Bits of this and bits of that; musings on photography and jewellery and old things; human to two whippets; accidentally stylish.

Got to be something that folds up small to fit in the caravan so probably another Whippet. Sandy was a Greyhound Lurcher and brain signals had problems reaching his far end so he always stood in the way! Borzoi are just long-haired giraffes.

Had a fantastic morning at Victoria Mill in Congleton yesterday, bagged a few bargains and had a super lunch in the restaurant too.
Definitely on my β€˜go back again’ list if only to buy the things I couldn’t carry yesterday (and have another lunch)…

Sod’s Law in action.
Whenever any meteorological or celestial event is forecast I can almost guarantee it will rain or there’ll be 10/10 cloud cover.

It just gets even better - not!
Presumably the difference is a conversion fee

In which case there should be an inquiry into why there won’t be an inquiry πŸ€”

Build-up of fluff in your orifice?
A quick blast of compressed air might do the trick.

Sounds about right

Well it faired up after lunch so we managed a quick bimble down the lane. Lola forensically examined every foot of the hedgerow and we saw our first Jay of the year.
Now watching the Winter Limpics why the little ones sleep.

Definitely free-range, but kept away from any eggage present

Yesterday was dry and sunny so Hoodad took us out twice. Today is back to cloud and rain so we are staying in our beds

I quitter after Lower Sixth too; after a couple of weeks working with my decorator neighbour I signed on to a 3-year apprenticeship with GPO telephones

Mine was the same; we could always dodge playing rugby by electing for a cross-country run.
At least we got to play cricket in summer.
