Skitterflutes

“Skitterflutes” was what Mum called tiny new potatoes, the sort you find when you grow your own and have to be scraped as there’d be nothing left if you peeled them.  I don’t know whether it’s Northumbrian, Tyneside, Scottish, Irish or family coinage.

I’ve just witnessed Felix the cat standing on the side of the bath and drinking Fester's bath water. 

By the time I got the camera he'd stopped.

I was right!  Fester has had letter from sleep clinic 

"severe obstructive sleep apnoea" - the lung people will be sending him a machine to blow air up his nose as he sleeps.

Strawangel  Eeeeh  You'll not know yourself missus.......when was the last time you had undisturbed sleep?

Bentonbag  November 15th when he went to the sleep clinic - before that any time he's away for the past 17 years and 4 months

Henlady  So glad to hear they can help Fester.
