Mains nibbler.
Just a heads-up that Lidl have a mains nibbler on offer from next
Thursday. Might suit those with no compressed air supply, like me. I have an ancient Hitachi one which cost and arm an a leg used - and this is the first budget priced one I've seen. -- *Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

Our current cats are called Jaffa, Josie and Jenna (there is a bit of a theme going on here). Jaffa is a ginger tom, sometimes called Jaffa Cake; Josie often sits for hours very upright and totally unmoving, so she is also known as Pot Cat; while Jenna is a *large* cat (both naturally large and a total glutton - 8.5kg) and is known as Fat Cat. |
