A NEW BREED OF DOG

A previously unknown type of dog has been added to the new breeds register. The Dormant Camouflage Hound was discovered accidentally when Mr R. Grundlebottom was taking a photograph of the state of the pavements in his home town of Twitching Curtain in rural Wessex. He couldn’t [...]

THINK BIG!

I’ve built the mountain and now I’ve almost finished constructing the babbling brook that cascades down its’ craggy sides, flows across the pampas and gently drops into the lake [which I dug out by hand] that the goldfish call home.

This is a photo of one of our neighbours enjoying the fruits of my labour.
Her name [...]

WHAT A RELIEF

The seat is lifted
My position shifted
My mind not drifted
Ahhhhhhhhh ……
Put it away
Hip hip hooray
Oh no, halfway
Bahhhhhhhh!

(A little more concentration would help. Lo,TGEd)

SHOPPING

Honestly some people are so unobservant and thoughtless.
I was trying to get to the parsnips in the supermarket the other day and there was some old woman in my way. She seemed to be having trouble differentiating between the parsnips and the carrots and was picking them up and smelling them ….. disgusting. She had [...]

A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Lo, she is a terrible Goddess expressed an interest in eating out. I racked my brains, a short and very unsatisfactory process. (- – – – – – . Avid Readers are jnvited to fill in the gaps Lo,TG Ed) I didn’t fancy The Imodium, and I’d driven by Offa’s Dyke the day before and [...]

SURFUGAL ….. HERE WE COME

We ain’t going by Jumbo …

…. and we ain’t flying low …..

We’re travelling in the conventional way …..

……. using a flying bedstead …….. [shove over darling]
(Typical – I have to put up with your snoring even on the way to Surfugal. Lo,TG Ed)
We’ll try and keep safe and I expect the same from you!
Laters ………

THE DOG WATCH

I apologise for the following images that some of you might find a tad upsetting.
I came across an old photo album that belonged to my Mum and was reminded of the first dog I knew, Duchy.

Duchy died peacefully one day, crossing the hall.
She was replaced a little while later by Tessa: she was the dog [...]

I’VE GOT A COLD ….

….. so to cheer myself up I thought I’d have a look at some piccies from our last stay in Surfugal.

These olive pots are HUGE …. over 6 feet tall. They were on display outside a shop selling ceramics.

This life sized goddess was across the yard from her gentleman friend.

He wanted to show me his [...]

GOING TO THE DOGS

I’m not bald yet. If I do start to resemble a billiard ball I’m going to have to consider getting a ‘syrup’ [Cockney rhyming slang ‘ syrup of figs – wig].

I might go for the ‘poodle’ look ……….
(I can’t make up my mind. Is that revolting, or amazing? Or both? Lo,TG Ed)

BOXER DAY

I went to see a friend the other day. The family have an 8 month old boxer dog. Wikipedia says, amongst other things, “As puppies, Boxers demonstrate a fascinating combination of worrisome expressions, energetic curiosity, flexible attention spans and charming characteristics.” If you define ‘flexible attention span’ as the behaviour of a 5 year old [...]
