And then, when there is no café at all... Caffe Niente ?


Sometimes you're better not having that cup.

The first one is highly redolent of a board game! Have you been to Rome?

The foot reminds me of Leiter's one of a foot on the opposite seat of a train, bus or whatever it was. My baseball cap bears the words Footjoy, which is actually, and innocently, something to do with golf supplies. I dread fetishists speaking to me about it.

I think I must begin to try out some rear takes too; far less stressful, I'd imagine, but even more intrusive? Not that I'm objecting, of course, as I'm now interested in seeing where it leads me. My problem will be memory: will I remember to do it? Think Cleese, Rob!

;-)

No, somehow I've avoided going to Rome, other than the airport. Must do.

I confess I didn't notice the foot until I looked on the monitor... and then later I saw the Leiter pic and now, of course, I see it as the foot photo :)
Or the foot photo bis, since there is also this one:

Nice shot, but the very thing I used to dread about Scottish winters: ice. I have good reason for that.

LOL. Juan is more likely to cover you in fur than scratch you, that's for sure.

That's what I was going to say, but then thought better of it since anything goes (without criticism) in the Without Prejudice thread.  ;D

True; however, we once found ourselves responsible for over twenty-three cats - each with its own name and instantly identifiable to us - after a female abandoned two female kittens beside out property. Cats are absolutely independent animals. They allow or do not allow you to befriend them as they see fit. They will use their claws to great effect whenever they feel you have strayed beyond their allowed friendship lines.  One, which we had to bring into the house and bottle-feed as a tiny beast because she was very weak, grew to be small, but as fierce as hell. She would only go out at night on her own terms: picking her up to eject her from the room was an act of bravery.

I am certain there must be a future for cats in advanced, covert warfare.

It's rumoured here that goat and sheep owners used to set off illegal fires on the mountains in order to burn bushes so that the next season they'd provide fresh greenery for said animals to enjoy. Similar fires were supposedly started on desirable sites in the mountains (especially by the coast!) by landowners hoping to be able to get building permission for villa development. A preferred choice of starting these conflagrations was via the wild hare, who would be snared, have a fuel-soaked rag tied behind it, ignited, and thus create a trail of burning leaves wherever the poor bugger ran. Maybe the hare would still get away, but that was optional, I guess.
