I have a lot of "to do" lists to sort out in my jet lagged head
My Father-in-law visits at the end of the week
and Operation dog-snot removal will commence this afternoon
My elder sister is having her new bionic knee fitted this afternoon too!
She's gone private
She always loved doillies
Everyone in Uk dreams about tropical beaches but what I really would like is a long walk down a cold one with the dogs leading to a decent pint in the pub!
ReplyDeleteHow many animals do you actually have? Do you have an occasional 'counting'?
ReplyDeleteat the last count cro
Delete74
I try not to count so as not to worry I may be a hoarder....
DeleteOne misty moisty morning when cloudy was the weather ...
ReplyDeleteI too am not a fan of hot beaches, give me a deserted windswept one instead any day!
Your sister's going private for a knee? What a waste of money! Mrs P got her hips done on a BOGOF with the NHS.
ReplyDeleteDoillies? Surely no one liked doillies ever
ReplyDeleteO to be on a deserted Welsh beach in the wind and rain, I'm so jealous, yes really.
ReplyDeleteNot sure where the jet-lag came from . . . Did I miss a post?
They are a certain tye "Doilly likers" x
jet lagged after 2 night shifts bugs!
DeleteGoing private...how very Mrs Bucket!
ReplyDeleteJane x
Hope her knee replacement is successful. We had fog here in the morning yesterday. It's a special feeling, being outside on a heavily foggy day.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if I trawled through previous posts I could find out but I'm going to ask anyway....what 'breeds' are your three lovely terriers? The inverted commas are only because Snippet is such a terrier mutt; not casting aspersions should they be pedigrees!
ReplyDeletemeg and william are Welsh terriers and George is a scottish terrier em
DeleteJohn, you really, REALLY, need a Jack Russell in there somewhere. Honestly. You'll thank me.....
DeleteCobwebs and snot, sounds a bit like my house, with mine having loads of dust bunnies and woodstove ashes floating about.
ReplyDeleteBeach. Fog.Dogs. Sticks. Life. Good
ReplyDeleteThose are some happy looking dogs. I hope some of their energy and good spirits rub off on you prior to beginning Operation Dog Snot Removal (ODSR). Good luck to your sis, and quick and complete recovery for her!
ReplyDeleteYou going to get in a nap today with that busy schedule?
ReplyDeleteJohn, do we need to have a chat about self-care?
Kelly in Cali
Me again.
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention... OMG! The Walking Dead. Look what you've done to me. I'm obsessed. That picture on your side bar (aka Zombie charm). Ding-dong! HOT!

y work is done kelly if I convert one person to the ways of Mr Dixson x
DeleteWe have brillant sunshine here today, for which i'm glad, as i need to move the old carcase, and the sunshine helps that. We've got deserted beaches here, too, and a long breakwater which is a nice amble and the winds are strong enough to blow away all the cobwebs. Hats, too, as i lost my favourite one in the drink.
ReplyDeleteIt's a foggy morning here in NZ too, John. No beach though!
ReplyDeleteTime to move anything plastic out of William's reach..
ReplyDeleteEven overcast in Sevilla today (although plenty of sun sneaking in at times). I'm not a fan of the cold, but I do love an empty beach in winter (especially in snow). So happy operation dog-snot removal is on again. Is that only done when important company is expected?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to your sister on her knee operation. The terrors look as if wild and woolly Prestatyn is their little bit of heaven.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the outing at the beach will clear their heads and reduce the snot production!
ReplyDeleteThanks John.....the Welsh ones will be going on my list of potential Snippet companions along with Patterdales, Irish, Lakelands and any combinations of the above.
ReplyDeleteWe used to visit the Chirk car bootsale, The Countess of Chester Carboot sale and the Sunday market near the old ferry on the old coastal road. That must be near you John. Did they ever do anything with the ferry?
ReplyDeleteThanks for visting the blog.
I did my psychiatric nurse training at the countess dave!
DeleteEm, what about Airedales? Ours was a lovely dog though I guess they are fairly big.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your sister that things go well and she has a speedy recovery, John.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you with cleaning and your father-in-law's visit, too. *hugs* ♥
Lovely photos of the pups.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a speedy recovery to your sister.
You are sooooooo lucky to have the beach close. I really miss going for a walk on the beach.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for a while now, after a long break and it's lovely to catch up on all your news. You do make me laugh.
Sue
Love that slightly sarcastic last line John - also those doggie photos. Miserable weather here too.
