The books I’m about to read are being stacked against the foot of my new Sofa in readiness of my days off.
I am yet to claim the sofa as my own as yet
Quelle surprise!
I note from the village what’s app site that Trelawnyd’s son poet and author Emyr Humphreys has died at the age of 101 in his Anglesey home.
Humphreys was brought up in Trelawnyd and many characters and situations described in his books were taken directly from his upbringing in the streets I know well
On the recommendation of Pippa in the rectory I have just bought his most famous novel A Toy Epic written in 1958
No doubt that will be placed on the pile for when the sofa finally becomes free!
I’m washed out today
Feel better ... look after yourself x
ReplyDeleteI’m trying
DeleteThey know. I put a new cushion outside and Agatha was the first one to use it.
ReplyDeleteFeel better.
I will deArheart
DeleteIf you are waiting for those two to vacate the sofa all I can says is pigs might fly - you spoil them rotten and they think you bought it solely for them. (didn't you?_)
ReplyDeleteBulldogs are totally selfish beings pat, they demand luxury
DeleteMy goodness, your sofa looks like my bed. When you're at work do you ever just think of how nice it would be to be home snuggling with you fur kids? It gets me through the day sometimes. Take care and enjoy you days off.
ReplyDeleteAll of the time Connie
DeleteAll of the time
Hugs for the tired.
ReplyDeleteI needed that
DeleteHappy reading with no napping!
ReplyDeleteI am actually really looking forward to reading books again
DeleteI’m out of the habit
I see Dorothy sleeps with one eye on you, just to make sure you're still there....
ReplyDeleteEven in bed , she will be awake as soon as I move
DeleteShe lives on her nerves
Looks like another couch, might be in order.;)
ReplyDeleteAt 700£!
DeleteFat chance lol
Did you get rid of the other one already?
DeleteYou really did mean for the animals to have it,didn't you?
I wondered how you'd claim a space on the new sofa when your furry family has first dibs! Perchance you need a large footstool in front of your sitting room chair that would double as a place for you to relax with your feet up and read as well as being a lure for a dog or dogs to be in that place so you could have couch space. Yes?
ReplyDeleteMay Trelawnyd's first son, Emyr, rest in peace.
Enjoy your days off and rest up.
Hugs!
I will only have one day off 😜
DeleteI'm sorry to hear that you're only scheduled for one day off. One day is never, ever enough to get the rest you need. Hope you have several days off together in your near future.
DeleteHugs!
Next week I have three
DeleteWe have two couches. 'our couch' is the animal free one. This might work for you, but you'd need three couches, minimally. Just how big IS that living room?
ReplyDeleteIt’s a cottage! Small
DeleteI have an arm chair which is just mine
Alas...you will have to learn to be comfortable on a large cushion on the floor. :)
DeleteWinnie kicks the two yellow ones onto the floor every few minutes
DeleteAw! She's thinking of you. She is taking good care of her beloved pet. Now curl up and rest quietly like a good pet. They've got a stack of books to read.
DeleteThat sofa is bigger than I first thought if it can accommodate 2 hippos, sorry - Bulldogs, plus a Mary and an Albert. You don't stand a chance unless they all rush off to greet someone at the door. - Rosemary
ReplyDeleteI have had to cover it , which is a shame as the look of it pleases me
DeleteI am seeing 3 dogs on that couch! You need a space just for you and Albert ... cats take up less space!
ReplyDeleteHope the dogs don't gnaw on those books you are looking to read!
Dogs might take more space but I just got evicted from my seat because the three legged black cat, name HuW, decided he wanted to sit there!
DeleteAlbert has been given George’s old bed, I’ve placed it in my bedroom and he adores the peace and quiet
DeleteCats are special that way ... they "allow" you to live with them! 🐈🐱
DeleteDo they have a return policy John...me thinks your going to need a bigger sofa dear.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I am going to put the girls in the kitchen and will start my reading undisturbed
DeleteSure...that will work...not.
DeleteThey look soooo comfy. That's quite a pile of books. Are you a fast reader?
ReplyDeleteYes when I get going
DeleteYou won't even try to get them off...
ReplyDeleteWhy would i ?
DeleteMy family x
Of course
DeleteClaim your space, maybe the comfy chair in the sunny corner of the kitchen, and rest and read.
ReplyDeleteThat chair is winnies but she will share it if I allow her to kick a few cushions
DeleteMy doggy sitting room(and mine)has 2 armchairs a small sofa and 5 doggy beds and a cage for whoever may choose but occasionally I find I'm sitting on a doggy bed because they prefer the furniture-bless the darlings x
ReplyDeleteGod I’m confused
Deletethe puppies look comfortable. pity there is no room for you on the couch.
ReplyDeleteQuelle surprise
DeleteI need to reclaim my couch
DeleteClaim the sofa as your own? I think it has already been claimed! They all look so sweet and comfortable. Take care and get some rest.
ReplyDeleteI’m trying x
Delete£700 is rather a lot for a new dog bed!
ReplyDeleteSigh
DeleteI know
A nice big cushion on the floor you could sit on and lean against the occupied couch would be just the thing. They might even learn to like the cushion and trade places with you! I LOVE that picture! Made my day!♥
ReplyDeleteThe fur kids look very happy on their new couch! Will your room allow for a second couch? That would solve the problem and provide you with your very own couch. My Bernese Mountain dog (Caesar) has his own couch in the living room. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteNow that's a sight for sore eyes...they all look so comfy! Needed to be one cushion bigger for all of you. Never mind, there is always the floor!
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
Your new sofa has really gone to the dawgs already, I see. You need a single seating recliner chair.
ReplyDeleteAww mate one day off is hard. I hate the long weeks.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing what you think of the book.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you bought that sofa for yourself. What were you thinking?
It's a shame there is no room for you on the sofa but the girls look adorable on it.
ReplyDeleteThe winter is for curling up on the sofa. I don't think your sofa will be any clearer by then though.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs look adorable but in the end they probably liked the old sofa as much as the new.
