Morning

I'm having a rare shopping trip today, going to a large Mall near me - because i have so little time i usually shop online but today ..... in person :D
John Lewis here i come :D

 

Good morning everyone,been up since the early hours due to sleep problems and now feel like a zombie so will have to have an early night tonight to catch up on it.:D

Looks like it is going to be a nice day today albeit a bit cold so wrap up everyone if you go out today:D

 

Good Morning Friends,

Shiney sounds as though you are going to be going all out today to get everything done. I hope it proves very successful.

Kandy, it was very cold first thing. I sorted all my thermals out yesterday and this morning I actually made sure I had a vest and my long Janes on before taking Amber for her early morning walk. I felt snug as a bug. They say it is going to turn even colder by Tuesday. I think I am prepared for it.

It's a beautiful morning out there. I have just put a line of washing out. My son Steve went fishing early this morning so I hope he is enjoying himself.

Have a lovely day everyone.

 

Morning Shiney, morning everyone

 

Good morning everyone,

Sounds like everyone is busy at the moment and glad that all is well with you all

Moyra,we have discovered a new vets round our way where you don't need to book an appointment,you just turn up so we went on Saturday with our cats and although we had to wait an hour due to there being lots of people in there,got a check up done plus their boosters done for £40 and the nice Aussie vet said that both our cats are in perfect health with fantastic teeth for their age so he doesn't want to see us for at least twelve monthsIt just goes to show though how much profit some of these rip off vets are making from us all

I am off to the lottie this morning and need to get some weeding done and the garlic and winter broad beans sown before we get this bad weather that is coming later on this week

Have a good day everyone

 

Morning Everyone,

Shiney so glad it all went well yesterday and congratulations on the final outcome too. You did well. I hope you can get a couple of hours sleep now too.

I have just had a phone call from the hospital, can I go for my ultrasound scan of my kidneys tomorrow morning at 8.40 am, do not eat for at least 6 hours beforehand. Nice to have lots of notice!

Have a good day everyone.

 

Good morning everyone,

Its another cool, rainy day here, supposed to stop later for a bit, so perhaps I'll rake some leaves.

Off to Toronto shortly, so have a great day everybody.

 

I didn't tell you all that I nearly got myself into real trouble yesterday. I decided to take Amber up the road in the car to the local lakes and give her a walk round. It is a lovely park and it was crowded with children and lots of people with their dogs on leads. As I started to walk around the first lake there is a big area of grass off to the side where the children kick their balls around, excuse the expression!:WINK1: There was a nasty looking chap walking across this grass area and he had a dog with him not on a lead. It was one of those Staffie or Bull terrier type dogs. I saw it run off and download a pile in the middle of the green, the chap didn't bother to clean up after it even though it was a play area. Then his dog saw Amber and came pelting towards her I had her on an extendable lead so I pulled it in quick and grabbed her by the collar and pulled her into me. I told the dog to go away and then the chap came up and said the dog was ok. I said she is not she should be on a lead and under control as required by the byelaws of the park. He said do you know the law as regards to dogs and I said yes. They should be under your control all the time. He said she is. So I said that is why you allowed her to dump in the middle of the green over there where children play and didn't pick up after her. His reply as he walked away to catch up with his dog now some distance away was Oh F--k you. Why when people know they are in the wrong do they always give that answer. I did complete the lap of the two lakes with difficulty but I didn't feel very safe there after that encounter. Shall take her to another park next time. But they are all the same so many young chaps with these bull terrier dog types that they have as weapons and you just don't feel safe walking your own dogs around them.:( They have ruined it for the staffie breed which generally are lovely dogs if trained right.
