The rain was torrential.
And rather threatening.
Dorothy loves walking, so ignores the weather.
Mary hates wet conditions so shivering pitiably, refused to walk a step further.
We hurried home and Dorothy only stopped sulking that her walk was cut short after she found a errant Swedish meatball under the fridge freezer
Off to see James Bond later
This afternoon I’m lagging the thermal store tank
I’m one crazy bitch
Clearly a few more errant Swedish meatballs might keep Dorothy's spirits up!
ReplyDeleteAnd mine too
DeleteHow old was that meatball? I hope that Dorothy doesn't get a bad dose of IKEA. (Involuntary Kinetic Explosion from Arsehole)
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn’t be old, it would have been located much earlier
DeleteYP, you made me laugh!
DeleteYour post title reminded me of the Alan Bennet monologue, with Thora Hird - "A cream cracker under the settee." Maybe you could offer the idea to Alan? xx
ReplyDeleteI believe Mr Bennett is interested in a different kind of meaty ball 😁
DeleteFLIS ! He’s at it again
DeleteJuicy meat balls Dripping in oil xx(oops sorry I'm a vege)x
DeleteSaw Bond last week....not usually my kind of film but a friend took me for a birthday treat..it was very enjoyable in a sort of 'no story/lots of action/bit of Sunday afternoon nonsense' way. x
ReplyDeleteYes , I know what you mean but I’m a loyal Bond fan
DeleteI think I need a translation...what does "I’m lagging the thermal store tank" mean? :)
ReplyDeletePutting insulating around the hot water tank
DeleteEllen D: I actually had to google the expression myself!
DeleteI found a pea under the table ... but none of the dogs were interested, God knows how long it had been there!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ellen, for asking the question about what was being done to that tank and thank you, John, for the explanation.
ReplyDeleteThe heavens have opened here, too, and I'm sitting in a puddle of lamplight with a book and a mug of coffee. Bliss.
Enjoy Mr. Bond and the rest of your day off!
Hugs!
Torrential rain is no fun. Dorothy surprises me again, liking the rain seems unusual. It's cold, cloudy and damp here too after a 3-day northeaster with rain and high winds. Warm cloths and waterproof jackets are the order of the day. Enjoy Bond.
ReplyDelete"Lagging the thermal store tank"? I'm not even sure what that means. I did hear that Wales got a heck of a lot of rain, though.
ReplyDeleteOh, I saw your "translation" for Ellen. Now I got it!
DeleteAnd I'm laughing at YP's IKEA!
Elsie doesn't like the rain. I say that Welshies are earth dogs not water dogs.
ReplyDeleteGive James my love. x
Thanks for the translation for Ellen... and the comment from Steve that sent me to it. Dorothy is a great housekeeper. Who knows how long that meatball might have remained otherwise?
ReplyDeleteAll that rain will keep the hills so green, enjoy the day. Thanks for the translations
ReplyDeleteFood keeps slopping down the side of the cooker into a space that I try to ignore-My dogs will walk in the rain but now its rainy here they don't want to play or dig outside-they know it's raining without looking-I need help cleaning this pigsty before the chimney sweep visits next week-my Queenie always helped me around the house-but he may refuse to enter and I need to light the fire soon-there is small woodshed recently erected and waiting x
ReplyDeleteWhat treasure Dorothy found 🤗
ReplyDeleteWell done Dorothy I say.
ReplyDeleteLol x
DeleteThermal store tank is even a mystery to me.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a hot water tank that’s heated and reheated by my fire
Delete“This afternoon I’m lagging the thermal store tank.” I understand every one of those words, but I had no idea what you’re talking about! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. A sad week in our family, the gorgeous, loving, 12 yr old Goldie had to be put down, after a dramatic decline in her health. I only mention it because my son and DIL, whose dog she was, reported an incredible mess under the dining room table! Their vacuum cleaner wasn’t there!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Bond romp.
I love confusing everyone x
DeleteI adore your headings this one is one of the best !
ReplyDeleteYorkshire Pudding comment is wonderful.
Lol I was going for Alan Bennet
DeleteJohn if there was a prize for the best titles you would have won it ten times over!
ReplyDeleteYes this title caught my eye and I haven't even read your previous post yet could be a chapter in your book.
ReplyDeleteI really like the blog and I hope people will have a new blog, thanks for the blog

No idea why but when clicking on the comment for the previous post it won't let me access the comment's section. It doesn't "highlight" the comments access. Never happened to me before and I am not sure it is something you can help but thought you should know... as I love to read your comments section.
