Floofy cat is sleepy

Was rocking this yesterday. Might put it on again if I can get out of bed.

Need a shorter strap. Obviously!

Ha. Yes a little recruitment consultant.
Make it properly WR and I would seriously rock that beautician sales executive Fischer Price.
(While doggy paddling at the local lido).

38mm... it's the perfect size for a wristwatch. Unless you are build like Arnold/Dywane/etc

(I have tiny wrists!)

Have to say I did quite like their new 38mm offerings, particularly the cream and blue one. If I had a spare 5k (any they were more than 30 metre WR!!!!) I would be very tempted

Because they realised that most that can afford their watches have no taste and they can make loadsa monies from targeting them. As you said most of their buyers only buy them because they know it can be recognised from 100 yards.

…..quickly runs away to hide…..to play with my Seikos….

Queue!!!

Watching Harry Potter, so there are two parts on the same day. Was planing on getting some nosh between the two. We have about 1.5 hours from 5-6:30. Think we'll play it by ear. Seems like a win-win with the choices (provided we do get to eat!).

Going to the Palace Theatre tomorrow. Mildreds or Coach & Horses for dinner? Just looked at the menus. Already hungry!

10 points to @Aroogah !!!!

Amazing breed though we'll definitely get rescue kitties next time round.

@edmundro
Really love how the cat has been incorporated into that tat. That’s very well done. Expression is awesome.

@ExTra
Not sure how you stop other cats crapping in your garden, though I do understand that cats generally don’t shit in their own, though this is certainly not a hard rule. Have caught Freya (below) doing one in our(her) back garden.

Apart from my wife, no we know is vegan!

One of our friends is vegetarian, the wife of our brother-in-law's brother is vegetarian, and we both have vegetarian Hindu work colleagues.

(Our background cultures are both meat-centric. Work in banking and IT. Live in SW London)

We use Baby Chick Crumb (stuff they feed to baby chicks!). Person we got the cats from swore by it and it seems to do the job well - google it. Clumps well. Can be flushed down loo.

Two cat, which mostly go indoors during the winter, to mostly outdoor during the summer. I think we average cleaning the tray and replacing the litter errrrr..... once a year(!). Maybe we're doing it wrong!

Ohhhh. Rather like the auto. Tidy dial for a slide rule watch. Only thing is that I've committed myself to is sub 40mm watches (partly to help curb my enthusiasm and partly as I have tiny wrists!). Belive Breitling did a small one ages ago. Undoubtedly too pricey for me.

Holding out for the fashion for massive watches to die.

That's a little too busy for me. Did consider a Citizen BJ7000 or 7010. Not so many functions but for a while I wanted a slide rule in my life!

Love protrek. Have had a PRW-1300YJ-1JF for over 11 years now! Great watch and very very sturdy. Have treated it like crap and it’s still going strong. It’s my go to beater. If g-shock are meant to be sturdier then they must be built for armageddon!

Have used compass for hiking (backup to proper compass), orienting in new cities, buying new house (which direction is garden facing). Used altimeter when hiking and skiing (interesting to know how high you are and nice to see little graph change as you move along). Never used barometer. Thermometer is useful if you have the watch lying around (as otherwise it just tells you the temp of your wrist). This watch sits on my night stand, as occasionally like to check temp before bed or when I wake up.

The multiband time check with atomic clock is an excellent feature. Updates every evening. This watch is used to regulate all my other watches.

Also solar.

Have been thinking about reducing my collection. This one was at the top of the keeper list because of all of the above.

Only issue for me is that the newer Protreks are pretty big. Waiting for Casio to come out with a ‘small’ version and I may look to replace.

Funny you mention the AHW one. I have been lusting over that for ages and also have been seriously considering one with the NE15/6R15 movement. However no way I could pay that sort of price, especially considering import charges and postage. As such been looking into 62mas dials too. Saw this before xmas. Regret not snapping them up.

While looking around for more dials, I found the watch on eBay (won on auction, from the Philippines!). Price inc postage inc import charges came in under 150gbp. Well chuffed. It looks exactly like the AHW one, though the crystal has a cyclops lens, which is a little unusual. Also, it is in used condition(9/10).

Here are a couple of pics from the listing. As far as I can see there is no chapter ring. It’s difficult to get a picture of this space but it looks like the dial just comes right up to the edge of the case. If you can get a dial it would make a nice project. As some point I might try to replace the movement with a 6R15…

Also, she just probably being a jerk.

I have read that a change in litter can have the opposite effect, ie the cat is used to one type and doesn't like the change. I would stick with this new litter as Patch is using it and don't want to disrupt things.

Sounds like Patch is going outside and in, which I would say is normal. Ours almost always go in the tray indoors but have caught them doing it in the garden!!

It doesn't sound like there is anything to worry about. Main thing is that she going!

Thanks :-)
Photo doesn't do it justice. Much shininess, and the 38mm x 13mm size gives it a nice stout presence.
First automatic!

This arrived today. Well pleased.

How about using your phone to track journey while it is connected to a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. While it may be seen as a little odd to wear a HRM for a 30min walk (and potentially left on all day), IMO it's not half as odd as wearing two watches.

Also, I reckon once you've done this for a few days and seen that your HR pattern is the same each day, you would lose interest in monitoring HR so carefully (unless you have a funky HR!) Could use the HRM for other activities too.

Yeah, watched them all. Excellent vids.

Get a decent mat. Previously used an inflatable one from Thermarest (Neoair Trekker) which was like lying down on a heater!
Though my conditions were a little warmer!
