Morning all
Packing for our weekend playing at rally car counting
A big event with ambitions to be rated for the European championship so we are packing for 4 seasons daily for 3 nights away as well as extra computers my add on screen to my lapdog knitting and variously assorted cables plugboards drugs extra drugs and cardigans coats and hats
The poor car will be loaded to the gunwales and I end up being packed while stuff is packed around me
And it’s raining!
Safe journeys, Twellsy. I hope that the weekend will be fun!

It always is fun wee bee
Hence my pendant with freedom in pre Gaelic Ogham script in memory of my mother
It has 3 tiny diamonds to represent the lakes of Killarney
All sorts of freedom tied up in one small piece of gold
Wish me luck with W who keeps buying me beer
Such a trial that friend is to me
She says the same of me buying her Chardonnay!
We have jobs which involve liaising with folk so we like to be seen and put our office just outside both bar and rally office as results room is hidden away behind the stage of the exhibition centre which has Irish prancing competitions on this weekend so I can escape to watch them for a few minutes when the computer screen gets to be a bit much!
Poor tired Poodle - is she saving her energy for a bracing hike?
Still gorgeous even when sleeping
I think that she is enjoying a bit of peace, after sharing her den with the grizzling infant. She’s had her morning constitutional then it’ll be lunch at twelve, longer walk at two, tea at five and another walk at nine. I’m really glad to have her with us as the benefits are universal, I feel.

She is just so gorgeous, Soo.
Do you never consider getting one of your own?
Thanks, TFM. We make do with Poodle contact and, perhaps, have too much on our plate to consider more responsibility. Also - there’s the whole end-of-wotsit business, which I’d find very hard.

I can understand that and in fact I feel much the same myself. We always had at least one dog until the last one died 4 years ago and I desperately miss having one around in many ways but still, no.
No…I can’t face the thought of the end bit - I have been there for cats and our dog and can’t face it again.
Anyhoo - do you have anything planned for the weekend? Ours (as I have indicated) is pretty much mapped out 
Soo xx
Absolutely nothing planned here. Waiting for news of the AB, who is still in hospital (since Jan this time I think, I’ve lost track) and who is finally scheduled to have an op to fix his throat today - only 7 months after the last op buggered it.
I find the death of a much loved pet very difficult but I also find the love and joy they give outweighs the pain of loss
We are all different thank the deities of choice
I have a question for learned folks here
How do I get fenugreek powder smell off my hands?
I was putting a packet into a jar yesterday and needless to say spilt some on my hands
I am doing a Lady M on my hands and still they pong!
An internet search suggests rubbing olive oil into your hands for a good few minutes, then washing it off.
Paste of bicarb may work.
Tyrian Purple has been found in the UK!
Poor bluddy snails, mind.

Looking gorgeous, Carinthia. You know fine well, however, that having your hair cut is a sure-fire way of setting off the rain. As is putting the washing out, walking the Dog, having a ‘R’ in the month etc.
Horses have returned to the Livery Stable paddocks (which have finally dried out). Three foals! Lovely to see.
Soo xx
Foals are adorable all legs and gorgeous eyelashes and soft warm velvet noses and lips when they nuzzle your hand
I do love equines
Gawds we are on the bottom floor and beside the car park
The yoof who like to give the sport a bad name by driving round and revving engines and noisy exhausts and squealing tyres etc are parked in said car park
Well they have just departed to cause mayhem around the town
They will return at silly o’clock
Some folks start working in the field at silly o’clock plus a whole hour having not sorted every person and every single piece of equipment out for the actual licensed sport and possibly got to bed at silly o’clock minus half an hour
Half an hour’s rest is not enough for most normal people
The poseurs will possibly get up at about three pm ready for another night of nuisance
Grrrr
Looking good as ever dear Chatelaine
The good news is that the food in the bistro restaurant here (one of three) is as good as ever
Proper French onion soup and luscious cheese dishes were my supper
