I had bought birthday presents for a friend and a great niece and a return gift for John ( the snogee from Sitges) and some Halloween horror shit for my nephew Leo and so I spent a merry hour or so eating soup and writing envelopes and cards
The waitress brought me over a free flat white , I think for being so nice to the chef
And I photographed the soup stains on my front ....just because I could
Everything frightens her still, especially loud noises and traffic , and so we invested over half an hour sat on the village green with her face hidden under my armpit .
By the end of that time she was able to look out at the farm tractors without shaking....after this we walked around the Chapel on London Road which has just been sold. I hope that it's converted into a family home and not left derelict. We only have one working chapel left now....and that's located next door to Jason the affable despot..
Tonight a friend and I went to see a so-so production of The Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
In Chester...we had a better time in the Storyhouse bar than we did in the theatre....
That's how it goes sometimes!
What would be a free "flat white?" It's good to let the chef know you enjoyed his soup!
ReplyDeleteDotty will grow in confidence and know your armpit is a safe haven for her! ☺
A coffee?

DeleteIt is always nice to give credit where credit is due (i.e. the chef). Too many people are ready to criticise but less prepared to say positive words of praise.
ReplyDeleteYP you are so right
DeleteIn my recent peformance review i gave the senior staff my appraisal too
Was your appraisal of the others good or bad or a mix? I hope they said nice things about you despite your comfy non reg sneakers!
Delete"Come in Nurse Gray! No need to look so worried. There are one or two negatives we need to discuss first. Let me see. Oh yes, let's kick off with the excessive flatulence..."
DeleteI am glad that you complimented the chef. I suspect you made his day.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is it about armpits? Jazz buried his face in mine each time we went to the vet recently.
Safe and warm
ReplyDeleteI would think a good,honestly great, time in the local pub would always beat a so-so performance in th3 local theatre. But we have no local theater, so how can I opine? I am living in a land of no song, theater or drama. Just middle United States where not a lot of culture happens,
ReplyDeleteGotta do both xx
DeleteWell that's it...I'm going to make some French onion soup tomorrow from our just harvested garden onions. And I'm sure there will be tears involved as I peel all those litter suckers. Sweet Dorothy, she's getting there, as is my wee Dottie Dog. It takes time. X
ReplyDeleteIt WAS BLOODY LOVELY
DeleteThat sounds like a pretty perfect day, I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteWhen it gets cold here I must get out my mom's french onion soup recipe, that was delicious---she'd serve it with a slice of homemade french baguette and melted cheese.
Do you know anything about Dorothy's history? Is she fearful just because she was rejected and rehomed or is there more to her story, poor baby?
lizzy
I cant say much about her history
ReplyDeleteFrench onion soup is one of my favourites. Positive feedback never ever goes astray, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference between a chapel and a church?
Poor Dorothy. It will be rewarding for you to see her overcome her fears and live a wider life.
My son still has fond memories of the French onion soup I made for him every Friday night to come home to after swimming lessons. He was a mere broth of a boy then.
ReplyDeleteEllie our new rescue dog is still very fearful of just about everything. Having had a rescue collie before I thought it would be a breeze, how wrong was I?

I would happily convert most old agricultural buildings into a home, but never a disused chapel. They always seem grim to me, and planning permission always insists that the grimness remains.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone lovely renovates the old chapel. Properly made French onion soup must have been divine.
ReplyDeleteWho knows what scary things little Dottie had to endure in her early months, which are now burrowed deep into her psyche and which will need patience to overcome. But it's clear that with you she'll be in the best possible hands to get her to face life with assurance.
ReplyDeleteLots of calming walks, and you will both be fine.

Oh for Gods sake give it a rest... what BS
DeleteIt's obvious the chef doesn't get praise often (a common problem). Doesn't it feel good to know how much better you made his day? Poor Dorothy; she's so lucky to have you now.
ReplyDeleteI find it to be really satisfying to give a genuine compliment to someone. It just doesn't happen often that people hear good things about themselves so I think we all benefit from the giving of compliments just as much as the receiving. You definitely know what you are doing with Dorothy, exposing her slowly to those things she fears.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, there's nothing like a really GOOD bowl of French Onion soup!
ReplyDeleteMy darling lily snuggles up to me tightly at home but embarrassingly when out she rushes up to men and puts her head between their legs and rubs her face.I apologetically say "sorry" and smile x
ReplyDeleteLike the fact that the coffee and the water are both served in the same style glass!
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
