    Staffordshire Bull Terriers voted the number one dog in Britain for 2019 :D
    Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of sharing their life with one of these dogs knows that they are great dogs.
    I thought I had rescued my wee dug but really she rescued me... she's currently asleep... on my side of the bed... AGAIN :D

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!

    This morning, getting ready to go to work gets out to wee betty, my car which is of course covered in frost (-8 this morning brrrr). Opened her up and and gets in starts up engine, puts on lights, heater etc. Grabs the ice scrapper from side door pocket and gets back out closing the door over.
    Scrapes ice off the side windows...
    Scrapping the ice off the front windscreen and I hear a loud tttttSSSSSHhhh from the back...
    Rear window has exploded into rear of car :eek::eek::eek:

    Thankfully, it's covered for replacement by insurance (£50 excess paid).
    Please, nothing else go wrong with the car, pretty please....

    Good day today, hiking in the snowclad hills of the Scottish Borders.

    Going to relax now with a few bottles of muscle relaxant (home brew) and get to bed early.

    Hope everyone has had a grand day
