May I offer a humble suggestion? Trust Frith.

This is Critical!
Roger on Tour at Grand Central!
Friths, the link you need is -
I'd prefer if you got local Dogs Protection and not the RSPCA
BoP does not support the RSPCA charity. We once had three cats and two lodgers and has a visitation from their gestapo department about their sleeping in a box on the porch. He officiated that the box was not correct, so I showed him the shed, with basket in it, and their other basket. But they all heap into the crisp box! He watched as they all piled into the box, and got on with it! He left will tail down! Don't give them money!Not again, so what?
Done the donation online for the Haig Fund! Very easy too do, so you can link here.

Check you FarceBuck out as some Vets are using links on that to collect locally. I recommend £20. Hence pictures of Roger on tour! He came from the RAFBF.
Watched the Mariners last night on the stream thing. Kitty is slowly getting her paws inn too this, after her struggle with LieSter! Pizza and wobbleades were consumed. Cheese was also aten.
Not connected to the Docks today, so just leaned up the Studio. Big weak coming up!
Now on mes elevenses, mug of tea, with chocklate crumble biscuit. Then usual lunch bites!
Bit short this day, butt I will sort out another flix for later!I think theres bee a pattern forming!

DfV I do trust Frith ,but I just can’t stop thinking about the dog ,
Bop tend to agree re the RSPCA ,but Dos Trust etc not as widespread and not the same clout
sorry Frith wasn’t getting at you was a knee jerk reaction14 -
Hello. Busy busy day! And still more busy to do tonight.Nice doggy walk . We luckily got it dry as most of the day has been wet.Met our new puppy friend. They said hello and Mr Dog was alright. ( he’s not always)
Quick chat to DD1, she’s going to stay in UK till Easter instead of January so that pleased me...though she’ll not be here but at least in the same time zone!
Work. Prepping for Halloween cakes we are selling, then down to work, which was crazy. So busy. Two hours became four and a half. Stayed on to do some display work of new stock that came in.Tea...pie and beans yummy! And very quick to cook which is what was needed!Heading back out soon to do more cake prep.Decent tips. And I counted all the jars ! A sizeable amount to be taken to the bank at some time soon as I need to pay decorator and pay for new boots!Just going to do a soggy doggy walk before I go out.13 -
BOP, to right about the animal charity can't even bring myself to write their intials.
1 Up early to beat the weather and took the old fence panels out that part fell apart in the process and somehow managed to get the new ones in place looking a lot smarter. Then I crowbarred them all apart, while DH sawed them into pieces they are now in 3 bags waiting for me to make a tip appointment. I thought the birds would take Umbridge to the new fence but they couldn’t have cared less, they were straight back.
2 DH got up on the back wall and lopped the wasteland tree branches back that were in the way of the camera, I fretted from the ground, but it looks good now it’s done.
3 Various washing loads achieved hanging around the house, towels, duvet, covers, a pleasure to be up to date I think.
4 Faggots with tomatoes, veg and mini (aunt besssie) cheat roasties is dinner. Cough there may have been an Aldee mince pie crumble as a snack.
5 At home in the warm.

Someone will be glad of your fence panels, now firewood. You must have a FreeAds or secure local listing site :-)
Save your petrol, too :-)

Made yummy roast potatoes (rtc), a wonderful tomato, avocado, red onion salad and finished off the chilli. Very nice.
Am getting into the habit of walking Tiggy early. Love the quiet. So does she. Having said that she jumped a mile at a loud bang and almost stopped my heart in the process. I must stop dreaming when I'm walking.
Heard something in the background about trees and the reason that was given for all the glorious colours we are seeing is because the trees are HAPPY. They've had a lovely hot summer and enough water so it makes them happy. The very idea delights and thrills my soul.

Ampersand, we have 3 bags of broken up fence wood I took the nails out of for the chimera, the rest sadly is sodden and rotten, it's stashed in the greenhouse for now to see if it will dry out at all.

For some reason my laptop has suddenly stopped doing "Thanks", but I have read recent messages!
Pleasures for today (Wednesday)
1) Not a bad sleep.
2) Hens had roast veg and some apple sauce cake plus layer's pellets. Cat had tuna (no money until Friday, and she probably likes a change).
3) Tidied and swept up outside, changed my bed, did 2 lots of washing, tidied, hoovered, steamed etc. Made a bit of a Hallowe'en windowsill (more autumnal than Hallowe'en really).
4) Bigger son went to his father's to mend his car a bit (rain drips in by the pedals).
5) Quotation came from the company about getting central heating (I have never lived in a house with central heating and, by extension, neither have sons!) I have now put the quotation and the company details in my application for the Green Grant. They have quoted for 7 radiators, which seems a bit excessive. We only have 5 rooms and have never needed any heat upstairs!
6) Sold 3 x half dozen eggs by the roadside which will more than cover milk and bread tomorrow.
7) Got some jobs done that I had been putting off - Ebayed a couple of tops and retrieved my boots from under the stairs and cleaned the mould off ready for polishing. No other shoes had been affected under there.
8) The rough draft came for the article about bigger son that should be in the local magazine in December.
9) Watched Ambulance which is always sad but engrossing.14 -
