Gin & Hats

I got home after my 12.5 hour day shift late.
I collected the dogs , fed them and Albert and just had time to sit down at 9 pm before our zoom meeting was booked.
It was Ben’s last night in the UK so Ruth had sorted out an online meet, all together 
We both poured ourselves a large gin and we wore our matching Beanie hats in solidarity 
And Ben gave his apologies as he was super stressed and tired and …..so ….didn’t turn up
We were gutted
But the meeting continued …..with the both of us laughing hysterically over the fact we were spinsters of the parish, we had just been stood up and we were wearing matching hats.

I haven’t laughed like that for months

  4. Me and a friend were laughing to ourselves when we realised we were both carrying our small dogs up the hill alongside a road to the farm like they were little babies and I was wearing my wig x

  5. Glad you made the most of the "Zoom" link up even though Ben dipped out. Your picture reminds me of a certain character in "Crossroads" long ago.

    So glad laughter replaced the disappointment because Ben was too tired to participate.
    Love the beanie hats! You and Ruth are well prepared for the coming cold weather.
