That's strange brenda.
I have a card I think at the sorting office to pay £1.50 for probably my brother the younger of the two who seems to have a habit of posting a larger card and only putting the usual 1st class stamp on, he did it for one of my Birthday cards.

I have always enjoyed Christmas griff for the first time this year I haven't made a Christmas cake or put a tree up.
Just too fed up and worn out with all that's gone on and worrying about how hard Christmas day will be this year with Brewster in the equation.
Never felt this way before with any of my other dogs.
I'm hoping it will not be as bad as I fear.

I think that's sensible of your mum to not say anything to aunty and thoughtful .

We got to Ben's yard for coffee and cake.It rained on the drive over but stopped once we got there.
Brewster got some good socialising in but was wary of a man with a walker and two other men I think they were a bit quick with the hand to stroke, one of the other men he was much better with he took things slower.
He loved the ladies and while I was further back chatting to someone he and Gorden met a lady from a village not too far away who has 3 Bernese, they were not with her today.

After being a pain pulling and waiting for the ramp and jumping and grabbing at Gordens coat when he came in the door after parking the car he was good.
No impulse control whatsoever at the moment.

Morning all
Sue, I hope you do manage to get your time off! Likewise you too Lynn, I have never really been fussed about Christmas, I had to spend it with people I didn't particularly like and there were usually arguments caused by my mum's brother and now that's passed to my brother.
Mum doesn't find it hard to tell people at all, she's very calm about it all and if you think about it....she had accepted it last summer when I found out he was having an affair. One of the women messaged me and said " sorry your mum and dad are having a rough time at the moment"....mum made it plain her marriage is over, I just replied and said that I don't have a dad and that mum would be o.k because I would make sure she was. She told her cousin in Ireland last night and asked that she didn't tell her mum (mum's aunty) she is 92 and would be very upset so she won't be told and when mum goes home they will just be told that he couldn't get time off work and that's why he isn't there. I wouldn't be surprised if the boys don't come over and give him a hiding

Another nice morning out with unexpected nice and dry weather

The buggars are not only draining the lake, but have closed it all off the the first and last part of Ted's walk were through the deserted car park. He did get his park walk though so all is well.

Got the baubles for the Christmas tree, now waiting for the hooks to put them on. They should be here on Thursday or Friday

The baubles came with little gold strings, but, try as I might, I can't bloody tie them so hooks ordered

Brenda, forgot to say, I popped your card in the post today....I didn't send one for your menagerie though!
Consultant has emailed me back, apparently my GP should be able to prescribe my drugs as a shared care agreement is for new starters, not veterans lol he said if they can't, pop up on the 23rd and he will leave me the prescription.... then I need to find a chemist with enough supplies or I have none over Christmas...eeek
