Well paused, Young Sparrer
The Elbows are sharp today…

More power to yer elbowz, Carinthia Dere.
That Poodle has been vetted (drops for yeastly ear infection) and bathed and blow-dried. She is looking (and smelling) good. The happy couple are in Mauritius. OH is presently at the kirk, using his long fluffy duster (oo-er) to dispose of spider webs. He has a vested interest in doing this job, as he particularly dislikes spiders dropping onto his head while he is trying to think peaceful thoughts. He’ll prolly take the vacuum round, too.
That’s about as exciting as it gets, round these here parts. Thank goodness.

I brought back some Speck from our last German trip, then didn’t do anything about it.
It had got to its expiry date, so I fried it with some onions.
Yum.

I ventured to the Chinese supermarket today.
The freezer’s a little more full now.

Hmm. Leaving one’s missus in other people’s food storage units tends to be frowned upon. Not that one gets a free pass, exactly, for using one’s own…
I might, of course, have got entirely the wrong end of this particular chopstick

It must be that time of year! I too have a slightly more full freezer as the result of having visited a Chinese supermarket this afternoon.
Gus, I admire anyone who manages to have both a dog on the premises and a clean pale carpet at the same time. Or indeed a clean pale carpet at all.

Clearly it was a very fast shutter speed to catch the carpet before it turned into a sea of muddy pawprints.

A serendipitous collision of dry weather and bathing, Hedgers. Isn’t she Lovely?

Not necessarily Gus.

Anyhoo. That Poodle requires an Early Night (apparently, though she’ll have to get along with a Famous Five meet on Saturday), so I’ll bid thee all a goodun.

I am in agreement with the Fishy one about pale carpets
Give me a good stone or wood floor and a rug you can give a good beating every year or two
But the poodle looks so happy and my comments about carpets are a measure of my slatternliness

Slightly clearer skies today. I have a small event to organise tomorrow – well, most of the work has been done already. Just a few last things…

I should point out that the sitting room carpet is a much deeper shade of terracotta than the photie suggests. Our other carpets are exactly the same colour that the local mud dries to, as it makes life easier.
It really is a lovely day. OH is busily sweeping and raking up leaves, while the trees continue to shower them down. Another couple of days would have done it, but Worker Bees will do as they see fit. The Poodle and I are enjoying a nice relax.

If the leaves are contained after being raked up then it’s that many fewer to deal with later; but my experience is that the wind blows and the leaves in a heap leave.

Yon Bull has a noo leaf blower
In its box
We have 64 mature deciduous trees
I spent ages weeding the terrace
Sigh…

Leaf blowers do not seem to me to solve the problem, just move it about (and make an 'orrible noise in the process).
Meanwhile, news of That Fish’s ancient rellies: search for “piranhamesodon pinnatomus”.
