With Melanie Wilks still on his deathbed upstairs, I took the opportunity to sneak out on the field to write Bob's eulogy for tomorrow. Its blowing a gale but is strangely warm , so after I wrote the bulk of it, I indulged myself in a spot of cloud watching.
I love cloud watching in the sunshine, and so do the dogs who often tiptoe up, one by one , to lie in the crook of an arm or snuggle up against a foot or a shoulder.
To passing cars, I am sure , I resemble the grave of John Gray with four Greyfriar's Bobbies standing guard!
It was only a matter of time before I started to doze,
And only woke when a sudden shadow blocked out the sun.
I opened my eyes just in time to see a massive bulldog fanny being lowered slowly and very purposefully downwards!
I feel defiled

She wuvs you. What a good girl :)
ReplyDeleteYour fella has been sick a long time. Hope he feels better soon.
i suppose it could be worse it could have been a neighbour jumping on board to offer a bit of CPR
ReplyDeleteWhen i first started cloud watching years ago, two of them did hurry over to see if i was ok
DeleteThe Prof sure has been under the weather for a while for a food poisoning illness. He must have some kind of virus.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to sleep with one eye open!
If the fanny didn't leave a deposit on your face, you needn't feel defiled.
ReplyDeleteOh dear god
DeleteFunny how this song popped into my head...

Lol.........i would have sung that but i had fluff in my mouth
DeleteOMB, I was thinking the same thing! :)
DeleteChris has been 'off his feed' for quite a while now. Doesn't sound like food poisoning at all does it?
ReplyDeleteIts the third day now....he has eaten today
DeleteCorned beef hash ( homemade)
Miss Winnie has no manners.
ReplyDeleteHave you posted Alfred by Miss Mellie, since all the dogs are gone with you?
ummmm, yuck, gross, nasty, dire, horrendous, appalling , hideous , dreadful and rather shocking. Winnie has no manners. She seems ruled by her lady parts.
ReplyDeleteI love cloud watching but if I did lay down like you did, I could never get up ! I have to just sit and look up.
Poor Chris I hope he gets better soon. This is hanging on far to long.
So happy Albert is helping him feel better.
cheers, parsnip
I could show you a fanny in the face John, make no mistake..
ReplyDeleteI feel sick
DeleteNo need to feel sick John, it is nice an clean.
DeleteNow I feel sick.
DeleteI've got a headache.
DeleteHow old are we?
DeleteI'm just waiting for that old fart that comments on stephenson's blog to chirp up " hey ho"
And i will barf for england
He wouldn't dare here.
DeletePerhaps Winnie should lower her nether regions on Chris, that would get him out of bed :) hope he is soon better x
ReplyDeleteThat would put him on ITU
DeleteThese things could only happen to you John - you are unique.
ReplyDeleteAnother classic title. Maybe you should compile a top ten greatest titles through the ages of your blog.
ReplyDeleteBet most have the words fanny in them kev
DeleteWhich, John I think, is irony at its best!!
DeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
Or maybe the word fart...
DeleteNothing is sacred.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Spay and neuter your poor frustrated puppies!! Makes life infinitely easier for everyone... yes/no?
ReplyDeleteNo not winnie............
DeleteOh the horror of fanny in the face LOL
ReplyDeleteYour beloved sounds like he has a virus instead of food poisoning.
While I may be across the pond here is what happened to my neighbors recently. They came back from Florida, husband got sick that day before flying home and was throwing up and bedridden for a few days. Then his wife got it. Now they are both better, but it knocked them out on their asses and they both originally thought he has food poisoning. Hope he is on the mend!!
He's still not right yet miss F
DeleteBut he managed to hold down a home made corned beef hash
Poor guy. But if he can hold down homemade hash, he just might be to rights soon enough!
DeleteI actually feel sorry for Winifred's fanny, a lucky escape for it me thinks.
ReplyDeleteIt can look after itself john
DeleteIt doesn't sound like Chris has food poisoning, it sounds more like some nasty bug or perhaps a parasite invasion.
ReplyDeleteShe wuvs you...
I'm a cloud watcher myself, never lying on the ground though. Too many fire ants.
I think it was food poisioning
Deleteew ew ew!
ReplyDeleteIt's all right. I'm sorry you live with Melanie, but at least Melanie is in love with John and not Ashley Wilkes.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Oh dear. Oh dear no.
ReplyDeletePoor old Prof... Rub some goose fat on his chest, or would that upset the menagerie?
ReplyDeletePoor Prof! As if a 24 hour tummy bug isn't bad enough! I've certainly had food poisoning that lasted a while. Guess what it was from? Seafood pasta at a very swanky hotel. Damn those evil prawns!
ReplyDeleteShe lurvvvves you hehehe x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you woke up!!
ReplyDeleteI could have been smothered in my sleep
Delete"There's a strange residue on the corpse's face Inspector..."
ReplyDelete"Not only that, officer, he smells quite distinctly of fanny."
The sheer indignity of it!
At least the Professor is able to eat again, and it is to be hoped that you haven't yet succumbed.
Did you stick your tongue out?
ReplyDeleteClearly, Winnie thinks you are also a bulldog! What will your dog name be? I am thinking Rover...or maybe Scruffy! A collar with brass studs in would be a suitable addition to your wardrobe - but you've probably already got one.
Ha! Melanie Wilkes! "Take care of Ashley...he loves you so..."
ReplyDeleteOr Winnie, as the case may be...
I could not cope with your life. Too much dog bum...
ReplyDeleteNurse Gray in the allotment with the Fanny - I don't remember those in Cluedo?
ReplyDeleteHoping a kiss from Ashley or the smelling salts will revive poor Melanie. :-)
Pize for the best comment goes to you x
