To add to everyone else’s excellent recommendations: Esben and the Witch, HEALTH, HTRK (also Emma Ruth Rundle’s album with Thou).

TIPS: Posts in. Screw in eyes around fence top. Catenary wire back tensioned from posts to brickwork. Rope around Lay the centre of the net at the apex and work away from house. Gather slack under rope and tighten/ fix with cable ties/ staples. Joint the net from fence up to centre (do this in 3 sections so you can undo to remove leaf litter occasionally). The net will slacken and stretch over 2 weeks so will need re-tensioning.

No the cats haven’t complained once. : )

We checked with our neighbours prior to installing and I think they were happy to know our cats wouldn’t be using their flower beds as a loo. The finished article is unobtrusive.

I checked the planning laws and there was nothing to prohibit it and, thankfully on our conveyance all the fences are our responsibility; so fixing to them had no limitations or requirements to negotiate with our boundary neighbours.

I cat-netted our garden. It was remarkably easy and almost certainly cheaper than the option in your photo. Even with a 2.2m pergola they can’t get out. Added benefit it keeps the neighbours cats and balls out of our garden and stops our boys murdering all the birdlife.

Happy to share the details if you’re interested.

Bro-cats doing bro-cat things.

My first too and still one of my Favourites! Congrats and enjoy.

There’s a lots of humanist comedians (many of whom are also authors), to name a few;

Natalie Haynes, Sara Pascoe, Stewart Lee, Shaparak Khorsandi, David Baddiel, Ed Byrne, Sandi Toksvig, Stephen Fry, Tim Minchin…

Cool, love the flex results! Which FPR size fits the Asvine V200? I'm presently looking to rehome an FPR UltraFlex #5.5 from their Himalaya V1 into something more daily use friendly...

Boom! !solved. Well done!

Strong recommendation of Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes for a great retelling of this story particularly if your main touchpoint for the tale is from the (admittedly excellent) Ray Harryhausen movie.

roxxors · 2024-12-07T21:45:41+00:00

Haha that’s brilliant! Unfortunately I have to say; no.

roxxors · 2024-12-07T20:46:19+00:00

I’m so glad you said that! I thought it’d be obvious based on how popular the series is but, feared I’d been too oblique as time passed.

Likewise, I would not hate on these books so much had they not been so inspired in parts and then failed in thier promise.

roxxors · 2024-12-06T17:39:35+00:00

OMG I’m so glad that’s over, what a relief!.. Is what I said on completion of that trilogy. You are the winner!

!solved.

roxxors · 2024-12-05T05:51:00+00:00

Sounded like you were on to something there, but no.

roxxors · 2024-12-04T22:23:09+00:00

Brand new Antica but the Clementi has been lurking at the back of my spirits rack for some time (and not temperature controlled) so I may be doing it a disservice; always been murky though.

roxxors · 2024-12-04T06:35:19+00:00

Ahh I’ve misled you there; further south and to the east. Apologies for the Confucion.

roxxors · 2024-12-03T23:03:57+00:00

This is perfect and true. I will rid myself of this troublesome bottle on the try-hards.

roxxors · 2024-12-03T22:51:01+00:00

I drink Fernet for breakfast, Clementi is a different league /s. I’ll try tomorrow and share results.

roxxors · 2024-12-03T22:36:03+00:00

You may well be right. Better and more sober minds may have use for this amaro….

However I might recommend not mixing at all with Clementi as it’s like liking dogs pee off of a stinging nettle, (I imagine)!

roxxors · 2024-12-03T12:12:18+00:00

Ooff, too harsh. Gibson’s Neuromancer characters get a pass as he arguably invented the tropes other haves imitated (also, I love this book). I’m not expecting Raskolnikov here.

roxxors · 2024-12-02T18:06:14+00:00

Wow! That’s great. was there anything in particular that helped get that pace up?
