Happy New Week.
Big yawn from Bowie
ALAN - he is still so cute!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Morning all: Quick look in.
OG: Oh yuk indeed. Eeeeeuw....
Lindybird: Re tweedy sofa, there's always slipcovers (maybe persuade Mad Spaniel do enough damage to the fabric to warrant such an outlay?) :-)) Just a thought....
Wendyb: Hallo there.
Alan: Hope it's not our chat about sofas or spaniels that's making Bowie yawn. He's a lovely bundle. When I was a little girl I used to walk an elderly neighbor's Cairn Terrier - such a sweetie (the neighbor and the dog).
We're now getting quotes from housepainters, since this really is the year to do it. At some point we're also going to need a roof redo too and we're thinking of installing solar panels - there's some kind of a discount/rebate if you do it in association with a reroof. We're also passing on our Toyota with power driver's seat to daughter who has such trouble with her back and neck. The power seat option makes a big difference for her - and the car is higher than her old one - so we're looking around for another vehicle for us. - I'm thinking a small used SUV since we may sell our lovely old 73 Ford. It's a real bear to drive, but we've officially resigned from being the family movers and it's just sitting there. Looks like an expensive summer!!
Feeling normal again so have some delayed errands scheduled for the next two days. Hope everyone else is doing well.
Awwwww! How lovely to see Bowie - he's looking gorgeous!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
I have got to say how proud I am of our teenager. She went shopping in Tesco with Limpy and checked their till receipt (as I do whenever I shop) - she found a mistake and Tesco refunded them! That's one habit of mine I really hope she keeps.
Alan Bowie is as gorgeous as ever.
"A chip off the old block" Clare!! Well Done, Helen!
