"You're maudlin and full of self-pity. You're magnificent!"


Yesterday, I was sipping a cocktail looking across the London skyline at the Glowing Shard. Today I'm dragging Albert's face out of a half constructed cottage pie in my pyjamas 
Winnie is unconcious  in bed, William is hiding somewhere dark Mary and George are asleep in the kitchen and its raining again. 
There is a massive brown patchwork of muddy paw prints to scrub from the kitchen floor. 
And sometime in the night William backed into the folded ironing board lying against the wall by the door and  has shat all over it. 
Welcome back to Trelawnyd

    2. Won't there be a faint lingering whiff of dettol on all the Prof's shirts at work? Well I guess if there is ..... it'll just remind him of home and all the happy times he has there with you and the menagerie .....

  13. What a homecoming. What we do to take care of our animals and sometimes feel so little gratitude. Maybe Albert will bring you a mouse later.

  16. Sounds like a day at ours...

  17. OK... either there's a cottage pie in your pajamas (is that where you usually make them? British cookery tends to be mysterious to us yanks); or Albert was wearing your pajamas whilst burying his head in aforementioned pie (or possibly burying his face in pie that was wearing aforementioned pajamas); or you were wearing pajamas when Albert fell into the pie he was making (talented critter but prone to narcolepsy?). Which one was it?

  18. The advantage of writing a blog is you can always say "at least I have something to write about now".

    2. I fell in the shit today. my wellie got stuck in the gloopy, poopy mud and I went arse over tit straight into the electric fence. Got totally covered from toes to waist. Am now going out into the street (busy junction too) wearing my jamas to put the bins out. It's all about the glammer!

    1. Unfortunately yes.......we often find turds pushed against walls/doors around 10 inches above the floor

  32. And yet, dear John, you are perfectly centred at the heart of your family and most of the time as content as anyone who fits in their place can be.

    Oh sure, there are the cottage pie in pyjama days, but those just point up all the good days.
