Poodle visits the groomer every 6 weeks - costs a fortune - but she doesn’t shed hairs all over the place. As with most of her breed, she adores being brushed, bathed and generally faffed about with. Our local groomer was happily surprised when, after a thorough shampoo and rinse, Poodle jumped up onto the table for the blow-dry without being asked. Anyway, enough about her and thank you for compliments etc. Morning, by the way. Soo xx ---

Heard while queuing in the post office: “if it’s full sugar it isn’t in the Meal Deal”. Greasy crisps and limp lettuce on dyed-brown bread, fine, but Sugar is Evil apparently, even in this small shop that frankly doesn’t care about my state of health as long as I can waddle to the door. ---

Y’know, I’ve been racking my brain since first seeing yon Poodle - kept thinking she reminded of someone.

I remembered the likeness had been mentioned but thought it unkind to draw attention to poor rambling Janie repeating herself ;- ) So another one for the defective memory bench here. Shall we settle for ‘great minds, etc’? It really is a striking resemblance which, once seen, cannot be unseen. Love the tale of Poodle at the Hairdresser, btw ---

I have just experienced an ocular migraine - self-diagnosis. Quite disturbing, all that shimmering and loss of peripheral vision in the affected eye. I decided, while it was occurring, that I really must have a shower and wash my hair as I couldn’t land up in hospital in a mucky state. Thankfully, all symptoms have gone and I am clean. Soo xx ---
