    Hi all, I'm back, finally. We had a lovely week in Brugge; there was free wifi at the hotel, but it was so slow I'd have been better off using carrier snails, so didn't even try logging onto MSE; and Mr LW had the remainder of last week off, so we've been doing "stuff" that didn't involve the internet. :o
    Useful stuff! Get your minds out of the gutter!:D

    Bossy I'm not sure I can meet my June challenge;:(I'm hard put to find 5 Toots list items or Frogs that can be safely undertaken whilst caring for two nosy, lively, 5-year-old small canines who are new guests to us; they're here til 5th July.:o

    Meanwhile, we're all up to scratch with the holiday washing; gifts and souvenirs have been suitably homed; and I've given the whole bungalow a post-holiday once-over.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
