We use the latter one up here in the shadow of the ice shelf. Idioms are tricky across languages, though. You guys seem eager to buy a pig in a poke. In Norway we buy cats instead.

Never bought a cat. There is a never ending supply of free ones, since people avoid spaying and neutering.

"Free to buy" - but not free to own (many years, and £k's, of experience)

.

That is, if it can ever be said to that you "own" a cat - they think they own YOU, and they do

I'm guessing the RN is catching up on his chores, like goat milking, hay baling, cleaning out the chicken coop, etc etc.
