Nature Friday

Found growing in our O Regano pot this week.

No one touched it, licked it, ate it and it was gone again a couple of days later.  Well more to the point it was a dried up husk that no one is going to lick.

My office desk bunk has arrived home. I have retired from office work (as of last Thursday). I babysit Mr B now. He suggested I donate the bunk to the cousins downstairs. Some of them camp out in our garage space in the winter time.

I'll think about it. It isn't my favorite bed to sleep in and I have 5 others. Is that excessive?

    Well Tigger, congratulations on your retirement from office work. Although I do wonder if you might find yourself yearning to go back after too much time spent babysitting Mr B and so suggested holding that office desk bunk in reserve just for now.
    Toodle-oo!

      I will still get to go on tour, and weekend outings on Donkey; just not the long boring hours in the office. paw smacks to Nobby Mr T

    It looks like a fancy bedside nightlife.

      There is always the possibility that it glows in the dark all by itself...it has that sort of look about it.

    Flowerpot Parasol, I think is the common name for that fungus and you did good not to bother with it. Congrats on joing we retirees... and the potential to have a bed in every room seems like a good option to me. Though donations to good causes are also excellent. Choices - those types of decisions don't retire... hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

      We hoped you would know what it is. Anyway it is a dry husk now and nobody has been poisoned. Why any animal (I include humans in that) would want to eat fungus is beyond me. Furrings and purrings Mr T

    Cheer up Tigger - you haven’t been thrown on the scrap heap. There’s lots of life left in the old fella yet. You’ll be the talk of the neighbourhood when you return home with the expats. Think of all the tales you’ll be telling the youngsters who cross your path while you are ‘taking the air’ in your Hampshire surroundings. Tell them about your cousins in faraway lands who will be taking turns at reclining on your parting gift.

      If my observations are anything to go by there won't be any turn-taking. it is survival of (and comforts for) the fittest out there.

    so glad you ignored that toad stool, fungus, what ever it is, it is not good for cats and dogs. I have been pulling them up all over our yard to keep a certain dog from eating them and having hallucinations. I am happy you retired and also sad, I will miss your trips to and from the office and all the things you saw and people who petted you.

      Don't worry, F says we are going on tour soon. I'm not sure when soon is, but suspect it will follow a period of disruption that I will be pleased to escape in the end.

    Welcome to retirement.
    Straight jackets to the right. Meds on the left lol
    I think it would be lovely if you donated your office bunk.
    A lasting reminder of you once you’ve gone
