Photo description.

In the photo that shows four cats lying in a line with space in between all of them spread along the end of bed on top of a worn floral bed throw. In light faded turquoise background.

From the left side to the right these are the cats in order. The first is Theodore or Theo for short, nearly all white fur with a tabby brown with black stripes patches over the top of his head and eyebrow and other smudges and small patches, he is small for his age but very long elegant limbs, his nose is pink with a brown smudge around the edge. He is stretched out on his left side with his paws outstretched fast asleep. Theo has fur so soft it feels to soft to be real, it’s like liquid silk made fur, it’s so soft and smooth and he is so gentle and soft and placid as a creature that combining this means sometimes he can be lying on you and you only become alerted when he starts to chirrup softly and you realise he is the velveteen thing you have been absently stroking in your sleep. His coat is like strands of conditioned silk, he feels truly incredible.

The second car directly next to him is a big fluffy ginger cat with light cream ginger stripes, he is a very handsome boy and obviously a bit of a bruiser due to him looking like a groomed alley Tom cat. Merlin is wonderful, if you tell him off for doing something he does a guilty meow, ‘mew mew mew meeeew’ and you know it’s him up to no good, I must film this sometime and make sure the audio is good. He is a wonderful caring grumpy little grumplepuss who I maintain I should have named croockshanks. His fur is fluffy and close to rabbit fur but a little more corse, fluffier and longer, he loves to purr and head hurt you loss and if you aren’t there paying attention he will smack with his tail over and over again until you love him.

Next up third down the line is my stunning pure grey coloured cat named Storm. He has sharp features and is quite slender and long limbed but he is large in size compared to Theo. We think there was some Russian blue in his blood and it shows, he is curled into a ball on his right hand side looking highly contented. His fur is super smooth and sleek with an amazing shine to it, it’s soft and a lighter shade of grey like kitten fur under his chin and the same super soft curly belly hair is like soft wisps of cotton wool . Storm is a very loving cat, he can be very reserved but sometimes gets so silly in his loving ness that he falls over and drools and purrs loudly, he is wonderful and such a sweetie. He has a painful auto immune condition which has caused him to loose near all his teeth even though we researched all over and offer him a diet better then ours, all the animals eat better then us, their food is imported from Germany due to them having higher pet food standards, if anyone wants any info pm me.

And last but not least my beloved baby Red who is a Devon Rex, all the others are rescues and their parental origin is not known beyond a two of their mothers. Red was the most damaged rescue mentally and physically he is was in a terrible state, I will write a P.O.detailed post about all their stories in the future and he is still struggling with his recovery but has come so very far. He spends most of his time on my lap and doesn’t like me even leaving the room without him. But if you spent two years alone in a room with nothing you’d be afraid everyone was about to lock you in too. Red had to wear clothes or be wrapped in blankets most of the time, he has no guard hairs and no ear hairs due to his breed so he gets super cold super fast and it can make him ill fast, he also has bald patches which is normal from r his breed, some Devon’s loose all their hair due to poor diet or other issues. His fur, it is the most wonderful texture, it’s soft and curly and like baby down on a newborns head but denser and shorter, you can run your fingers in circles and fuss under his chin where there is barely hair, he gets itchy under the clothes and loves a good scratch and when you itch his ears from the outside he does a look on his face like you are itching his brain and the whites of his eyes show and it’s very funny indeed and adorable, I’ve never felt hair so soft and premium wool feeling unlike Theo who is silky and so smooth he feels like spun silk.

The other pictures show Merlin lying looking lovingly at Red getting fuss from me and letting Red rearing his head in his paw which Merlin put there intentionally after kissing him.

Another is of Red lying at the end of the bed bundled in his best blanket which is pink, soft and short pile furry, all the cats adore it so I lie it over the end of the bed so they can all cuddle on it. Red looks really happy with just his head popping out from the bundled blanket wrapped round him after I saw he was cold.

The last photo is of Red and Storm lying curled in facing each other tucked into balls looking very content and lying on the pink soft baby blanket with Merlin sitting in between them just in-front of them starring at them to wake up already which they are ignoring in their slumber.

Interesting one here.

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

And just like that Leeds create their best chance of the half!

Sub Eddie Nketiah shows good footwork and composure to bring the ball inside and hit a powerful shot at Keiren Westwood’s near post but the Owls keeper stands up well to it.

72 mins

Post update

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

Sheffield Wednesday have been far more enterprising this half and they’ll be disappointed not to have a goal to show for their efforts.

Victory today would see them leapfrog Leeds to go second.

69 mins

Post update

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

Still no goals here.

The last 0-0 draw between these two sides came in 1969.

I don’t know if that’s tempting fate or just pointing out a fact. We’ll see.

Post update

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

Wonderful, wonderful ball across the face of goal by Wednesday skipper Barry Bannan.

His wicked delivery from the left goes all the way to striker Steven Fletcher at the back post but he can’t connect cleanly with it and sends it back across goal and Leeds clear.

63 mins

Post update

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

Adam Reach tries to catch Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla out by taking his shot early after being played in on goal by Barry Bannan.

It goes well wide but nice invention from the Owls duo.

What have Plymouth got in response after the break?

Post update

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

Brief stoppage here as Joey Pelupessy needs a bit of treatment after being caught in the face by an elbow from Leeds striker Eddie Nketiah.

Was definitely accidental but that’ll be little consolation to Pelupessy.

He’s back on.

Post update

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

Leeds have not got going yet this half.

Can Sheffield Wednesday capitalise on the pressure they’ve created since the break?

Nicky Law (pen, 44 mins)

Deadlock broken in the Devon derby!

KICK-OFF

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

Leeds, and Eddie Nketiah, get us back under way.

The Arsenal loanee has come on up front for Patrick Bamford.

He scored after coming off the bench in the midweek draw at Preston, can he make it two in two?

Posted at 12:2712:27

comments

Paul:The Devon Expressway is the road that links Plymouth and Exeter. Otherwise known as the A38 but that doesn’t sound as good.

Thanks for clearing that up Paul. The A38 derby – yeah, pretty rubbish.

Posted at 12:2412:24

Post update

The good news is, we’ve lost no more fixtures to the weather during that opening half at Hillsborough.

Just a reminder that six have been called off in the EFL so far, including Nottingham Forest against Reading in the Championship.

A foul, foul, day out there though as the players begin to arrive at the grounds.

Post update

Exeter 0-0 Plymouth

Typical derby so far, no real chances or flow to the game.

Still goalless at a soggy St James Park.

Posted at 12:1812:18

HALF-TIME

Sheff Wed 0-0 Leeds

After a very quiet opening 44 minutes the game sprang to life in that last 90 seconds or so.

First Leeds keeper Kiko Casilla showed excellent athleticism to tip a powerful Steven Fletcher shot over the crossbar.

Down the other end Leeds nearly took the lead but Keiren Westwood matched this Leeds counterpart with a wonderful stop to deny Patrick Bamford’s header.

Hopefully the second half continues how this one ended!

Excellent save from Leeds keeper Kiko Casilla from a fierce strike by Steven Fletcher from 20 yards out.

Great stop by the Spaniard!
