An oil tanker sailing with a full load of oil past my Hypericum shrub in the garden. I grew that shrub from one of my cuttings.
My blog title would be a good name for a Prog Rock band.

The poor pets must be sweltering in their fur coats.
ReplyDeleteDid the tanker driver give you a wave as they passed by?
" Mad dogs and Englishman go out in the midday sun".
ReplyDeleteThe poor pets need lots of pubs and shade with this heat wave JayCee. I don't know if the tanker driver waved but funnily enough I have met the tug pilot.
All the cats here have she'd so much fur they look kilos lighter. Everyone leaves water out for them but they seem to prefer the dirty water at the bottom of a pot plant tray.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. We took the dog for a trim and shampoo and nails cut the other day. I think they like dirty water because they can't see their own reflection.
ReplyDeleteWe bought an old round feeding trough at an antiques fair years ago, very heavy, possibly for pigs, and keep that full of water. The result is that our garden is now on the 'route' for every cat in the neighbourhood as well as lots of birds. We put some large pebbles in the bottom so the little birds have something to stand on. Gives us lots to look at!
ReplyDeleteDo you mean Northsider or Cat Pub and Oil Tanker for the band name? Northsider would be a good folk-rock band I think - like Lindisfarne.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a pig feeding trough the veg artist. They originally had metal bars across the top of them. Great way of attracting domestic pets and wildlife.
ReplyDeleteThe bike shed would be another good name for a band. Lindisfarne are a great band with some classic tracks like Meet Me On The Corner.., Fog On The Tyne..?
ReplyDeleteThe Bike Shed would be a good name for a place to store bikes. Behind it you could snog or smoke Woodbines.
DeleteBehind The Bike Shed would be a good name. " Can I have species on your Park Drive Headmistress?"

ReplyDeleteAKTHAR: (Looking through binoculars) Look there Farad! On The Sheep Shed Peninsula! I swear that that is a hypericum shrub.
FARAD: Let me see... Isn't it gorse Akthar? Oh, there's a man there. I think he is...Yes he is! He's having a widdle.
AKTHAR These natives. They are so uncivilised. Thank Allah that we live in Iran.
My daughter bought a paddling pool for the dog and he won't go near it, she is using it instead, lol

Your daughter is very wise Briony. Lol.
DeleteAKTHAR: What are Rushes and what is red lemonade?
ReplyDeleteFARAD: They read the Southern Star and like Doner Kebabs.
AKTHAR: Great. What are Briquettes?
FARAD: I have no idea what briquettes are but I know what happens when an oil tanker hits a feckin' rock! Watch where yer goin' Akthar!
DeleteAKTHAR: Allah will protect us.
FARAD: You mean like a coronavirus mask?
Inshallah, Farad. Inshallah.
DeleteAKTHAR: We have been too long in Hibernia if ye are saying feck.
ReplyDeleteFARAD: Cop on or I'll throw one of my runners at ye.
AKTHAR: Begorrah! Bejabbers!
ReplyDeleteFarad: I'm off to Lidl for a box of cheese and onion Tayto crisps.
ReplyDeleteAkthar: You want to see if you can nab some pork rinds as well?
ReplyDeleteThe End.😊
