Grey skies over the village this morning
I'm cooking a chicken and mushroom masala for lunch, it's only 8 points on fatclub!
This morning I dropped off the Flower Show schedules to the new people of the village. Each schedule has a " Welcome to Trelawnyd" letter. I noticed three households are couples with young children which is nice.
I bumped into "Med" who has just had his varicose veins done , he was rather sore " down below"
" I feel as though I've done 24 hours in a brothel" he admitted
I told him I wouldn't know how that felt!
I also stopped to gossip with the neighbours. The subject matter of our conversation was the new owner of the plot of land behind the cottage. He let slip to me in the pub on Friday night that he was going to be living in the house he is about to build with his 17 dogs!
He knew I rented the church field and rather surprisingly wanted to be allowed to sub rent it to exercise his pets ! I told him no...not with sheep and cockerels on the field......we will see where this development leads us....
Off to bed now for a bit. After tonight only six night shifts to go before I leave!
I see I have lost four followers! Trump bashing is having it's effect!
Oh dear hey ho
How our neighbourdhoods change!
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out Trump followers? If you listed all his deeds and mistakes and gave any other politicians name they would be furious but Trump followers refuse to admit they made a mistake voting for him even if it ruins their own country? Hard to admit they fell for a charlatan I suppose!
ReplyDeleteI think it has something to do with the human failing of not being able to admit to a mistake.
DeleteBut every time someone says they voted for him .. it ... I remind them of what a mistake they made lol
17 dogs is a hell of a lot of dogs. Is it a kennels place they are building? I would get the prof to hurry up with that job hunting.
ReplyDeleteNo real loss if it is only Trumpets.
ReplyDeleteI agree. My own husband voted for him and now doesn't want to hear any news about him. Would never admit he was wrong. Only says politicians are all crazy and yet Trump isn't even a politician.
DeleteHahaha...mine too!
DeleteI didn't vote for Trump but I didn't vote for Clinton either.
DeleteBut do we know the people who left were Trump followers ?
For me my party Democrat, ( do not vote a straight party ticket) has let me down for so many years, that I can see why many "Deplorable" ( what Clinton called me ) who live in the uncultured fly over states (me) would finally have enough. Too bad it happened this year or any year.
Just saying......
cheers, parsnip
Lots of goings on in the village these days ... and with visits to brothels, too!
ReplyDeleteYour idyllic cottage life might be coming to an end; perchance the catalyst for a move elsewhere.
ReplyDeletedump supporters are uneducated idiots (like my BIL & SIL). if they left, small loss.
ReplyDeleteI'mma come to your house for lunch; sounds dee-lish!
SEVENTEEN DOGS???? Do you have municipal bylaws about how many pets a person can have inside the village limits?
ReplyDeleteThe noise :(
DeleteWhere I live you can not have more than two dogs.
Delete17 would be zoned a shelter and a big no in a residential neighborhood. As NFA said to noisy !
If I noticed any Trump bashing, I would never ever leave ! I am right there with the Bashers ...
ReplyDeleteNow they can go back to bashing Victor Orban.
DeleteCurried dog. They say it tastes like chicken.
ReplyDeleteHi John :) You can bash Trump, I don't care, I live in Canada so I'm considered too neutral, lol...consider me a new follower. That's why I want to move to the woods, far away, so I can have seventeen dogs!! :) Right now we have three, but I definitely want more. :)
ReplyDeleteSeventeen dogs? Is that allowed? I think you'll be moving house soon.
ReplyDeleteMy next-door neighbor STILL has her Trump sign in the yard. Also a sign from about four Easters ago which proclaims, "He is Risen!" And I bet she has at least a dozen dogs.
ReplyDeleteBeware.
We must live in the same town. The house around the corner from us had a Trump/Pence sign up that finally fell over and is still lying face down on the ground. Prophetic? And those white crosses with "He is Risen!" on them that are planted in so many yards remind me of either Boot Hill or a pet cemetery. (The house with the fallen Trump sign has crosses all over the place.)
DeleteOh no! 17 dogs is a lot of noise and poo! Glad you didn't say yes to the field that you rent.
ReplyDeleteI won't leave you, John, even though I rarely comment I do read you first thing every day. Love your goings-on.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby spent one winter working in a bush camp in Manitoba that had a First Nations lady for a cook. She also had a trap line and she would display her catch of frozen critters from squirrels to wolves in her shed and at meal times the men would check the to see that all the critters were in the shed and not in the stew pot but one evening they didn't notice the dog didn't greet them as they drove in. Hubby says the chops looked and tasted like pork chops.
