Bored



 All or nothing. 
I’m a bit bored today 
Typical. 
I took the dogs to the beach and uncharacteristically Dorothy waded up to her nipples in the surf before running for home with her eyes like saucers 
I bought halloumi fries from Aldi for tea with homemade curried soup
They always remind me of the Balcony Bar ar the Sydney Opera House
It’s wet and there’s nothing on in the cinema that I want to see
I’ve only spoken to a nice looking man on the beach who asked me how Dorothy’s puppies were getting on.

    1. Dorothy was a rescue bulldog, she had puppies at an early age . They would have taken from her and reared by hand

      Unless you have proof of that then not necessarily taken from her and reared by hand. Breeding bitches would feed their own puppies, hence the 'dropped' nipples.

    3. Most breeders of expensive bulldogs hand rear their puppies. The rescue staff told me that when she arrived

      But Dorothy obviously fed her puppies herself, as you've already said she has 'dropped' nipples.
      No drama there.

  5. Has Dorothy ever had puppies? Maybe it was just a random question so he could talk to you. Always a strange time of year, betwixtmas. I'm currently watching New Nurses
    (Sygeplejeskolen) a Danish drama series on My 4. It's about a trial to teach men to be nurses. I think you might like it. xx

    3. Dorothy was a rescue bulldog who may have had two littlest of puppies before she came to me . I suspect she was bread from very early. And her nipples were dropped as if she was a brooding bitch

  6. Puppies? Where did that come from? I would have asked, "Do you want one?" Mary is asking for whatever is in that bowl.

  7. People always think Olga has recently had puppies, too. Those bulldog nipples!

    It's wet and blowing here like crazy. I've been inside literally all day.

    Oh, those sweet faces hoping you'll shareQ
    I agree, perhaps the man on the beach was trying to chat you up and missed the boat?
    Bored? I recommend music and a good book (or nap).

    Hugs!

    I wasn’t bored today I went to the dentist to get my bridge cemented back in. So glad she could do it. Never heard you mention that Dorothy had previously had pups. You surprise me every day. Gigi

  16. I wonder how many puppies Dorothy had before you got her. Perhaps she is a grandma now - or maybe a great grandma - or a great great grandma or...

  17. Being an ex-racer, my millys pups are all on record. I often wonder if she misses them.
    The soup sounds perfect, I'm going to make it some time

    Two days in the recliner recovering from all the excitement. Read that shopping, wrapping, traveling, cooking, cleaning, baking etc! I have watched two movies and read a book. Nothing heavy! Two old movies I liked….The Big Easy with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin and Murphys Romance with Sally Field and James Garner. Relaxed and recovered! Kathy near Chicago

  20. I'm never keen on this bit between Christmas and New Year .... I just want to get back to normal now. BUT .... it won't be too long before Spring is here and we see those fresh, bright green shoots coming through. There's always a plus to be found. XXXX
