Shock horror - a new post!!!

Yeah, alright, it's been ages.

Problem is a lot of the best stuff I've been involved in of late has involved some degree of non-disclosure. For example, I've been doing a lot of work for the corrections service, but I'm pretty sure I'd be in trouble if I go into details.

Shame, 'cause there's been some very good stuff... you know, doors not working, doors opening at random (kinda bad for a prison), funny plumbing issues. Lotsa funny shit... Ask me later in person, if you like.

All at home is fine. We've got a house guest. My friend and training partner, Kurt, has sold up and is going overseas. Having no house, He's staying with us while He saves up dosh for a trip to Europe. So, He's moved into the spare room. This is Basil's room.

Even when the door is closed, Basil can actually open it. So it goes like this: Kurt goes to bed, closing the door behind him - Basil wants to open the door to come in. You can see where this is going, can't you... Basil opens the door to sleep on the bed. Kurt gets up to close the door, 'cause it's cold. Then Bas wants to go out at, say, 4 in the morning. And makes lotsa noise 'till he gets let out.

Needless to say, Kurt wasn't completely happy with this arrangement. Unfortunately, merely closing the door didn't work, 'cause Baz would just barge it open and get in anyway. Eventually Kurt found that if He put a bunch of shoes against the door Basil couldn't push it open. This is all very well in theory.

In practice, the Girlie and I can be drifting off to sleep when we hear *BASH* *THUD*
*BANG* - as Basil tries to bash the spare room door open. This then attracts Pheobe's attention, and She goes out to chase Baz for a bit...

And what about the Pheob? How is She dealing with a new bod in the house? Well, Kurt's had a dog before, so He knows how to deal with them. When Pheob jumps all over Him, He completely ignores Her. His theory is - "If I'm not interesting, She won't be interested..."

This actually works very well for Him. On one night, both the Girlie and I get home later than normal. And Pheob won't go inside with Kurt. Actually, He did get Her in the other week, but He had to impersonate my voice to call Her in...

Of course, someone else in the house means there's more stuff for the dog to steal. The other day, Kurt and I were in the lounge watching a movie. Pheob comes flying down the hall, through the lounge, and out the cat-door. With some item of contraband in Her mouth. "So, did you leave your door open?", I asked. Yep, says Kurt. "What'd She steal then?" Off He goes to investigate. Apparently there was a date scone in a bag on the bedside table...

Lotsa fun...

Added bonus: I saw a site today, the rather dodgily named stuffonmycat.com

Nothing involving beastiality, just funny cat pics. Enjoy...
