    @jdanielp: purr-pose-built

    There's no call for that sort of thing, totally unprovoked. Yellow card. One more like that and you're off.

    Apologies. I will try to remember to restrict that kind of language to the Whatsapp group in the future

    Today I saw a student walking a small cat on a lead at George Square.

    @jdanielp, how do you know the cat wasn’t walking the student?

    @IWRATS neither of them were actually walking at the time. The cat was sat down and watched me intently as I walked past, while the student just stood there watching the cat.

    Played chicken with a black cat with the most incredible green eyes at Blainslie today. It sat in the middle of the road and stared at me as I hurtled down towards it on the trike. The cat won - I had to swerve around it as it stared me out.

    @jdp

    Some kind of Mexican stand-off by the sound of it?

    A guy trying to coax his homing pigeon back to the loft by bowing and making pigeon noises in the street. Thought he was insane at first.

    Have been watching this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000lwqw/this-farming-life-series-4-episode-1

    An entertaining*, interesting and honest look at the lives of a few different farming families. Including some folk trying some fairly unusual things.

    Disclosure: Eagle-eyed/eared viewers will notice that I may have reasons to be slightly biased.

    Second half of this series started tonight, in case anyone's interested: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b094mqlx/this-farming-life

    A sheep at Drum estate standing on two legs to get at the otherwise-out-of-reach leaves it wanted to eat.

    Four legs good, two legs better!

    After six weeks, our foster dog gained the courage to climb the stairs yesterday.

    She's barely stopped since.

    Two non-highlights this morning were dogs running off the lead back and forth across North Meadow Walk with the owners doing the minimum to prevent them from being run over. The highlight was a long-haired black cat which was sat washing itself by the community/wild garden area next to Lonsdale Terrace. Had I been walking instead of cycling, I would have tried to befriend it.

    I have now seen posts on Facebook suggesting that the cat may actually be lost. Hopefully it will sort itself out.
