Cyberstrology Year Of The Cat 2019

Year of the Cat

Personality of The Cat

Cats are gods.  They are very aloof and demand worship.  They expect feeding at regular intervals in a posh bowl (not the cheap plastic ones).  They expect to sleep on your double mattress (in the middle) while you teeter on the very edge.  Occasionally they will allow you to play with their stringy feather toys but only until you become annoying at which point they'll chew your fingers off and place claw holes in the most painful place they can find.  If you do well at worshipping them, they will allow you to scratch them either juuuuusssst behind the ear or the side of their face or under the chin.   Maybe.
If you do REALLY well, you'll get the Head Bonk.

Sullivan found this one above in Normandy!

Well, some of my drain cover pictures have gone missing but I'm still trying to find them on Google Images.  Meanwhile, Hammie found three more in Brittany for me!!! (Above and next two)

And then found these three in Lauwersoog Holland!  (above and next two!)

 The ones above and below were found in Bremen, Germany by my friend Hammie!!  The one below, if you put a coin through the slot in the middle it plays songs for you!!!!  Isn't that great!!!

My friend Emily in Australia emailed me this photo of a drain cover in Wellington, New Zealand!!!  Isn't it brilliant!!!  I'm going to add this in to my collection...!!

 We found this drain cover in Lille, France, in March 2013!!

 I found these ones in Brussels in February 2012!  This shell isn't really a drain cover but it's still rather pretty!!  So far, all these are European except for one.

That's the last Brussels drain (above)!!!

Hammie went on holiday a while ago and sent me this picture of a drain cover he found!!

These are French!

Hammie sent me two more pictures today - he found more drain covers on his camera!!  This one is from Amien in France...

And this one is also from Amien in France!!!

Last week, Andrea got out some old photographs from a trip she took to Barcelona.  She went there before she met me, which is why I didn't go.  But she showed me a picture of a Spanish drain cover she found there!  It has lots of little pictures all over it!!!

She also showed me this picture in Barcelona.  She found this on the pavement/sidewalk but she's not sure if it's a drain cover or not.

My friend Hammie went on vacation in the Brittany area of France (August 2011).  Because he knows that I like looking at drain covers, he took lots of pictures of different French ones and said I could post them here!

This one looks like a telephone cover!!

A circle inside a rectangle!  We don't get those in England!

This one was recently found in Prague, Czech Republic by my friend Sullivan McPig (he has his own blog too, listed on right).  He took a photo of it specially for this collection!

I found this one (above) in Groningen, Holland back in February 2011 and has the Martini Tower on it!

These ones are from Groningen, too!
