- Last night The Prof was working away.....I was rostered to work nights.....best laid plans
- I planned to take some holiday time owed to me and leave work around 6 am so that I could get home a little earlier to walk the bladder busted dogs......best laid plans.
- My emergency patient was admitted at 5.00 am which necessitated in me staying........best laid plans
- I didn't leavework until well after 8.30 and remember that I had left three goose eggs on the kitchen table last night.....best laid plans
- The kitchen floor looked like a cross between a badly kept farmyard and an explosion in a goose egg factory when I got home...............best laid plans
- I had a small weep then took the dogs out for a walk, I then took them into the field where I tied them to the gate and went to let the animals out. ........best laid plans
- Suddenly the ewes thundered past me with a determined and very excited Mary galloping right at their heels.........FUCKING BEST LAID PLANS EH?
- Eventually with help from the neighbours , goo goo eyed Welsh terrier bitch was caught and hyperventilating ewes left to calm down.......fed dogs, fed cat,.....burnt toast when making mushrooms on toast.....BLP!
- Went to bed at 9.30

And it's only lunchtime.. have a nice day x
ReplyDeleteWOW!! One of those days eh John? Hope your day is better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteay yi yi! good thing the prof didn't see the kitchen floor!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggles . . . at your "best laid plans " expense!
ReplyDeleteI hope your day still has a "bit of luck" in it . . .
I'm sorry, but you did make me smile. Such a difficult few hours for you, but yet I detected a smidgeon of humour beneath it all. Hope the day went better. Hope the goose egg pulp had not dried too hard and turned into cement. Vx
ReplyDeleteForget the Scotch egg. A drink of Scotch might be more appropriate!
ReplyDeleteSounds like time for a nice nap.
ReplyDeleteThe scotch egg is on its way. Somehow.
ReplyDeleteLove,

ReplyDeletePerfect comic relief for me today ... and it is only in the morning still ! BLP ..
ReplyDeletelove
Let's just say it wasn't one of your better days John.
ReplyDeleteBut on a positive note, the sun's shining! X
ReplyDeleteLong ago - I [pretty much] learned to never make plans ...
ReplyDeleteYou need to have a stash of Scotch Eggs for emergencies only. You know what, I am more of a chocolate craver, but you are making me want to buy a Scotch Egg after work now!
ReplyDeleteIt never rains but it pours...
ReplyDeleteDried-on egg is so difficult to remove. And that Mary is like your beloved but unruly child whose pigtails are always falling apart, her socks are down, her face is smeared with jam but she is unfailingly happy!
ReplyDeleteYou don't 'do' boring do you John....statement not question.
ReplyDeleteI hope the rest of today was calmer than yesterday!
ReplyDelete... and presented here for our entertainment ... but it also reminds us to look for the humour in our own bad days. My husband and I tag team animal care also, so when something delays us I am always worrying about them, but I have to say it has never been this bad. Maybe that's the difference between cats and dogs? Wonderful description of your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI bet the ewes take the weekend to calm down. They need buns or lovely bread to get rid of the colly wobbles.
ReplyDeleteOn a completely different note, John, have you heard from Suzie in Michigan. I have sent her an email. I hope she is well.
John, I'm sorry that your BLP's went awry, but boy, your post made me smile. I didn't realize Mary was big enough to chase ewes yet. Hope you're having two Scotch eggs right now. xx
ReplyDeleteSigh.
ReplyDeleteI hope today's plans run smoothly. And without the mess.
Today can only get better, surely??
ReplyDeleteOn another tack ... is there someone who, in an emergency, could let the dogs out? Even if they were then tethered outside until you got home? I had a metal rope the puppy couldn't chew through that safely tethered her... just thinking

My day has been going ok so far but I read this again, just for the smiles and hoping for BLP for you and everyone else !
ReplyDeleteI know. Not funny. But howling here.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI think Libby said it best, "you don't do boring"
and thank goodness for that.
oh I can.....ask the prof
Deleteany decent dog will clean up egg until there's not a trace
ReplyDeletejust shell all over the floor
DeleteAre the ewes, pets or food?
ReplyDeletelawn mowers
DeleteThere is a field of lawn mowers just up my hill, with a few Highland cattle and one horse. I never thought of borrowing a few sheep and getting my lawns done !
DeleteIt was just one of those days. Glad you weren't seriously (physically) injured.

DeleteYou need some coddling, so you do! Had a BLP myself today... someone who is not me left the gate to the back garden standing open and you can't see the gate from the back door. Picture me wobbling around, the kidling looking all 'Tara' and all four scattering in every direction whilst the extremely large and loud family prancing down the middle of the street does all they can to interfere.
ReplyDeleteThere, feel a bit better now?
Oh, Lord. I'd say it's time for a G&T.
ReplyDeleteHang in there! Today will be better.
