Brunch


Dorothy and I have gone out for brunch. We have taken Rubber Chicken too as he doesn't get out much.

A large americano at the Horizon cafe in Colwyn Bay is the order of the day.

The barista here makes the most fabulous of coffee..its all in the milk, he explains.

Affable despot Jason's elder daughter is 15 today. I dropped a card in before we left and Hattie picked up mary before that for their 1:1 time. I left her a wrapped christmas decoration in the shape of a terrier.

She a nice girl

Its dry today and not too cold, so the village seems more alive than it did. Animal helper Pat was out walking, as was old Trev who wanted me to change his old fluorescent tube lights for him.

I've been changing them for years

I'm meeting a friend for dinner later

The beach promenade is busy with walkers too....they must be sick of the sound of rubber chicken squeaking

    1. My first symptoms of ALS occurred in 2011, but was diagnosed in 2013. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then i decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Dr Aziba herbal center , It has made a tremendous difference for me WhatsApp DR On( +2348100368288 ). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and ALS, HPV, HSV, HERPES, Virginal Infection All Cures are available with him.

  2. Ha! I wondered if Rubber Chicken squeaked. Yep, that would drive me crazy. But as long as Dorothy is happy nothing else matters. Hope dinner is a pleasure. Dinners out are off for us here. Restaurants have to close at 6, which is the pits when dinner doesn't start until after 9.

  3. Cripes John. If you're annoying the other walkers, I think you should just give the rubber chicken to Dorothy.

  4. Rubber chickens in North America are yellow. Yours looks very pallid by comparison, I must say. Not a criticism, just an observation, LOL!

    What a lovely narrative of a pleasant day! Enjoy meeting a friend for dinner "out", socially distanced, of course.
    Winnie will have something to say if you give the rubber chicken to Dorothy.
    It's Thanksgiving here, so I need to turn my attention to making corn pudding (not a dessert!) and sweet potato casserole.
    I'm thankful that I can pop in here and touch base with you and delightful folks from around the world.

    Hugs!

  13. I'm surprised the squeaker is still working. Fortunately, that is the first thing my dog extracts. Coffee at the cafe and a walk on the beach sounds lovely. Enjoy.

  14. Haha, that's awesome to see. 🤍💗🤍💗

  15. The rubber chicken, like the childhood drum kit, is the most dreaded Christmas present. All that racket until the squeaker is extracted.
    We're going to be in tier 3 from next week. No meals out, coffees or meeting up with friends, how I envy you for that.

  16. I see Rubber Chicken as a character in your forthcoming book. Perhaps they could travel to interact with some of your wittier followers (not me)and return accompanied by photos of their adventures.

  21. I hope Dorothy enjoyed her outing. I imagine she's somewhat mystified by the rubber chicken and wonders whether she should be doing something with it. Chewing it? Dribbling over it? Dragging it somewhere?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Sounds pretty sweet. Enjoy it all.

    I think 'Colin' would appreciate an outing as well. He told me he was a bit miffed at being left behind on the radiator whilst the rest of you went out. I can just see them both in a napsack on your shoulder. BTW Does Chick have a name yet?

    Okay, what is Rubber Chicken made of ? My dog would have a toy like that shredded in minutes. Do your dogs play with it or do you just squeak it at them ? Its a serious question because if that thing really is indestructible then I need one. Deborah

  26. ...but putting it in the fridge?

  28. You know, John, I imagine they walk on with smiles, wondering if you're not sick of the rubber chicken squeaking round your head.

  29. Oh no! I'm now imagining that rubber chicken to appear everywhere. In London, Spain, or even the USA.

  30. At least he still has his squeaker, Dorothy must love her rubber friend. Our Rosy used to remove the squeaker from every toy and leave their shredded carcasses for me to fall over.

I was doing some research online someday when Icame across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhota cure them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thoughtit was a joke but later decided to contact him on the detailsprovided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent mehis herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after twoweeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptomsdisappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you Dr Ebhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep ontelling the world about you. If you are going through samesituation worry no more and contact DR Ebhota viadrebhotasolution@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.he also special on cureing 1. HIV/AIDS2. HERPES 3.