Trump is a raving lunatic and I'm sorry for insulting other lunatics out there.
Oh My Goodness... what a comment. Did they know it was the dog for sure ?
DeleteOh that makes me both sad and disgusted :(
Delete17 dogs...i mean, really? we should all appreciate our good neighbors more, though i've never had any. trump bash away..i think you will end up with more followers.
ReplyDeleteSurely there are other fields for him to rent? You're in the land of wide-open spaces, after all. :)
ReplyDeleteChicken and Mushroom curry for us too tonight.
ReplyDeleteif they left over Trump bashing they weren't worth having.
ReplyDeleteRemember what was said so you can do it some more .. who wants a TrumpLover around ?
DeleteI would have thought Trump bashing would have gained you followers lol. I hope your new neighbour doesn't turn out to be trouble. That many dogs sounds more like a breeding kennel than it does household pets.
ReplyDeleteOr one of those nutters that we get here sometimes.. dozens of poor ill and insane dogs crammed into an apt or small home with one totally deranged person living in all the mess.
DeleteThank you for the inspiration - I've been trying to think how to season today's casserole (low carb, with spaghetti squash and mixed seafood) - I'll curry it! Delightful.
ReplyDeleteAnd Trump-bash away. You can't say anything worse than what I'm thinking...
Oh - and on retirement, I do envy you your six shifts. I've taken to thinking in units of weekends. At the moment, I have 93 left until I'm done.
ReplyDeleteBash away, I follow Trump news like I would follow a particularly ghastly soap! Home politics is depressing but for different reasons. Any chance the dogs are tiny pomeranians?sp? Janx
ReplyDeleteThank you for any and all Trump bashing

DeleteGrey skies in southeast Texas this morning but a sweltering 83 degrees already.
ReplyDelete17 dogs? Oh my, there goes the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIn Oz you would not be allowed to have 17 dogs in an ordinary household. Three is the max. Seventeen will be very noisy, I am a dog lover but that's a kennel and shouldn't be allowed amongst houses. Shame for you, I see problems ahead.
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of dogs?! Not a bloody fox hunter is he?
ReplyDeleteIs your soon to be new neighbour running a dog shelter ? I hope he picks up the poop of seventeen dogs.
ReplyDeleteI ain't going anywhere
ReplyDeleteYoy curry sounds so good is it a special one from the weight group ? Do you serve it with rice ? I must look a recipe right now.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and thehamish
Gosh I just looked up a recipe and there are so many but they all looked so good.
DeleteHe might offer more money for the land than you are paying. Perhaps you have a lease.
ReplyDeleteDid you get the poster / painting john ?
ReplyDelete17 dogs? WTF? I can recommend Boots Muffles, wax earplugs, n I only have 2 now xx

ReplyDeleteThere's no need in us expecting the entire world to admire our Emperor's new clothes. A lot of us think he's naked, too.
ReplyDeleteSo how does "Med" know what 24 hours in a brothel would feel like??
ReplyDeleteI just read this morning a quote attributed to Mark Twain that "Its easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."
ReplyDeleteSheesh..17 dogs as neighbours!! Like you and other Winnie,Mary & Co fans here I live dogs BUT our neighbour about 1/4 mile up rhe hill has a breeding kennel. Moodles ..labradoodles or some other weird mix ..whatever they are kennelled and howl all day while devoted owners are at work or out on the town on weekends!!
ReplyDeleteThey drive me insane depending on which way the wind blows.
As well they have 'pets' with those containment collars on that slip the electrified boundary and force their way through sheep netting to chase my sheep so we purchased two alpaca guards and incidents are now rare..neighbours UGH!!
So much to look foward too in your retirement if that will be a reality
Actually I love dogs as well as live with them 😄
ReplyDelete17 dogs . . . a bit much . . .
ReplyDeleteWe have three behind us a bit . . .
And when they are in "chorus" oh,oh my!
My Mister Irish named them . . .
Bitchy, Barky, Bitey . . .
after he went to say hello and guess who bit him.
Come to think of it, been quiet of late . . .
I better check and see if they are ok . . .
Seventeen dogs? Good grief, they must take some looking after....
ReplyDeleteSeventeen dogs, quelle horreur !
ReplyDelete'Trump bashing'...isn't that an oxymoron?? Carry on, dear sir.
ReplyDelete17 dogs out together = a pack. Look out for Albert, who has no idea he's about to get 17 new neighbors.
ReplyDeleteWoof .... there goes the neighbourhood!!
ReplyDelete17 dogs is about 12 too many :-(
Donald Trump is a muppet, I might not comment often John but I am going no where either!
