Fatigued Feline
There is activity around breakfast, say from 0700 to 0900 followed by a short nap until about 1600. Then there is the evening meal followed by gentle duties (e.g. sitting around and napping) until about 2200 when it is time for overnight snoozes.
Note, in the recent heat, he has, unfortunately, had to curtail his frenetic lifestyle and substitute extra sleeping time. Here he is on the landing at fbb mansions fitting in some extra naps between 0700 and 0900.

Ker-ching! Mega loan refused.
So, after much delay, the fast ferry plan is cancelled. Apparently, “the time is not right for such a venture”- which being interpreted means “we ain’t got the money“.
And, as if to tweak the H & W nose, The Scillonian’s owners have announced a grand new Scillonian (No 4).
Remember Lego?
Then along came Technic Lego, Space Lego and even Pneumatic Lego; but still it was bricks and cog wheels plus stimulating ideas.
Not so for big boys toys.
Now you buy a once-and-for-all kit and make it up. When complete you, well, erm, look at it! Then you might go out an buy another bigger one to build and look at.
Here is an example …
Note the price: £219! Does it have any traditional gnobbly bricks?
