I didn't get him a Valentine's day card
He sent me a Marks & Spencer's one
With
From Mrs Right
Inside.....
( I guess Marks and Spencer's haven't yet got their heads
Around Mr & Mr Valentine's Day Cards )
I made amends
And stopped any further sulking by making a banana loaf with custard this afternoon.
I am spent up this morning,
Had to take William to the vets regarding his skin irritation
£ 75 and not even the George Clooney vet to make goo goo eyes at
Pah!
Blustery and exceedingly wet here today
I've lost 7 followers in a week
Perhaps I'm talking about the weather too much!
Good business idea...give that to Chris. In your free time, ha!, you can make cards.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll pass on that one
DeleteThe above is a pretty good idea, but I bet you can get them in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteI bet they have them in Gay's The Word in Bloomsbury!
DeleteWe didn't really bother this year. I think we were both too wrapped up in me having the remaining cysts gouged out of my head this morning to remember it. Anyway - there was enough chocolate in the house to be getting on with. Will stock up on payday Monday week, when some of the specials in Hotel Chocolat may be reduced.
ReplyDeleteI think we were both too wrapped up in me having the remaining cysts gouged out of my head this morning to remember it.
DeleteThe best line reply of the week!!!
It's hard not to talk about the weather when it invades your life to the extreme. Google wants to put falling snowflakes on most of my pictures.
ReplyDeleteI bet you could get your cards online.
I just can't be arsed with valentine's day
DeleteNever have really bothered with it....
I prefer to show my affection by food!, deed and scrubbing the toilet
Scrubbing the toilet is a WONDERFUl show of affection. As is cleaning up digestic upsets/mishaps shared by the animals.
Deletethe followers you lost were either (a) idiots or (b) spammers. no big deal.
ReplyDeleteEffin bastards
DeleteI enjoy your blog very much and I love the chicken photo on your title page. Is there a way I can find a copy of it? I think you should visit a castle and post about it. It would relieve my overwhelming desire to fun away to the UK despite my husband's fear of flying! P.S. Do you have a great Yorkshire Pudding recipe?
ReplyDeleteI will check my recipe books.....
DeleteAs for the photo...help,yourself if you can....you have my permission to use anything from my blog xxx
Thanks! As a retired teacher, I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly with today's post on Prince and Princess children. They were always a pain in the a$$ to teach. Their parents were bigger ones.
DeleteBanana loaf with custard sounds lovely. Did you save any for Chris?
ReplyDeleteCheeky cow!
DeleteHe eaten 3/4 of it!
Plus one more follower today! I love reading the blog daily about your and Chris's life in Trelawnyd and the crazy capers of George, the dogs and the rest of the farm life.
ReplyDeleteMo,
DeleteI think I love you
Ha ha ha we had 2 huge rib eye steaks but I couldn't eat much of mine as I had undercooked them so this morning the chickens got it....they go crazy for meat.
ReplyDeleteWhen I joined Pinterest I got lots of followers although strangely most of them weren't wearing many clothes....however they have mostly gone and now....all for the best I feel.
I think we are ALL talking about the weather too much.....Poor William...hope his condition clears up soon.
ReplyDeleteDelores , he's on steroids
DeleteSo he's peeing a great deal
This was to be our first Valentine's Day together since 2001, but when Miss Chef's former boss texted to ask if she could work, I realized I really didn't care. It's a total non-starter. Though I did get her some chocolates anyway. The good relationships don't care what the card companies tell us about love.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I am there to mop up the sick...that says more than a friggin card eh?
DeleteCommercialized twaddle if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteChris is cooking me a meal tonight for my birthday (12th)..can't beat having a meal cooked for you...though I wouldn't refuse if he offered to do the ironing instead.
Jane x
I love my feet rubbed
DeleteThat would outclass a card anyday
We "missed" Valentine as we'd just had my bd (also low-key as we were traveling inter-Africa) and as we have Grant's tomorrow. The followers you lost are the losers, John. You're the best! xxx
ReplyDeleteA lady of great taste jo...a lady if great taste xx

ReplyDeleteWell I'm not leaving you!! We don't do the Valentine's thing but after a crap 12 months decided we should make the effort. All the mushy cards made we want to barf. Then I saw it. A card proclaiming "You're a knob but I like you really". It has pride of place by the TV. The weather is a bit all encompassing at the moment. I'm probably boring people by talking about my knitting and crochet projects. You can't win x
ReplyDeleteA gay card would be
Delete" you have a knob"
I am still following from here in snowy Canada!
