How they've grown

Twelve months ago I posted this photo of brother-in-law's eight week old Pyrenean Mountain dog puppies. So here they are now at fourteen months old

Communications

I am very pleased that the postal strikes have been called off. I'd been waiting for a letter, posted locally which took a week to arrive. I am none too pleased.

I was amused to read that Benny Hill was dumped from appearing on a set of stamps to commemorate 50 years of ITV as his jokes were "in direct opposition to the company's policies on harassment in the workplace". Instead they plumped for a picture of a front door to illustrate Rising Damp. Now, if memory serves me right, Rigsby was slightly racist to Philip! They don't make comedy series like these anymore.

I have been unsuccessfully trying to put this Free Mono Ringtone Benny Hill onto my mobile phone, but not sure what I am doing wrong. My Mac and phone are both Bluetooth enabled , recognise each other but I just can't transfer the ring tone. Will persevere. There is a character that my staff refer to as Benny, this man is also a buffoon in his chasing of women, not me I hastily add. Thought it was about time I had a change of ring tone.

I don't actually use my mobile phone very often, mine was given to me by my son, must be about five years ago. I am very happy with it and have no desire to have the latest phone. I only use mine if I am away from home and then it's a just a quick call to hubby to come and pick me up, usually from the hairdressers or train station. I can always be found either at work or at home.

I find it incredible that people nowadays will have a private phone conversation in very public places. Just call me old fashioned.

Poor moggies

We had a knock at the door last night and hubby's heart raced as he saw a policewoman standing there. The police patrol car was parked opposite. Did we have a black cat she wanted to know. Seems that as the patrol car had come around the corner it had run over the cat. She said her colleague was mortified. No, not our cat hubby told her and he didn't know who it belonged to.

Hubby had already told me that the cat that resided in his workplace had met with an accident with a forklift truck. So not a good day for two poor moggies.

There was some fundraising happening in town last week...

Halloween birthday

As birthdays go it's not been the greatest, a long hard day spent in the shop doing a major stocktake, so I left the opening of my cards and presents until this evening. I've had some lovely cards and messages, flowers and enough chocolates for me to gain at least a stone in weight!
Thank you all.

Happy halloween.

Time to eat the dogs?

I am not invincible

I apologise for my recent lack of posts. I have been so very tired.
My last day off from work was on the 28th September, the Monday following our week away.
I have been covering for "sickness" in my workplace since December of last year.
This week I have had my own reality check.
All I can say for now is:
I am not invincible.

Christmas fun

The Christmas light switch on will take place in our town on 19th November. It will coincide with Santa's arrival and celebrity entertainment in the form of:
