I just “so happened” to bump into Chic Eleanor in Rhuddlan today .
She had her winter black pashmina on and had take out sandwiches and coffee from The Old Crown at the castle tucked under her arm.
“ Darling John” she called from her car......and my heart lightened
We walked up to Twt Hill ( the site of a Norman Castle Keep) and talked and ate on opposite sides of a long bench. I needed to see her today.
She brightened me
Like a heat lamp
I’m just waiting for a proper office chair and mini filing cabinet to arrive.
Dorothy was unhappy that I was late with her afternoon walk so pissed on the carpet in way of a tantrum
Tonight in the Big Gay Quiz , my fellow competitors, Colin, Zack, Colin , Phil and Mavis came 3rd out of 14 groups .....great fun ...
Good company, a good walk, coffee and food...perfect day.
ReplyDeleteNice desk, sounds like a nice day
ReplyDeleteIs that twat hill or twit hill?
ReplyDeleteTwt
DeleteI'm asking about the pronounciation.
DeleteToot, but with a short oo
DeleteLike foot, in other words?
DeleteCongratulations John and Mavis and your fellows-and doesn't your desk sit there perfectly.It must have been lovely to see Chic Eleanor whilst you were getting some well needed fresh air today-and she looks so svelte too x
ReplyDeleteA sandwiches outside with Eleanor on a beautiful hilltop sounds just perfect. Nice desk. Well positioned opposite the windows and this provides a view and some nice Spring air. Congratulations on 3rd place. You are a good team. Does your team have a name?
ReplyDeleteJust team 13
DeleteLucky for some
sweet desk! lucky you to meetup with a friend IN PERSON!
ReplyDeleteI know , how lucky I am
Delete'like a heat lamp' ❤️
ReplyDeleteVery apt
DeleteIs it really warm enough to have windows open???? I am so envious...
ReplyDeleteNot quite but the coolness reminds you are alive
DeleteI presume that is some flooding that we can see in your top pic. We were much the same up until about a week ago. Water water everywhere!
ReplyDeleteYes, the water course is the River Elwy
DeleteWhat a lovely view you and Chic Eleanor had for your warming and socially distant te'te'.
ReplyDeleteJohn, your new desk looks wonderful and perfectly placed for the breeze and another beautiful view.
Well done to the 3rd place winners!
Hugs!
Stunning photo with Chic Eleanor and I love your chic new desk (and the view). What a special day. Also, I love those windows (they're chic, too).
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteNice desk! And what a great location with the window to look out of!
ReplyDeleteI’m looking on a new build ,at the moment
DeleteWhat a serendipitous meeting! and your desk is in such a lovely place. <3
ReplyDeleteSerendipity ? Nawwwww lol
DeleteLovely desk and lovely view out the window John.
ReplyDeleteI can just see the Gop
DeleteOh, such a perfect day! xx
ReplyDeleteYes.......a recharge day, we all need them
DeleteSounds like it was just what you needed x
ReplyDeleteIt was..a plaster over a sore knee
DeleteYou lucky man - stunning view!
ReplyDeleteI live only a few miles away and I’ve never been before
Delete‘Like a heat lamp’, just perfect.
ReplyDeleteA perfect description
DeleteLovely set-up. I can see you spending a lot of time there.
ReplyDeleteA lovely day for you but not good for Dorothy, a shame her bladder was so full she had no option but to wee on the carpet. Blaming it on a tantrum is ridiculous, there is no way a dog would think "I'll pee on the carpet because my walk is late" she would just be aware that she was uncomfortable and needed to empty her bladder. A house trained dog only urinates indoors if absolutely necessary and then feels guilt. Blaming it on a tantrum is excusing yourself from the blame of not taking her out when she needed to wee, too busy setting up your new desk instead of opening the door into the garden.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, again people presume they know better!!!
DeleteDorothy had access to the garden, she chose to pee on the carpet a thing she will do when angry
You obviously do not know bulldogs very well and their capacity to act like 2 year old toddlers
My thatch goes outside often but then still wees indoors occasionally.My others are house trained-even the one that's been here just over a year-but cheeky thatch is a bit wild x
DeleteSome anonymous cunt obviously knows no better than to criticise without all the facts. As ever they throw an incendiary and hide behind anonymity while watching for the fall out. How about ramming that bomb up your ass and blowing off your mask?
DeleteLanguage mave!!! X

DeleteHow sad Ursula is commenting under “ anonymous “ as well as her own name.....
DeleteThis smacks of sad desperation
I shall remind you and everyone else that you have been asked not to comment on my blog
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteYes, you have asked. And, largely, I have obliged. And I wish I had today.
DeleteI am not ANON. No matter what you say and publish it doesn't alter the fact. Keep deleting, spread falsities. That's what you are good at, Nurse John.
God, I'd hate to be under your care should you take a dislike to the patient.

I will leave this particularly odious comment
DeleteI repeat I find it strange that you appear directly after a similar anonymous comment .
What are we bound to think.
If you didn’t comment as requested no one would think I’ll of you
This is your doing
ill of u

Me thinks that the messages in this subject have been missed a little.
Forgive me, but may I put out a scenario here?
Think of a minor television personality.
They are walking down the street.
Someone walks up with them and because they appear in the media, that person is over familiar and chatty.
The news person finally politely tells the “ stranger” to go away
The stranger does not.
The news person asks the stranger to stop talking to them
The stranger does not.
The news person walks away.
The stranger follows indignant that they can no longer interact.
The news person feels intimidated and not listened to or respected.
The stranger continues to interact
Now if this scenario was observed in public , we all would think; why doesn’t the stranger just go and leave the news person alone?
The intent to continue the interaction just doesn’t make logical sense to me.

Some people lift and inspire..a good day, despite the damp carpet!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to meet up with a friend! Sounds wonderful! I really like the new desk and it fits so perfectly at the window there! Nice to glance outside while you work! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see Eleanor and absorb some of her chic-ness. Bad Dorothy! Bad! (But adorable.)
ReplyDeleteI was cleaning the bathroom once when the cat sauntered in, looked at me and huffed in disappointment at her servants in a manner that would have made Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey jealous and proceeded to walk into the shower and have a pee. As I stood there open mouthed, she proceeded to walk downstairs and a minute later I heard the catflap clatter as she went outside. I nearly wee'd myself laughing. Sounds like Dorothy is taking over Winnie's mantle as the cottage drama queen. xx
ReplyDeleteA saddle stool is what you need, brilliant for your posture, back, neck and relieves tension, what is there not to like? Added to which it’s a damn good ride...
