had the knack of spotting him quickly.

I looked around again...

Aha !!
Ms. Robbie, puzzled...

Spot the bee ??

Ms Robbie on cat-shelves over patio's p-porch...

Adorable little murderer...

Ms. Robbie sat through me hosing wall, clattering step-ladder, swearing at balky mix, swearing as mix escaped from hawk, trowel and gap...
Next time you see this, there'll be a new cat-shelf and a cleated ramp to patio canopy...

Yes, I know that, unlike the square shelves' brackets' Ls, their diagonal braces are rusting-- So much for claim of 'Stainless Steel' !!

But, the braces are 'tongue & slot', dismount readily.
I plan to wire-brush clean, dangle from knotted kitchen string, spray with Jenolite one-dose 'Direct to Rust'...

Great pictures
Great Cat

Is that a bengal?
