Hows your doggy these days?, 

Kia is well, thanks Summer, spoilt of course! She is such a wimp, we had a tiny fly the other day in the house and she ran and hid in the loo! Thats staffies for you, they are vicious 

Lol never! aw bless her, it's moments like that that have me creased up! 

Yes those staffies, so vicious aren't they

Would hate to have a burglar, she would lick them to death!

Off to my bed now, sweet dreams  

Sweet dreams skylark & co. hope you all sleep well, including Eddie

Thank you Velvet

Good morning everyone

 

Dry here today which is just as well as it's St Swithin's Day

 

Skylark, maybe one of the ds in Eddie could be omitted, then you would get Edie (short for Edith) 

 

The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams was the Archbishop of Wales before he moved to Canterbury. The present Archbishop of Wales is Barry Morgan. Barry Morgan is a close friend of the man who used to be the vicar at our church until he retired. As a result Barry Morgan did come to our church several times over the years so at least I have met an Archbishop.

 

Good morning everyone, I am looking forward to some sunshine this afternoon before the rain begins again.

 

Isn't it sad that staffies have such a bad reputation when they are such loving dogs?  It's the owners of some dogs that want to look 'hard' and train them to fight each other. Morons!

Good morning it's a lovely sunny day here, this mornings walk with bramble was lovely. We bumped into a neighbour dog, a big bullmastiff, so we let the dogs loose & they had a great time playing (bramble is not scared of big dogs) although the chap is fine to talk to, we've long suspected he doesn't clean up after his dog. This was confirmed earlier when the dog did its business and he pretended to have forgotten his bags because they were in his other coat- I've only ever seen him wearing the one coat I had several in my pocket (can never have enough IMO) so I gave him some bags and he had to pick up the mess, twice

Hope everyone is having a lovely afternoon, I've been feeling under the weather so have been snoozing, lucky for me miss bramble likes to join in and mr summer is cooking up steak El I'm pleased you've met at least one archbishop Squiggle what breed was your dog?

Summer, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling under the weather

 

I think anyone who trains their dog to fight other dogs (which of course is illegal and has been for many many years) should be banned from keeping any animals for life besides receiving a prison sentence.

 

Baptisms at church this morning. Lots of people there for the 3 people being baptised. One was a baby, one was a young girl around 5 or 6, and one was an adult probably the girl's mother. As the girl and the mother could speak for themselves they were asked by the vicar "Do you wish to be baptised?". Firstly the mother replied with the correct words "I do". Then the young girl was asked and she replied "Lots and lots"

That's very cute, the young girl's response, and a good answer I would have said.

 

So sorry to hear you are feeling under the weather Summer, take it easy and hope you feel better soon.  Our dog was an American Beagle.

Good afternoon all. Weather has been cloudy with little burst of sunshine. Quite breezy too.

 El, I love when children come out with something totally unscripted, like "lots and lots".

Summer, well done for giving the bags to the dog owner. Hope you are feeling a bit better.

Keira never "goes" when she is on lead, so I don't really need to carry bags, but I still keep bags in my pockets - just in case!

Poor Kia being afraid of the fly. Reminded me of the day my youngest (then aged three) started screaming in the bathroom, because there was a bluebottle in there. He's much braver now.

Squiggle, you are so right about staffies, they are lovely dogs but the breed has been hijacked by idiots and now gets a bad rep.

Yogi I seem to remember that you also liked Gordon MacRae so I thought I would post this for us to remember him

 

And this one too - enjoy!

 

Squiggle, I liked both those clips, particularly the second one with father and daughter singing which is really charming. Thank you

I'm glad you liked them EL, Gordon had the finest baritone I have ever heard, or will ever hear I am sure.  Such a beautiful tender voice, strong but sweet.

Squiggle, you remembered correctly, I'm a big fan of Gordon MacRae and Doris Day films. I loved the clips, especially the one with his daughter, thank you for posting them.

Summer, hope you are feeling better tonight.

Goodnight everyone, see you tomorrow.

Nite Yogi  

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy and a bit damp here today. The forecasters were saying something about possibly being a bit more like summer ahead but then went on to say rain during this week so

 

Summer, I hope you are feeling better this morning

 

Good morning everyone. Weather is overcast, with rain forecast for the afternoon. I've checked the forecast for the next week and Saturday is the only day which is expected to be rain/shower free.

Summer, I hope you are on the mend.

Lots of rain again, and more expected all week.  Still a bit on the chilly side too.

 

Summer hope you are feeling much brighter today, this weather is not doing anyone any favours, a friend of mine has just gone down with a chest infection, we should be experiencing some bright dry weather and some sun to fill us full of Vitamin D instead all we get is rain.

Morning everyone 

Overcast here too, finding this weather a bit depressing now. 
Hope you are feeling better this morning Summer 

 

Good almost noon everyone thank you, yes I am feeling better than I did yesterday, the lazy day seems to have really helped I can't believe how much I slept! Luckily for me, Monday's are usually just steady instead of heaving. It started out very sunny here but by 8am it had clouded over and it's now raining, again What are everyone's plans this week?

Squiggle, I googled pics of american beagles, they are stunning!

I dare you to not laugh at this funny face..

Hi Summer, what a fab photo  Glad you are feeling better No great plans for the week, although i may pop over to Paris for lunch on Wednesday, see how i feel. If only 

Taking the private jet or the helicopter skylark?

Have you & the little one seen a film called Ratatouille? Its about a rat in Paris who wants to be a chef.. I adore it

Private jet of course 

See you later, got to go get some fresh milk and stuff 

edit..yes Summer, have seen it  x

Summer, I'm glad you are feeling better today and I like your photo of funny face

 

Skylark, while you are in Paris on Wednesday, could you pop in at the Louvre and bring back the Mona Lisa for me as a souvenir

 

I've seen Ratatouille as well and thoroughly enjoyed it. Peter O'Toole voices Anton Ego the food critic and is great. Sad to hear that he has announced he is retiring from stage and screen.

Mona Lisa , El? No problem, i shall just stick it under my arm on the way out 


Peter O' Toole must be getting on a bit, hope he enjoys his retirement

Thanks, Skylark

 

Peter O'Toole is 80 next month. He's going to write another volume of his autobiography.

Oh he did a wonderful job on the food critic's voice over, he was a great character! Skylark could you bring me back a pencil from the Eiffel tower please? I collect souvenir pencils

Clip from the classic Ealing comedy The Lavender Hill Mob. Crooks have stolen gold bars, melted them down and made model Eiffel Towers out of the gold. Unfortunately for them the wrong crate with these were sent to Paris in place of the ordinary models, so the crooks go over to Paris to recover them.

 

Very funny clip, but if you suffer very badly from vertigo this might make you a bit giddy.

 

 

Lol El Thank goodness I didn't watch that straight after lunch! I had to chuckle at the old special effects
