    New cats were out of confinement today for a little while today.
    All well thus far.
    Best boy of wary of the other boy a wee bit.
    Will try more tomorrow.

    So so sick of this TSB malarky.
    It made a payment five times the other day instead of once.
    I still have not seen a credit card statment online.
    Still cannot see even the balance online or on the app.
    No cashback yet received for May.
    I just cannot deal with this anymore.
    There just seems to be no end to it at all.
    I am so weary of it all.

    Sounds like a good start! I hope they grow to like each other.

    We don't have cats, but this weekend it almost felt like we did :rotfl: three neighbours' cats spent most of the time here. One stayed on our outdoor sofa for most of today, one tried to get in through our kitchen door, and the third climbed into our living room through an open window. :rotfl:

    Someone had posted in my friend's home town about their missing cat Gary with a picture. My friends pet sitter was commenting on how much his cats were eating. Sure enough on my friends CCTV where he keeps an eye on his cats is Gary looking at the camera. Gary looks like the kind of cat you wouldn't mess with!

    That reminds me of that time years and years ago that I went on holiday in Switzerland with my parents, who took their dog with them. We stayed on this farm in the mountains, and it was quite a hot summer (and the farm was also fairly remote), so we just kept the doors open when we were home. On the second day, I gave the dog her food, and a neighbour's dog just walked straight in through the front door, past my parent's dog and ate all her food :rotfl: Both me and my parent's dog were just standing there, looking completely baffled, but also not brave enough to get between a dog and his food :rotfl:

    I'm okay. Had my bike nicked on Saturday and our next biking expedition is about 3 weeks away so not the best timing (if there is ever a best time to have your bike nicked!) I have a friend who is a copper and one working in the council. They seem to think they will be able to identify the thief but not necessarily retrieve the bike. I have bought a new very good D lock and now need to start looking for a bike!
