F1 and all that!

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

In the ferret cages Old Two Legs has found that instead of using cat litter or stuff like that, he has found that paper kitchen sheets work just as well and are easier to scoop up all the poo. That is providing Eric doesn't scruff it all up and then does a poo half way up the cage wall.

Sometimes I think he does it on purpose just to wind OTL up!

Anyway, in his search for economically priced paper towels he ended up getting 48 towels from Amazon which he thought of as a good price.

That was until this morning.

The Tesco man delivered the shopping this weekend and looking at the roll of paper towel, it looked bigger in diameter that the ones OTL buys, same manufacturer, same packaging, except.

OTL pack says there is 210 sheets in the pack whereas the Tesco says there is 100 sheets in theirs.

Well, out comes the calculator and OTL works out that the Amazon sheet is priced at 0.0297 each and the Tesco pack is priced at 0.0137 per sheet, and that is without the 'Clubcard' special price!

That is just over double the price of Tesco!

I think I know what OTL is going to do the next time he is going to get some kitchen towels for the ferret cage!

Just for a change, the sun has come out and the wind has dropped. In fact, it was most enjoyable wandering over the fields and sniffing around the bee hives that have appeared this year. 

Being a Sunday, OTL has been out clearing the weeds out of the brick drive and sweeping up all the moss that has been washed down from the roof. 

He has even pulled the ivy off the wall in the back garden, actually, it is next doors ivy that is holding up the fence rather than the fence holding up the ivy but it's been like that for thirty years!

There is some ivy left on the wall and I reckon he will finish that off tomorrow.

The F1 racing was just a little boring, why? Well, what is the point of having a race that is decided in 'Qualifying' because there is little or no chance of overtaking on the track, so, you are hoping for a 'Red Flag' or to get in and out of a pit stop quicker than the car in front of you can get around the track before you can get out of the pits.

Seems you win or lose outside the race!

Monza next week and with a bit of luck it will have some racing and overtaking!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

 

Saturday F1!

 Hello Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

This morning Old Two Legs had an enormous lie-in! You know it wasn't until eight that he finally rolled out of bed!

The Missus was up at her normal 'silly hour', I got up later and had about an hour’s walk around the fields and even gave OTL a lick on his bald head to wake him up but when we came back, he was still asleep!

The ferrets were upset that they had to spend so much time locked up in their cage. When they were finally allowed out, they had a rampage around the house and Eric even came up into OTL's office, until I growled at him and OTL had to pick him up quickly!

I was then banned to the bedroom while OTL cleaned the cage!

Well, at least Eric couldn't get up on the bed 'cos the door was shut!

The F1 program started late morning and OTL and I headed off to the sea side for a walk while the commentators spent an hour or so interviewing each other!

On our way around the sea wall OTL noticed that the blackberries had started to ripen, I can see TM coming with us just to get a fresh blackberry!

The first sign that autumn has arrived!

 I spotted some woofers in the distance but as they were heading away from us, I decided to leave them alone!

 To Woof or not to Woof, that is the question!

Of course, the tide was out, as normal, in fact it looked rather muddy, so it was a good thing we didn't go down onto the beach for a paddle.

 So, we didn't go for a paddle and the wind was blowing. Do you think that the Medway was ever a small stream?

 Heading back to the car the clouds looked like they were ready to let loose the rain! I expect that will come over night or even tomorrow morning!

Windy and wet!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
