An hour later and two dozen eggs lighter I had booked 5 interviews for next week, agreed two more in the pipeline and had arranged for a request for more volunteers to be read out at the next "friendship group meeting" at the memorial Hall.
All I need now is batteries for a little tape recorder, a blank pad of paper and a lot of patience!
The rest of the morning I have been on catch up. Chris has looked after the animals very well, and all of them were present, healthy and accounted for on muster this morning.
These are the trials and tribulations of an allotment holder!
Mind you I haven't killed myself with hard work today!
Couldn't quite resist a lie down with a bulldog "pillow"

The dog has the most adorably gorgeous kissable face!
ReplyDeleteAwww...love that last photo, John.
ReplyDeletewhat about MY FACE!!!???
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of you and Constance!
ReplyDeleteI left the 2:01pm comment, have no idea why it says Anonymous!

John - I think that's a great idea of yours to interview all the oldies. should be some good stories in there! Love your Constance cushion!
ReplyDeleteYour latest project sounds very interesting indeed. I look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat buddies those two!!!
What a comfy pillow you found. Can't wait to read about the oldies interviews.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely sound more refreshed, that trip did wonders!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of your talking with the oldies and getting their take on the past - and maybe the present.
You and Constance look quite content!
Bravo to Chris, not to have lost any of the birds!
Aw, its lovely to be close friends with one's animals.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures with you and your dog. :D
ReplyDeleteI miss having an animal around. Besides my husband that is. He won't have a pet in the house, because in his previous marriage, his wife went crazy with the procurement of animals. Take what you have animal-wise OUTdoors John....and picture it in a tiny mobile home. I don't blame him really. On not having animals AND getting himself a new wife.
Do you know, before I moved here to the North Carolina countryside, I had never heard the crow of a rooster. I thought they only did that in cartoons. I was so surprised to hear that they really sound like that lol! I was SUCH a city-girl ;)
The iron's cooling off rapidly if the first photo is anything to go by. As for your kissable face, they say that dogs look like their owners - or vice versa. A quick transformation for both of you. Next thing, you'll be slobbering too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the interviews John!
ReplyDeleteConstance does indeed make a good pillow, but with her noises I don't know how much rest you'll get using her! :-))
How obliging of Constance!
ReplyDeleteWill you have to get a new cover for the polytunnel or can you patch it up?
oh mouse the cover is fine... I just left it in the car !!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, they do say that dogs and their owners grow to look like each other.
ReplyDeleteMost dog owners look like their dogs. xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of you and Constance with Borris (Bingley?) in the background. If you get a chance, check out Louise's post today of the wild turkeys visiting her feeder, including a gorgeous tom.
ReplyDeleteConstance looks quite content to be your pillow, too, John.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you all! :)
I want one of those pillows.
ReplyDeleteNo rest for the farm life John! I went in to my vet yesterday for some medication for my old dog, and I was lamblasted at the front desk by the friendliest english bulldog. She was a true love bug and made me think of you immediately. So I hope you felt my warm wishes for you all the way across the oceans yesterday!
ReplyDeleteJust caught up with your doings with Nuala, sounded like a grand time and well spent.
ReplyDeleteI texted my British daughter-in-law and learned what "poof" means in the UK... learn something new every day!!! I wish I could make you appear magically in Anchorage to have a cocktail with me at the Crows Nest!! Have a lovely Sunday!
I admit I didn't know quite what to think when I read the title of this post and saw the first photo. I thought perhaps you were being satirical and was very relieved to learn that none of the elders died unexpectedly.
ReplyDeleteYou really love that bulldog don't you? :-)
Dia
ahh Bliss....
ReplyDeleteLove your bulldog pillow. Constance and Bumble do resemble one another! Enjoying your blog.
