No. fairly new, push opening windows with metal frames.It wasn't one of the windows that have a cord at the sides was it? Sometimes they fray and the window will just slide down until you fix it.
Especially whilst sleeping topless?In fact, it was so warm, that had the massed pipe bands of the Highlanders come marching down the road at one a m, I probably still wouldn't have shut the window.
Well, not quite Norfolk, but the king of Paris fashion in the mid-1800s was Charles Worth, who was actually born in South Lincolnshire.I was in the kitchen last eve and had the tv on just as background noise really while I washed up etc. That programme 'Britains Most Historic Towns'', presented by Alice Roberts had come on. I am aware of the series, but can't watch it due to that 'shaky camera' nonsense that they still insist on doing even though I've told them all that it drives me mad.
Anyway, the 'strange' bit was that I heard her say ''At one point in time, it was Norfolk that you went to for high fashion, not Paris''.
Did I hear correctly? No mention of Cromer as far as I'm aware.
It seems to be their answer for everything these days!Not for any medical reason but just because they're sadists, yeah?
Tied to the bed, she can't answer.What happened, what happened, what happened????!!!!
Loosened the ties to reveal - nothing happened. The window (left open all night) moved not one jot. So it remains - a minor strangeness.Tied to the bed, she can't answer.
Damn. I didn't think that one through properly.Tied to the bed, she can't answer.
You certainly kept us in suspense.Loosened the ties to reveal - nothing happened. The window (left open all night) moved not one jot. So it remains - a minor strangeness.
The cat was back in my front garden again - same red collar.A funny incident earlier - there was a black cat sat on my front garden wall which is about 3 ft high. A youngish girl was walking by on the pavement with her dog on a lead. The dog was interested in the cat & stopped right in front of it, probably no more than 3 feet away. I thought at first it was going to go for it but it was wagging it’s tail & appeared to just want to interact & stay close to it, maybe play with it. This went on for about 5 minutes with the girl trying to entice the dog away after a while but it didn’t want to know & just remained on the pavement directly in front of it wagging it’s tail.
Eventually she pulled the dog away & regretfully it moved, checking back on the cat as it went. Throughout the whole incident the cat didn’t move even once.
A couple of other pedestrians noticed the stand-off & stopped to watch for a while in amusement.
I think most cats wont, they're too classyThe cat was back in my front garden again - same red collar.
I think it’s a recent arrival & is going for the most popular cat in the street award. This cat loves everyone & everyone loves it. It’ll stop to be fussed over by anyone, as is becoming regular.
I gave it a bit of a chuck behind the ears, it then started to cough & retch looking like it was about to vomit. On my front path - lovely. Anyway I beat a hasty retreat at this point & when I got back from the shops, no vomit to be seen so I’ll let it off.
I suppose it could’ve puked then eaten it again while it was still warm, as per dogs. Do cats do that?
Yeah dogs are shameless.I think most cats wont, they're too classy
Plus where's the fun for the cat if it can't watch some human clean up after them? Our feline masters know when they're onto a good thing.I think most cats wont, they're too classy
No but they do put on a good show, always on the rug, have people shoving pieces of paper towel under their little jaws, and then just walk away.The cat was back in my front garden again - same red collar.

I used to open up a hotel at about 6:30 every morning and there was swarms of the twats around the beer taps. I used to use some sort of flammable aerosol can and a cigarette lighter which was very effective although the can could have exploded and splattered my hand .. I was like Bill Paxton in ALIENS .. ... I used to do the same thing when I was a kid in my bedroom.I spoke too soon. I was just making toast in the kitchen and spotted one flying around.
Climatic conditions making them congregate in a certain part of the building?There is no reason for these flies to have made such an effort to get in here.
'Cluster flies' are terrible too. Easy to catch, but it takes a good while to get rid of them all as they just keep coming, but you can't work out where they're coming from. Hundreds appear on your windows out of the blue. Had it happen 2 or 3 times in this house.
Those sticky strips that you hang up are good for catching the little blighters.
I think you can get them in most 'pound shops'.
I've had an outbreak of fruit flies (Drosophila) in my office for the last two years - it's worst in winter and they largely disappear over the summer. I try to make sure there's no waste food in the bin and the windows are all sealed - they congregate near water ie the sink, the fish tank, fridge and freezer and on the condensation on the dry ice container. I use an electric tennis racket squatter (very satisfying) and fly-paper rolls - this one was 5 days old.I spoke too soon. I was just making toast in the kitchen and spotted one flying around.
Could be a heart problem. They wheeze and sound like they're about to upchuck, but they have some kind of heart fluke I think.The cat was back in my front garden again - same red collar.

Can also just be furballs. They retch but nothing happens. Eventually it will. In your slippers, usually.Could be a heart problem. They wheeze and sound like they're about to upchuck, but they have some kind of heart fluke I think.
and provided a nutty tasting snack for later on.fly-paper rolls - this one was 5 days old
Furballs more likely I reckon. Anyway, not my cat so...Could be a heart problem. They wheeze and sound like they're about to upchuck, but they have some kind of heart fluke I think.
