Well, no Geordiebird today as she’s off galavanting around the UK for the weekend, so I’m on my own. I did think of inviting a listener to come in and co-host the show but the thought of someone having to sit and watch me scratch myself and swear at Maroon 5 seemed a little unfair on the poor soul who ended-up in here.
Spent yesterday working on my newly renovated garden, proving once and for all that I’m on the final approach to the the runway of middle-age. Watered the new grass before that got boring, then bought myself a sprinkler system to make life a little easier. Bought a lovely dining set for out there, too. Dinner parties beneath the stars will be de rigueur at Chéz Cat as soon as the weather permits (I’m sure I say this every year). Also having a pop at growing my own vegetables. Anyone around my age will remember a TV show called The Good Life, where a young couple went back to basics in suburbia. That makes me Richard Briers. Just need a dungareed Felicity Kendall now!
Today’s PHRASE OF THE DAY on the show is VERBAL HANDCUFFS – Verbal Handcuffs are invisible bindings normally placed on you by the most boring person in the office, at the party or at the club.

AND FINALLY… A LOST CAT
Got an email this morning from Claire Flynn about this ginger and white cat she’s found mooching about near the old Hard Rock Cafe. She’s taken him to the vet, who confirmed he has been neutered and he has a very pleasant disposition apparently. Sadly he has no microchip to track down the owners. So, if you’ve lost this little ball of ginger and white cuteness, get in touch ASAP before Claire is forved to put him back out on the streets. Likewise, if you think you could give him a good home, I’d love to hear from you – email catboy@arnonline.com
