Started early today as I wanted the afternoon off
Hope you are all doing well and the wind is not too bad

No more than usual, except for my hole in me foot!Are you ill ?
Thanks for that!Your ma was half right, mostly alcohol dilutes the effect of antibiotics a bit but with some it'll make you ill!
Congrats an all that!Well, there goes another birthday!
Phil, you aren't up early, you are up the previous night!Morning.
Dark,raining windy. Weather Won’t get any better as I’m off to wales. But the views may improve.
This toy throwing, is it going on inside, outside, or are you standing in the doorway?Dog walk abandoned - drove 8 miles but just couldn't find a way through all the ROAD CLOSED signs due to flooding. The dogs just couldn't understand why they ended up back home without stopping for their walk.
The big 'un is determined to make me pay as 'e keeps bring toy after toy after toy to try to make me play! The wee one just went to eat his chicky wings, looking back at me as if to say - "Over to you, keep 'im busy".
Thinking about it, I bet a part of you was thinking, "Ho ho! Just what my Landy was built for! Time for a bit of fun!"Dog walk abandoned - drove 8 miles but just couldn't find a way through all the ROAD CLOSED signs due to flooding.

I would have driven through the sign if I had been able to assess the state of the flooding but there were at least six little cars who had driven through the 'closed' sign and then stopped realising they could not go through 'cos they couldn't see over the narrow little humped back stone bridge to see if anyone was coming out of the village through the flooding - basically blocking the road!Thinking about it, I bet a part of you was thinking, "Ho ho! Just what my Landy was built for! Time for a bit of fun!"
But then put your wise, big girl pants on and stopped yourself driving round the sign!
Indoors! Fortunately we have very large rooms with plenty of space. As a breed they are not usually interested in chasing a ball, all toys have to have something of interest to challenge their very active brains. The big 'un is brilliant at finding the right toys out of a mountain load, and his favourites are the shake and throw about ones - you know the ones that can cause the most damage! The wee one just cannot get the hang of indoor 'toy' games as his total experience is outdoors being chased.This toy throwing, is it going on inside, outside, or are you standing in the doorway?
We get this with our youngest one. We also have numerous other games,
Tug.
Catch.
Find the squeaky,
Foot (two versions one with slippers on, one without, not being played at the mo for obvious reasons!
And some of the time they play with each other, although this can lead to growling when one pinches another one's chew.
Oh and the old one simply takes toys away and off to the study, where she does nothing with them.
Think we oughter be on tother fred!
do you watch the Dog psychiatrist blokey? The one with the white Range rover? He's good isn't he! Loved the one with the border Collie that started staring into mirrors etc! they are so clever!
Mist is down & burger bars closed.Not a lot of use if you can't see 'em in the dark.
Do the burger bars not open when it's misty?Mist is down & burger bars closed.
I think lack of customers. The police are happily asking people (not local in cars)where they are going. Only happens over the border with funny writing.Do the burger bars not open when it's misty?

I think I may be near you today.,,,,
Another sawmill
Dunno about you, but all the floors of almost all the rooms of our house have toys around. Just sitting here with my foot up I can count 8 and I cannot even see around the furniture.Indoors!

Outdoor play counts me out - it's over to them!!
Seeing a dog using its brain to work something out is a joy to see.Dunno about you, but all the floors of almost all the rooms of our house have toys around. Just sitting here with my foot up I can count 8 and I cannot even see around the furniture.
As fast as we clear them up they take them out of the box.
And the variety is massive. They are so soft mouthed many last for donkeys years. And Pat will mend them if she is sufficiently attached to them, or they are one of their "favourites" (which means all of them nearly, in essence!)
she will also buy them new ones for special occasions like Christmas or going away on holiday, the one time we do each year. (They have a similar pile in France.)
Wish ours were clever enough, like that Border Collie on the TV, to be able to differentiate between how many is it? hundreds, if not a thousand or so toys!
As soon as a replacement was found for me I actually did nothing at all other than show the new guy what he needed to do, so no, I wasn't run ragged during my final month once he started.@Shimsteriom did you get run ragged in your last few days? I am getting a bit fed up with it I was supposed to have the afternoon off but it has been call after call
Thats the rub, it may be too good an offer to turn down in the current situation as selling the house may prove difficult for a couple of months!As soon as a replacement was found for me I actually did nothing at all other than show the new guy what he needed to do, so no, I wasn't run ragged during my final month once he started.
Unless you intend offering your services to them after you leave, I can highly recommend changing your mobile number if possible.
