The last job of the evening is a brief dog walk. When bladders have been emptied and the grass verge sniffed, the terriers make their beds for the night and I can settle down in my big armchair with my " jimjams" on.
My jimjams consist of a extra large pair of Chris' old pyjama bottoms and my second best Walking Dead T shirt....it's an eclectic look.
Last night, I had to take our oldest dog , Meg out for a very late wee. She' s a nervy character and never quite got her bladder working on the dog's final walk of the day...and so, in my jimjams, I sneaked into the lane with Meg on her lead.
I really should have known better
Pyjamas gape at the crotch
And car headlights illuminate every detail
So
Apologies to the two young women driving a white fiat...
I didn't flash my goolies on purpose
Errrr , on a brighter note
Life in Trelawnyd is lumbering into spring proper
The Welsh Poppies are flowering in the garden
The broody buff and her chicks are now out in their new run
And in the kitchen incubator, there is the little "peep,peep, peep" from the ducklings trapped within their shells, three eggs, so far, are showing those tell tale spider cracks
from sharp little hatching beaks.
Hey ho
'I didn't flash my goolies on purpose'
ReplyDeleteI bet your local magistrate wishes he had a pound for every time he's heard that....
A common Not Guilty plea
DeleteI plead insanity
DeleteIt must be great to watch chickens hatch from eggs. Speaking of the things breaking out, oh dear.
ReplyDeleteOnly one duckling today so far
DeleteTG you weren't just wearing Chanel No5. . .
ReplyDeleteAnd a smile...
DeleteThey'll be dining out on the story of the 'Welsh Pyjama Flasher' for years to come, at least they didn't drive off the road in shock, and lets just hope it wasn't the local magistrate driving the car!!
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat watching eggs hatch out and those first mad tumbles they do into the world, lovely to watch, it can eat up sooooo much of your time :-)
It's hard to watch sue.... You want to help them
DeleteCan't wait to see pics of the ducklings. We had a batch in our spare room (and bath) a couple of years back. Gorgeous, but then they grew, and grew, and grew, so the farmer's market beckoned....
ReplyDeleteOnly one so far...the others are being a little slow
DeleteThose poor dears are probably scarred for life.
ReplyDeleteHow VERY dare you
Delete"Police are looking for a man walking a dog wearing pyjamas."
ReplyDeleteBtw: Make the most of 'Spring'. I've just heard that cold weather's on the way back - yet again!
Bugger
DeleteYou'll be going to Tescos in them next claiming it's a good place to keep your scotch eggs...
ReplyDeleteSomeday I just know I'm going to see you on the news here in the US!
ReplyDeleteMost wanted?
DeleteI don't know what you think about the weather there, but I find myself thinking: thank God I do not live there. Spring in May??
ReplyDeleteWhen in YOUR spring KK?
DeleteSpring here is in Feb-March. Today's temperatures: 39/24 degrees celcius
DeleteFlash a-ah
ReplyDeleteSaviour of the Universe
Flash
He saved everyone of us
Flash
He's a miracle
Flash
King of the impossible!
(appropriately by Queen)
I will showcase your poem tomorrow YP if that's ok
DeleteLOL! Note to self: must really not drink coffee while reading this blog! It is injurious to my laptop ;-)
ReplyDeleteCommando style eh? Much more comfortable than having multiple binding layers.
ReplyDeletePlease post pictures of ducklings when they arrive! I love them so......
Tomorrow hopefully
DeleteIt's really Chris' fault. They were his pyjamas.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I said to the police officer
Deleteyou really shouldn't use your old dogs bladder as an excuse to go out flashing at night! haha! what a sight to behold!
ReplyDeleteFlash Dance Mr. Peepers?
ReplyDeleteWhat a feeling
DeleteLovely fluffy little chickies..how sweet.
