HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!
I hope everyone has a healthy, safe, and happy week plus a wonderful July!!!
And somebody make it stop raining! I've had 5 inches of rain today. No kidding!
AQ: The term "bogged" or usually "bogged down" is common here in my area. Farmers often use it when they get a tractor or other equipment stuck in a muddy field.
Lindy: I'm so sorry about the trouble with LuLu the dog. Your SiL did the right thing by returning her to the shelter. They should have disclosed that she had a physical issue and that she'd been aggressive. The situation was terrible for all the parties concerned, including LuLu. I hope she will find a dog that will be a good companion for her.
It probably is not appropriate to wish congrats for 4 July this year. I’ve just seen the celebrations (????) on our news. Someone has nothing to boast about. England is relaxing restrictions. Too soon. Too soon. I agree with the Scottish leader.
Victoria is still a worry. Amazingly there it is not compulsory to have a covid test if requested. The spread was helped by the security guarding those in hotel quarantine mingling (!) with guests and allowing them out for exercise and of course they went to fast foods. No wonder the disease is spreading around Melbourne. In our state, guests in isolation are required to stay in hotel room, compulsory tests on day 1 & 12. Two security people found not wearing masks were immediately fired. Could our strict rules explain our good record? Only returning travellers positive in past month. However I have let our tutor know that I shall not be going on any of his bus trips, even though some places I really want to go.
Diane: Ugh. Condolences. Stay away from that lake. Just read that Donald Trump Jr.'s girlfriend and top Trump campaign official has tested positive. Shocker. Yes, fireworks not fun for animals... And right - I know 'bogged down.' My teeny brain couldn't compute it without 'down.'
AQ: How's your lady chauffeur friend these days? Is she up for any outings?
Off to bed.....
I've caught up, I think! ANNETTE - you really couldn't make it up! ( I'm referring to the disastrous and inefficient visit to sort out what I assume to be your internet connections?) I can quite understand why it was necessary. My OH was a pain in the neck when tradesmen were working in the house. He couldn't do it himself but hung around chatting and observing..... LINDY - Poor Sue. To go to what sounds to be a ramshackle concern was a big mistake. I hope that she will take advice this time.... DIBNLIB- I'm glad that your OH enjoyed his birthday meal. It sounded yummy!
