Misty weather and Misty playing up

Yesterday was one of those days when the sky came down to meet the land and the drizzle kept on drizzling all day. Misty the dog had to be content with some chasing play in the house whilst the housework was being done. Not a day for a walk. Oh dear! No peace in the evening: every toy came out of the toybox and was tossed wildly round the room, and the bold girl, herself threw, caught and jumped right on top of me until I had no option but to join in.

I cannot decide who was being trained to what.

Tranquility

You can never have too much calmness.

A squash

This is one of the doggie visitors from Friday. Meggie seemed to think she ought to be able to fit into Misty’s bed. And she wouldn’t be budged.

Impromptu celebration

A welcome diversion yesterday when friends arrived unexpectedly. They were in the middle of a touring holiday and it simply set me off wanting to be on holiday again myself. I know that retirement is often viewed by others as one long break, but in reality it is not like that. Responsibilities are still a feature of everyday life, whether it is dirty pans to wash or weeds to be pounced on. And as for the paperclog – well, it is beyond belief.

Next week maybe things will be a bit more tamed.

Household hints

This rather worrying household hint was in our local Review paper.

The easiest way go clean your roast tray or dish is to pour some cola drink into the dirty dish and leave it to soak overnight…..

Quite distressing isn’t it?

Celebration

Well how do you celebrate a 43rd wedding anniversary? Especially when the official holiday is over.

Time with friends, time with books, time to walk the dog, time for lovely food, time for a good bottle of wine and time to learn new things on the world wide web.

A good life indeed.

Safely back

Safely back home after our travels. Everywhere we went the good weather went too. Or was it the other way round? Lots of mail, loads of weeds, long grass, cat to collect, chores to sort out…… what was that about a holiday?

Normal service should be resumed shortly!

Sailors’ Tales

The salty sailors are safely home and the animals have been telling them lots of stories. It has been good fun listening to all the sailing tales and it brings back happy memories. However, the advantages of the campervan have much to recommend them. The old bones get more susceptible to the cold and wet.

Off for a few days travel tomorrow. Where we go depends on the weather.
