Weekly Chat (non-osprey) Sunday, September 12, 2021

Hello everyone, just dropping in to say I wish everyone's health and other issues improve (yes, I know, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride, etc.) Also wishing everyone a fabulous rest of the year, and especially that Clare and Limpy have a glorious trip to Mull with Sea Eagles wherever they look! Can you see how green I am from where you are?!
Saw a link to this and instantly thought of the dog-sitters on this thread (10 minutes or so it says--I have not timed it):

PAT O Glad you are back home safe and sound.

HEATHER Maybe the SSPCA could help if the dog is being neglected..As mentioned before not all carers receive any allowances. My SiL was a carer for OHs Dad. He refused to claim attendants allowance which meant she couldn't claim carers allowance. We tried to persuade him but he was having none of it. Likewise power of attorney.

OG Good luck to J next week

That's hilarious Ann. I often watch the Simons cat films. :-)

Just back from the Shaw Festival in Canada! A pain to get all the COVID paperwork done to get over the bordr, but a breeze to cross over. Probably since Canadians aren't cleared to travel to US yet. Was a good trip, especially for my friend, but I am happy to be back in my own digs!

Hope everyone is recuperating from their bug bites. We did have yellowjackets buzzing around when we had food outside, but just relaxed and let them have a small plate of something we put to the side to get them out of our way! We figured as long as we kept a watchful eye out for them, if we didn't bother them, they would not bother to sting us.

Love the dog, Lindy! A joy to see pets relax!

Annette: Hurray for Gavin Newsom!

And as far as eating, unfortunately I'll eat almost anything that doesn't crawl off my plate first. And I love liver that has been cooked the right way, as well as cod or haddock! So there! I draw the line at eyeballs and insects, though...

Gardenbirder: I loved that video! Wonderful! Nice to see you.

OG - not sure what you mean about the Trossachs but holiday in Scotland was cancelled again and we booked a late coach trip to South Wales..

Hope the Sons in Laws made it ok, I expect they will feel it when its over.

Pat O - pleased to hear hotel is good, hope you enjoy the stay and safe journey onwards to home.

Weather down here has been mostly cloudy with some rain, usually at night, and glimmers of the sun in the daytime.

CC - glad trip to Canada went well despite paperwork re Covid.

Pat O - you should be home by now, hope journey was reasonable and not too many holdups etc.

Gardenbirder:  Cute video!  :-)  I love it when the cat is complaining to the garden gnome.  :-)

CC:  Welcome home. Glad no complications with the border or your friend's Dad.   Hope the plays were enjoyable.  

Washing day again with leftovers from previous wash and a few more item that came to mind like duna cover. After lunch, sky turned dark and I retrieved all just before a brief (& only) shower). Some day I shall catch up with the chatter. . .

Just a thought