ReplyDeleteThose followers who left just did not realise what they are missing.
As for Valentine's Day, well, a lovely card was received, as well as a peck on the way out the door last night as he left for one of his weekly football “can not be missed under any circumstances” matches. So I was left alone last night. Not even sure his team won their match! Ain't love grand? LOL
Why did he kiss the door?
DeleteIf you like I will make up for those seven followers by following you seven times each day - does that count?
ReplyDeleteThe farmer and Valentine cards are never to be mentioned in the same sentence - but he is definitely Mr Right = and I tell him so frequently.
You old romantic gal you!
DeletePlease continue with the weather updates. Not only do I worry about you and your neighbors, it's comforting that as I sit watching the snow fall on the foot and a half we already have, I can tell myself that at least it's not rain.
ReplyDelete(The first two blogs that I check first thing each day are yours and our Hippo friend. Both fascinating)
He's tougher than me...I am funnier
DeleteX
Poor William. Get better soon. Maybe it is stress eczema (cant spell that), from Winnie flashing about provocatively, he didn't have any fivers to put in her pants...?
ReplyDeleteAs for valentines day, pah!
I learnt how to follow this week as I have been using a kindle as my laptop went blue screen. I learnt that the google oblong above all the people who follow was a button... Who knew! lol so you gained me and lost some others. maybe it is my fault
As long as you are sol...that's all that matters xx
DeleteI think I'm following twice! Is that even possible? As you well know anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteFollow again girlfriend
DeleteXxxxx
The followers you lost must be stupid.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I tried to follow, but don't know if I was successful. I, too, check you first, every single day, and then hippo doing something on the lawn.
ReplyDeleteFollow me babs or I'll smack your buns
DeleteI too read you and Hippo every morning and afternoon….not sure how to do the " follow" but will if I can!
ReplyDeleteGet yer arse into gearXx
DeleteI have done the " follow" ! Well done me, I can do it! ( stuff on computer )
ReplyDeleteBlimey, you have already answered me before I did the follow…impressed ! You must be online ?
ReplyDeleteChilling out watching shite Saturday night tv Francis.....
DeleteWe had a night at the theatre last night
Slumming it tonight xxx
Don't feel bad about losing followers. We all do. I just assume they died. It is better that way.
ReplyDeleteYour best reply EVER ...made me laugh xxx
DeleteI think you talk about the walking dead and the baking programme wayyyy more than you talk about the weather! The people who unfollowed you are probably closet homophobes anyway. I think you're great!
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
Really?
DeleteHomophobes on GOING GENTLY
How very charming!
Dear John, I Love you dear cyber friend. Happy Day after Valentines Day.
ReplyDeleteEver,
Sherry
as a "hanger on" I wish you a belated Happy Valentine's Day John, as well as to Chris...so sorry about William and the vet you can't make goo goo eyes at...I'm sure the banana loaf with custard was appreciated :)
ReplyDeleteIt was, he ate most of it x
DeleteOften hard not to talk about the weather when it is the most exciting thing happening in the area. lol
ReplyDeleteOk I get the gist xxx
DeleteJohn dude,
ReplyDeleteThe losing of followers and I hate the word, "followers", is no big deal. Besides, follower totals is totally misleading, anyway. I'm riveted to your must-read postings.
How's the weather, right now, my friend? Look forward to your reply.
Gary :)
Gary....
DeleteOh I know
But it's the " not knowing ins" that bugs me just a little
If there was a box saying
" you're boring me"
That could be ticked
I d love it
Then I could really bitch them out!
Tee hee
They must be pretty boring people if they think your blog is boring, John. Everyone was talking about the weather because it's been so crazy this past week.
ReplyDeleteHave a quiet Sunday, John. ♥
After checking my blog stats I decided it's better to have had and lost, than never to have had at all, hee hee
ReplyDelete( Mind you it would help if I blogged more often I suppose......and wasn't so boring.)
I am the ultimate weather nerd. I love the weather channel! Just been busy the past week or so! Life takes over sometimes. Friend having radical mastectomy. No reflection at all on your blog.
