Friendly Persuasion and Otto

It's heading towards Christmas, and thoughts are drifting towards catching up with old friends...
I have a mixed bag to meet up with....including

-an extrovert nurse consultant (specializing in abnormalities of the genital tract)! beat that one
-a teaching assistant free spirit with a big heart,
-a blokey sci fi geek and his yummy mummy missus
-a straight PR executive who writes kindle gay porn,
-a serious academic who loves The Archers, Marc Almond and Kathy Kirby,
-a 40 something new mom in Manchester who hates party hats,
-a shiatzu masseuse and her psychologist sidekick,
-an artistic Audrey Tautou lookalike with a passion for old fabrics

yes It's time to catch up again
wonder how they describe me?

humm answers on a postcard!!

Otto (well a lookalike) who arrives to Bwthyn-y-llan very soon
We are taking in a friend's Affenpinscher for a while when they are having extensive building work done
should be fun!!!

  3. Otto will probably do just fine. Cute dog type.

    Quite the assortment of friends! It does take all kinds to make us a nice rounded person ;)

  5. I love gay porn AND Audrey Tautou look-alikes.

    They would definitely be in my Amélie-esque montage of things I like.

  14. Had enough of puppies lately - after minding daughters two and near going spare at their puppy destruction, I've just made an overnight trip to Campbelltown (outside of Sydney) to her new home in answer to a distress call of one puppy destroying the garden of their rented home and the other excavating "wombat holes" in the house yard! Sheesh! Owners need discipline as much as the puppies!

    Do you ever get all those friends together at the one function? LOL!

  18. That group sounds like a lot of fun. I would love to listen in on those conversations.

    I think you should all wear party hats; the new mom needs to get her sense of humor back.

  19. They are sometimes called "monkey dogs"...you can see why.

  20. Imagine the postcard: snow-covered alps, lambs frolicking amongst daffodils, or I could find a lusty Maori warrior wielding his taiaha in front of a boiling mud pool. Anyway I digress because I'm supposed to be writing on the back...
    How to describe a new blog friend: who nurses nights (or is that knights) husbands his farm with compassion and dedication, observes the sweet minutae of humanity's daily life, and loves collecting old things - like me :-) That's all I can fit on this postcard!

  21. Otto will love it there!

  22. Variety is the spice of life, I've heard. You have a well-rounded group of friends.

    I LOVE that dog!!

  23. I’d like to clarify that I have never had a passion for fabrics, nor do I resemble Audrey Tautou, and I’ve never had a stab at gay porn. This Christmas I will be aiming to visit several folk, including the personality-double of Time Team presenter Tony Robinson (which he denies), who lives in North Wales with his long-suffering partner (who must have the patience of a saint).

  27. Fascinating! My life is boring in comparison.

  29. Otto looks like some ancient Chinese sage. If you ask him nicely, he'll probably tell you the meaning of life.
