I'm 'Scraping the Bowl' again!

.

I know, it‘s been a week since I last posted

but there hasn’t been a lot of activity in this household, of late.

Every day, drab, dreary and usually damp, if not a darn site wet!

I’ve stayed in,

Hazel has stayed in;

Even Wesley has stayed in, which is usually unheard of.

Subjects for blogs are for me, at this time of the year,

not easy to come by, and today,

I have to admit that I am indeed ’scraping the bowl’.

(or should that be 'the barrel'?)

Talking of ‘bowls’, did any of you see this?

I found it on YouTube amongst quite a few vids.

A ‘Cat Toilet’ - or to be more precise,

a trained pussy using a full size toilet.

It appears you start off with a (special) litter-tray at the base of the loo,

then, after a few days you put the tray on top of the toilet.

Now if, and when, kitty gets used to this, a circular piece is removed from the centre.

This leaves a nice little hole to the water below,

and assuming your cat has a good aim, hey presto!

But if not, all is not lost,

you simply take out the next ring making the hole a little larger.

This process continues until all the rings containing litter have been removed and the cat perches on the seat - and - well you know!

I suggested this to Hazel but she seems totally unwilling to jump up eighteen inches to do what she can quite easily do at ground floor level.

Wesley gave me two fingers and said he much preferred showing off to all the lady cats,

down by the compost heap!

I don’t think dogs are quite as clever as cats,

and most could not be persuaded to try this out.

Just look at this chap! He has no idea what a pussy is really for.

And now, something for all you incontinent gardeners.

There you are, right down the bottom of the patch,

hoeing away and along comes a ‘call of nature‘.

Now, there is no need to remove muddy boots and wash grubby mitts.

Why not stay where you are and use the ‘Guldkannen‘.

"A Wee Potty"

It's a handy toilet cum watering can from the Swedish manufacturer, Guldkannan

(those Swede's have always had less inhibitions).

The top has been designed to make it comfortable to sit on

and after you have finished, you can water it over the garden.

Do take a peep at this link,

as there you can see a video of this ingenious container in use on the back lawn!

Click on "In the Wild". (all very decent I promise).

And if you take a toilet roll out into the garden,

make sure there are no Alpaca about.

It seems they like to swallow these juicy morsels whole!

ps Up at the start, I used the word 'darn site'.

I am not sure if this is correct?

Is it 'darn sight'? or

or perhaps 'damn sight',

or even 'damn site'?

'Darn' is a shortened form of 'darnation' which in turn is,

a colloquial form of 'damnation'.

Interesting, isn't it?
