Sorry I missed you hope you n Amber have a great day
Take care stay safe

Morning all.

Nice sunny day here but still cold.
Take care everyone.

Good morning all.

A night on the sofa for me last night as Rosie had an hour's pacing last night . She managed to grab a couple of chips off the floor at Mcdonalds so I half expected it. With the kids off, the ground was carpeted with them and by the time I realised, she had grabbed and eaten a couple. I'm going to have to start carrying her in and out of there when we go.

Got up to a snow shower this morning, medium sized flakes, but, thankfully, it was only playing at it so it hasn't stuck. The ground is wet, but now the sun is starting to come out - such strange weather.

We were going to go early today, but I think we'll brave the crowd and wait until the sun has (hopefully) settled in the sky and things have dried up a little.

Have a good 'un all whatever you are up to and watch out for the traffic on those busy bank holiday roads xx

Morning Jenny lets hope Rucksack keeps the amorousness to himself.
You might find the eggs a bit cheaper today as the shops will be shut tomorrow and Monday.
Enjoy your walk today if its anything like here it is sunny and pleasant.

Morning Helena hope you manage that restful day today.
We are only papering the bottom half of the walls under the dado rail. Gorden did the long drop yesterday up the stairs with emulsion.


Morning Bev. Snowing
Glad to hear Charly and Ash arrived safely enjoy your restful day and hope the cold goes soon.

Morning Malka. Oh dear up at 4 this morning.
At least you got back to bed for a while.
I am sick and tired o decorating now.

Morning Jackie enjoy your day whatever you get up to.

Morning mini good luck with that decorating. It is tiring isn't it.

Morning LL.

Morning Norma. Enjoy your run with dogs. Or is that watching the dogs run.

Morning Pat. Glad they arrived safely. You are going to have a lovely time together enjoy.
How is Martin after the traveling ?


Morning weather about the same here too.

Morning Chris. I hop Rosie settles today hopefully she will if it was only a couple of chips.
I hope that snow decides to move on for you.

Dillon makes a lovely lap top table.

My friend text me and she won't be here 'til 10.30 for our walk so thought I'd have a quick catch up on here.

Helena - I really hope your 'chill-out-weekend' materialises and good luck with the Wicks delivery.

Bev - SNOW I hope that doesn't reappear again. You and Lily are really going to have to wrap up for tomorrow - you poor things but as you say, its for a really good cause.

Malka - You sound more chipper this morning that I've heard you in a while - I think we are getting the 'old' Malka back again ...... I don't mean old in years!!

Jackbox - I hope the painting goes well and enjoy your weekend.

Moyra - Morning Enjoy your day, keep warm and have good walk with Amber.

Mini - Good luck with your glass painting - I hate gloss paint but as you say your're on the home run now.

Norma - The Plantation sounds very exotic Enjoy your walks and keep warm.

Pat - Your excitement comes over in your post Enjoy your time with your family and how sweet that little Bella is in love .... with a skunk

Nippy - Hi Enjoy your day and keep warm.

Chris - I hope Rosie has no further ill-effects from the chips I've threatened my two that if they keep hoovering up everything they find they'll have to wear muzzles. Enjoy yourself and keep warm.

I can't believe how many people are decorating at the moment. We could start a lucrative business called the Dogsey Deocrators

I've been out to the shops - not a nice experience as too many horrible people around My car told me that it was only 2 degrees out there - about 18 degress down on what it was this time last year!!

Enjoy your day and keep warm

Thank you for the good wishes for Rosie, but she is right as ninepence today. It seems to be fat that's the trigger. She can eat potato without problem, but, of course, chips are fried. We've also noticed that even the smallest amount of fried bacon gives her horrific wind, whereas she can have boiled ham without a problem.

Slowly, but surely we are finding out her 'triggers'. I can stop her picking things up with a 'leave' command when I see things first, but it's easy to get distracted (especially when Gary is with us) and then she's hoovered up a couple of things before I catch her (as with the chips yesterday).

We usually stop for a coffee at Mcd's even when we're not eating there, but from now on I'll carry her in and out. Good job I did today and there were more chips on the floor than in the kids who were supposed to be eating them. Nice and quiet is out for the next week until the little darlings go back to school - scream, scream, scream is all we've heard today. I really don't get it - when mine were little they had to sit and eat their meals and then not bother other people while we were in (or outside) cafes. Parks and play areas are for letting off steam, cafes for eating.

Mmmm, me thinks I'm getting to be a crotchety old grump

Hi Chris, I'm the same as you with young children now. Obviously some parents are still excellent and make their kids sit and behave when eating but there will always be those parents that really can't be bothered what their children are up to. I too made mine sit quietly and have good table manners - and yes I too am getting less tolerant as I get older

I had a lovely walk with my friend Polly and the dogs enjoyed it too No sun today and we had snow flurries earlier but they have fortunatey stopped now. Rucksack is still feeling very horny and pacing and crying a lot. He took a liking to my sons duvet this morning so that room is now out of bounds He's even walking a bit like John Wayne as I think the return of his testicles is just so alien to him He likes nothing more at the moment than sit on my lap for a cuddle - I think this testosterone surge is just too much for him.

Lovely and sunny here, but still a cold wind. Got Cariad and Keshi out onto the land by the river and they had a good run about, then we went onto a bit where you can go down onto the river and Keshi went for a paddle, but wasn't really that impressed with it all, so she came out quickly, Cariad likes to paddle but won't swim. I got the cheese out when Keshi was a good distance away when we were walking back to the car, and my goodness she can hear the bag rustle a mile away, head turned, ears up and she came running up and sat in front of me without me even having to call her, so she got some cheese, got Cariad to do a sit, down and stand and she got some cheese, leads on and back into the car and home. Took Lona and Mabs onto the towpath, and unlike yesterday it was deserted until near the end when I saw a guy with a pointer, and he put him onlead when he saw me, I knew Mabs would be OK, put Lona onlead because she is protective of Mabs sometimes, had a nice chat with him, like everyone else he wanted to know what my dogs actually were it made a change to meet a normal person after the last few days and he agreed
Just having a bacon and egg sandwich then out to get some pet mince for the girls.
You have motored on that house of yours Lynn, how quick is this I think it would take me months to get where you have got in a week, housing market usually picks up around Easter so fingers crossed for you to get a quick sale.
Sorry to hear Rosie has been poorly again, but you know what it is now and what to expect if she has anything fried by the sound of it, could be worse, you could be still trying to find out what it is.
Hope everyone's having a nice day without too much stress, but then again isn't Helena supervising a Wickes delivery, that is absolutely bound to go pear shaped

Well I certainly havn't had my restful day. My dad has had another fall while out with mum and an ambulance had to be called. I have just got back from the hospital. He is a right mess.
Because he is on blood thinners and his skin is like tissue paper it has ripped right open on both hands and round his wrist, he also has a big gash to his head and a massive black eye where he cracked his head on the pavement. His jacket doesn't have a spare inch that is not soaked in blood and my poor mum was really shaken up again.

Two nurses were trying to put steristrips on to stop the bleeding (his skin is too thin too stitch) but couldn't get them to stick because it was bleeding too much so someone else came and done them and bandaged him quick and then discharged him .

My brother-in-law has been and picked him up and taken them home, but I am surprised after that bang on the head and the amount of blood he lost he was sent straight home, but perhaps thats what they do now.

Blimey Bev your poor Dad. It's a bad week for falls on here. Hope he is going to be ok.
