Or anything other than politics/potential party leaders/how we're all going to hell in a handcart/everything is going to be so much better etc.

I like kittens, Regina blitz is a really good kitchen roll, might seem expensive at first glance but is actually good value, my neighbours have a kayak, but their eldest son is rather plump and has trouble fitting in the damn thing, perhaps he should eat only kiwi fruit for a week.

Sick, sick sick of politics , listen to Radio 4, read Daily Telegraph, would like more non political threads on GN!

You can still buy Kola Kubes even on Amazon.

We are thinking of a holiday in Kos next year, never been.

I saw a Kestrel in the fields yesterday, beautiful.

Hubby lost the sodding Keys yesterday I could have Killed him. grin

Gaga, bet it was KEW and KEG. Mumoftwoboys, I love(d) the Lleyn Peninsula. Went when the girls were young. Lovely views across to Bardsey, though we just admired it from the end of Lleyn. We stayed somewhere close to Analog, forget where.
Ballet, buttercups, babies, books, birds, bright days ?

Bless you and thank you Phoenix!
Roses, rhubarb, rabbits....anything other than you know what!
Slugs galore here, I've given up trying to control them.

We're trying to keep the bird feeders filled - for the first time ever we have two Jays feeding on the peanuts as well as the Spotted Woodpeckers, nuthatches, umpteen members of the tit families, starlings, green and gol- finches.
It's bedlam out there!

I don't know if you still kuddle a koala at Kairns Tropical Zoo but you could at one time.

There are lots of kangaroos basking on the golf courses up there!

Kippers for breakfast would make a nice change

Anyone watched The Klangers lately? (Sorry , Clangers)

Apologies for typos, getting karried away
Happy birthday Jayh cupcake

How nice to have some kalm after the kraziness out there grin

kittylester Thu 30-Jun-16 09:47:49

Our last kat had 4 kittens. We kept one and kalled him Kiwi, not because he's green but because he is all black!!

hildajenniJ Thu 30-Jun-16 09:44:53

Kola kubes, does anyone remember those? Here's a random thing that happened this morning. I went into my kitchen, sat a the table today my breakfast, and spotted a huge slug sliding round the top of my bin. Last night DH left his shoes in the conservatory. This morning when he went to put them on he found several slugs on them. He removed them, threw them over the wall and was just about to put his shoes on when he spotted one in his shoe. He tipped it out, into the bin. It made its break for freedom just as I was having my breakfast. Yuck.

Happy birthday Jayh, flowers

As it doesn't have to begin with K, I would like to sing the praises of Geranium Rozanne. It will be flowering until the first frosts. All the border Geraniums seem to be doing well this year, they must like the weather.

Jayh Thu 30-Jun-16 09:41:06

Bookends, babies, bunnies,begonias,bath mats,best of three,balloons, Boomtown Rats, baboons,bazookas! It's my birthday today!
That kalls for kake...........???

Kerplunk! One of GS's favourite games when he was younger. We are thinking about getting him some kayaking lessons when we go to West Wales in August. I have only done it once, in a double kayak on the Colchester estuary and for some reason we ran out of water and had to drag the bally thing up onto the bank! We were, well and truly, up the creek without anywhere to paddle!

Indinana Thu 30-Jun-16 09:18:40

My DD's name begins with K.
Love fluffy Kittens, but not Keen on Kats.
Koalas are very Kute - I've never seen one up Klose.
When I have a Kiwi fruit, I Kut off the top and eat it with a teaspoon, like a boiled egg smile
Never tried Kayaking, and probably not likely to now!
Love Knitting, but haven't done any for a while because of Karpal tunnel syndrome. Very frustrating as I have masses of wool!
I'm not writing this on my Kindle, as it's not a tablet, just an e-reader. I have an iPad instead.
Kerfuffle - now there's a good K word!

aggie Thu 30-Jun-16 09:02:34

Grey knickers out on the line , along with cuddly slippers and I am writing this on .my Kindle

chelseababy Thu 30-Jun-16 08:56:09

One of my middle names begins with K. Well it doesn't really but I spell it with a K because otherwise my middle initials would be WC! Not that it matters now but in my teens it did.

Teetime Thu 30-Jun-16 08:55:56

Thank Heaven for you Phoenix I agree with all you have said as to Ks mmmm
Don't care for Special K but the cereal bar is Ok for a stop gap.
My Kindle Fire is wonderful and full of lovely books I am yet to read.
Koalas are lovely and I would love to cuddle one but I hear you aren't supposed to.
I know a nice lady called Kupperblatt in my on line book club.
Kittens pretty but no not for me- allergic to felines.
Karma - what will be will be.

Gagagran Thu 30-Jun-16 08:49:14

My name begins with a "K" and my initials spell the name of a famous garden. Also my previous initials , prior to marriage spelt the name of a receptacle for beer.

NanaandGrampy Thu 30-Jun-16 08:34:09

Grey sky, grey day and grey knickers !!

Oh how I remember the days when the slightest hint of grey would get those knickers thrown out. Now I simply don't see the need to throw out perfectly good ones even if they are grey . So its a whizz round in that Oxiwhite stuff for some return to glorious whiteness !!

Thank you for the thread about absolutely nothing - cheered me up no end( although still depressed about the knickers !!)

Coolgran65 Thu 30-Jun-16 08:09:37

Bought 4 ready to eat kiwi fruit in Asda and waited 10 days for them to ripen. !!
Went right to the top and complained to the area manager, my ds.

Kindle is kept klose by and answers many kwestions daily.

Stansgran Thu 30-Jun-16 07:43:12

Very kool thread. There's a kangaroo hopping across the lawn. Very small one? Ah a bunny. Run out of ks.

downtoearth Thu 30-Jun-16 06:24:50

Kakariki.....we do have a kakariki parrot who is a native kiwi,we don't have a kitten but have a new retired greyhound as a new pet she can run kwickly

ninathenana Thu 30-Jun-16 00:23:46

We get through so much flippin' kitchen roll in this house. I need a spy camera in the kitchen to see what they do with it all.
I love grey kittens, grey horses too. I especially love dolphins which happen to be grey. Some people would be surprised to know that they can be aggressive. I knew koalas could be.
I'm glad to see nobody has used the 'b' word in relation to the koala.

mumofmadboys Thu 30-Jun-16 00:17:57

No, definitely not Lillie!! Did that as a teenager and hated it then!!

Lillie Thu 30-Jun-16 00:16:06

Talking of kitchen roll, have you done a kayak roll yet mumofmadboys?

Swiss roll, sausage roll, arctic roll, bread roll.