ReplyDeleteuh, how come no flashing on here? you flash perfect strangers but not your friends? I am disappointed. :(
ReplyDeleteI want to up my readership not clear the decks
Deleteawwwwwwwwww, let us be the judge of that!
DeleteAs soon as I saw the title of this post I knew where it was going ha ha
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember you've done this before!
Yes when I was badger watching a couple of years back
Delete..... Well remembered..I vowed then I would never do it again
I hear they sell beige macs in M&S.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Mind you, they might have stopped and given chase! Or even worse!
ReplyDeleteOh, John! Your life is full of adventure! Did you happen to see the flash of camera lighting? You might show up in the driver's blog....
ReplyDeleteNancy in Iowa
"Errrr , on a brighter note..."
ReplyDeleteWhat could possibly be brighter than a pair of dangling goolies illuminated by Halogen headlights?
Bless you John for brightening their evening!
ReplyDeleteD'ye ken John Gray with his coat so gay?
ReplyDeleteD'ye ken John Gray at the break o' day?
D'ye ken John Gray when he's far, far a-way.
With his hounds and his horn hanging out in the morning?
If old pudden face can do it!
LLX
Sweet little chicks and mum.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are so pretty, and 'sunny'.
You should don a 'cod-piece' for those late evening wee-walks :)
~Jo
I wish I'd seen you in your jimjams. No one ever flashes me.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
You don't really see flashers any more do you? A resurrection of an old pastime John. x
ReplyDeleteYou don't do you... I guess there's no demand.
DeleteIt's a lost occupation, like lamplighters and bus conductors.
And saggar maker's bottom knockers....
Ever think that maybe Chris wouldn't wear them anymore for that reason?
ReplyDeleteMy pal Al says that the only time he's seen Jason Isaacs (Jackson Brodie) in a toga is in his dreams! My overactive imagination must have conjured up the aforementioned image out of absolutely nowhere! Apologies all around today, then!
ReplyDeleteObviously what you need is an extra long lead. Then you can let Meg out to have a pee while you stay safely and decently in the cottage monitoring her movements....
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to do that with her own dog
DeleteIn the early morning I sometimes see a lady walking her dog in the street - she wears a respectable long black coat - but the pyjama trousers sometimes hang loose around her ankles - offending only Victorians, who, as I read, even knitted covers for table-legs, because even the word 'leg' was undelicate :-)
ReplyDeleteOf course one sees only a tiny bit of those trousers - my sentence seems a bit ambiguous.
DeleteThe Victorians did indeed prefer the word "limb" to the word "leg", but it's a myth that they knitted covers for table legs. They weren't totally bonkers....

ReplyDeletehow exciting adding to the ark!
ReplyDeleteNote to self: Put new pyjamas on your Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't be surprised to see them back tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteMost of my neighbours have long since gotten used to seeing in my wellies, pyjamas and jacket taking my dogs into the field for a run first thing in the morning. They don't bat an eyelid anymore but we recently got some new neighbours who looked at me as if I had two heads as I ambled out of my front door this morning in my PJ's, with 3 dogs raring to go and a cup of tea and some toast to take into the field for my breakfast lol :-)
ReplyDeletePjs and Welles......now I like THAT fashion statement
DeletePut it away, you perve.
ReplyDeleteOk miriam
DeleteOUCH!!!!!
DeleteAh, these events happen. I am sure the passengers have seen everything by now on their travels.
ReplyDeleteFYI: Get new jammies.
Too bad you didn't get a licence plate number, you could have sent them a bill for the "show".
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!! You could remedy that you know, John. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the soon to be ducklings!
Your flowers look lovely, John. Have a great week. ♥
Exposing the local ladies to a bit of... culture, eh? (Maybe they were too busy talking to notice.)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to watch ducklings hatch. I hope you share a picture of them. That would be just ducky.
Goolies...oh how I love how you talk!
ReplyDeleteI expect nothing less from you John than full exposure :D
ReplyDeleteSpring is springing in Wales...hey hey!!
