She is very good. Was an excellent hunter today. I thought we had another rat in here again. I can say we don't have one now. She got it and made it look easy. Many cats won't even try to get them. I did water my plants today....

Fleur Well done to her! Most cats catch small birds which you don't want them to catch of course, and just leave the rats to get on with it!

I went out to dinner tonight with my husband and a colleague he hasn't seen in quite some time. My husband asked me to come along and I said I thought it would be better if the 2 of them just met and had dinner so they could talk...

Fleur I hate those events for workers and their partners (usually wives/girlfriends) and the assumption that you will get along with those people when you have absolutely nothing in common other than that you have some sort of relationship with someone who works for...

Fleur @Kouponkaren Luckily I don't have siblings. That means I got everything and all the responsibility as well, but no-one to argue with either : ) I have furniture from my mother, much of it was from her family home as a child and some of that from her parents...

Fleur @AmbiePam It's also against the idea of cutting consumerism and ending the 'throw-away society' - because she encouraged everyone to toss lots of stuff out and then they have to buy more when they find they need something!

Fleur @Kouponkaren Marie Kondo has made a fortune telling people to get rid of anything that doesn't 'spark joy'. Well an electric drill or a family tree or an interview suit won't spark joy, but it sure comes in handy in the right circumstances! I'm willing to bet...

Fleur @JudyEv Interesting story (yes I could read it OK, thanks). I'm sure there were tests that didn't work, but they basically just had to keep going to make it work, didn't they? Even after the catching alight incidents It says he used it to tow two...

Does every household have a ‘random nuts and bolts tub’, or is that just me? I don’t know how it started, but this collection of odd nuts and bolts, screws and nails has been gradually growing over the years. Maybe there are just...

Fleur I can understand that - but again, there's a limit to how much space you can devote to jars with just one or two screws in each!

On our way home from the endurance ride in Ravensthorpe, Western Australia, we stopped in a truck bay to have a cup of coffee. There was a pile of seeds of some sort on the ground. I thought they might have been coffee beans,...

Fleur @JudyEv I think all the names are the same species, but fava beans are much smaller than the garden varieties of broad beans. In your picture they do look exactly like broad beans, but miniature. I am curious now!

Fleur He 'brought back all the parts he needed' - imagine if you found you had forgotten one crucial bit and it was hundreds of miles to go back for it - no wonder these people were/are inventive!

Fleur That's impressive, I've never heard of anyone actually building their own tractor but it would certainly make it customisable to your own particular conditions. If it was so economical they should have gone into production!

Fleur To me they look just like broad/field/fava beans. You could have picked up a couple and germinated them to see what you got?

Fleur It's terrible that you don't feel safe. How can that be a 'nice' area? I think this country is going to the dogs but even so it has never even crossed my mind that I would feel unsafe out on my own!
