Well we got here in one piece........its 23.35 and I'm having a crafty gin and tonic in the living room of Sorrel's neat little maisonette after she, the Welsh terriers and Chris have all gone to bed.
Her pristine carpets remain pristine which was more than could be said for Chris' nephew's bedroom, which was liberally peppered with dog turds, just as I was tucking in to the tasty French vol au vents.
And so much of my evening has been spent scrubbing an 11 year old's carpet with a spare facecloth and dettol in front of 100 posters of Dr Who......
Hey Bloody Ho!
I haven't had time to catch up with blogs for a few days so please forgive me......
( I say this as I take one last swig of gin .......with my glass hand smelling somewhat of ...........
Happy Boxing Day

I have just been emailed this photo of turncoat George
who is staying at my sister's house
How quickly are we forgotton
( note the xmas scarf)
Lucky George, he won't be on your bad side for a while. Wishing you a good visit and I hope you spend all of the time cleaning up.
ReplyDeleteOops! I meant DON'T spend, ha ha ha.
DeleteGawd, I hope I didn't jinx your trip!
Deleteprecious georgie; loverly scarf!
ReplyDeleteGeorge, you look quite happy. Sometimes a change is nice.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
How can those dogs not be housebroken?? Seems like they shit on the floor at least once a week. Does Trelawnyd have a canine remedial toilet training class?
ReplyDeleteJohn- I just got two ducks, willed to me by a beloved friend who died a week and a few days ago. I am hoping they can become part of our little kingdom here with our chickens. I am enjoying them tremendously. They are so different than chickens and in a day I have learned a lot. As I observe them, I think of you.
ReplyDeleteHey Ho! Let's hear it for all the animals, even those who poop upon carpets.
George is looking so perky !
ReplyDeleteLove the little tip of the tongue peeking out. thehamish does that.
I hope the rest of your trip will go better.
cheers, parsnip
I'd need a large gin and tonic after that, too!
ReplyDeletePhoebe gave me the nicest Christmas present by letting me sleep in on Christmas Day and then vomited on the rug in three different places in the evening. sigh.

ReplyDeleteI should hope so too Carol.
ReplyDeleteLove the intelligent expression on George's face which the dimwit-tongue-protruding belies. Glad you're having a holiday away. Compliments of the season to you all. Jo
ReplyDeleteGeorge looks splendid in his scarf. He's probably missing you lots and just putting on a brave face. Or maybe not!
ReplyDeleteBombay Sapphire? Gordon's? Gilbey's? Poundland?.....or by then were you past caring?
ReplyDeleteI expect George is just enjoying some different doggy pals. Hope you have a lovely time in Kent……and eventually get those Welsh terriers house trained. Keep taking the gin !!
ReplyDeleteGeorge looks like he is having a fabulous time, I love his scarf ... dare I say it, he's almost more in the Christmas mood than you are!!
ReplyDeleteCan't dogs toilet habit be embarrassing, your poor nephews bedroom will never be the same again for him.
You AND the dogs have my sympathy. It's a minefield, taking dogs to stay in someone else's home - accidents will happen.....
ReplyDeleteYou really deserve that gin.!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous George! He looks like he is having a lovely holiday, shame about you John!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy my home county!
Fantastic photograph. Glad you got there OK.
ReplyDeleteGeorge looks so happy....he's enjoying his vacation.
ReplyDeleteGeorge looks super, sorry to hear about your cleaning duties !!
ReplyDeleteHappy Boxing Day to you too.

What would a holiday be without some kind of animal turds?!? So glad you're in Wales and not New England, USA. Gin & Tonic is not considered fashionable in winter.
ReplyDeleteRelax and enjoy! Dogs will be dogs, and in a new place they will do what they wouldn't do at home.
ReplyDeleteat least George looks like his time away is quite the treat...very natty in his scarf...
ReplyDeleteDon't they all look so innocent in that photo? But probably planning to indulge in some blatant naughtiness in a few minutes' time.
ReplyDeleteAh he's being pampered and looking very sharp!
ReplyDelete"...with a spare facecloth"
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. And I thought it couldn't get any worse than the dishcloth. I think you need to invest in a pack or two of disposable wipes from Poundland, where they are selling them for... eh... a pound.
Our Border Terrier used to go and stay with my parents when we went on holiday. When we went to pick him up he used to stand on the doorstep with Mum and Dad to wave us off. We had to pick him up and carry him to car, growling and biting all the way.
ReplyDeleteHey Ho.
At least it was the dogs that left the turds and not the nephew. That would be more of a problem
ReplyDeleteI love the picture!
Guess I shouldn't be grumbling about the 100 pounds of lemons I have to juice today. My little diabetic weenie, Sister, peed on my husband's carpet in his man cave today and he just died. He wasn't raised with animals and doesn't believe they belong inside a home. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me they are all looking at food - wins hands down every time.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I woke up to one pile of cat barf, and by midnight had cleaned up two more. Despite our best efforts, three of the four cats had found something verboten under the tree and ingested it ... foil wrapping paper for one and curling ribbon for the other two. Sigh.
