I was due to catchup with friends in Sheffield today, but I’m still feeling a bit washed out so decided to stay home. My friends understood but it was a bugger as I’d already paid for the hotel.
Hey ho
I caught up with my pals on the phone this afternoon, and made butter bean and chorizo soup, whilst the washing machine scrubbed clean the living room throws and the three stuffed animals that live in a basket in the inglenook fireplace.Now, I’m not one for stuffed toys but these three have a sentimental sort of value. A chameleon with a cheeky grin I bought from Waterstones on a whim. A red lobster ( a gift from Mrs Trellis and a terrier dog bought on my first visit to Nu’s Irish home.
All stank of soot and smoke.
I put all three in for a gentle wash alongside a fat platypus ( who I use as a hearth duster) and thought no more about it.
Only when the machine started to spin did I hear Roger yapping
And when I walked into the kitchen to investigate, I found a worried Welsh terrier sat in front of the washing machine, his eyes fixed on several fleeting glimpses of helpless stuffed animal expressions as they bounced around and around the drum.
Oh, sweet Roger alerting you that his friends might be drowning and were in need of saving!! Bless his sweet, caring heart. He's one of a kind and precious, too.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling lots better and am sorry you had to cancel your trip. That was probably wise.
Hugs!
Love Roger - always looking out for his buddies.

It was an original line
DeleteOh, darling Roger. Maybe he was afraid he'd be in the next wash load!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame you had to cancel your trip, but probably for the best, while you're still feeling a bit off. xx
It’s a relief
DeleteSorry you missed your trip, but oh well.
ReplyDeleteI love Roger sounding the alarm about the friends trapper in the washer. Who's a good boy?
He’s so dim
DeleteOh Roger! He is always good for a giggle, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteHe made my day
DeleteAwww...
ReplyDeleteOh that gave us a fit of the giggles! Thankyou Roger.
ReplyDeleteAll being well, see you after lunch which I will be having Chez Les Manleys
How lovely , I need to see them later tomorrow
DeleteRoger. Bless him. x
ReplyDeleteI think this means Roger is smart! And sweet and loving. How about those heat pumps you were offered, less smoke and soot, warm cottage after working all night etc? Glad you're feeling better today.
ReplyDeleteI’m still waiting
DeleteOur dogs love their toys and if they see them on the clothesline or in the dryer they stand and wait!. Hope you are on the mend
ReplyDeleteI’m ok x
DeleteWhat a sweet boy, watching out for his chums.
