We're going to my brother's for Christmas this year and today I started my list of things to take. I seemed to remember stuffing some kongs and leaving them in the freezer last time we were there, so spent him a message asking if I actually had.
He sent a photo back of three frozen ones and a message that read 'three more kings than dogs at the moment ' (predictive text, presumably) So I replied 'King's? Be careful or next thing you'll be singing 'We three kongs'!'
He sent me back this:
'We three kongs of freezerland are
Rock solid hard and too cold by far
Tasting of chickin, great for lickin,
Peaceful dogs we are.
O dog of wonder, dog of light,
Dog with slightly imperfect sight,
Forward leading, still proceeding
Guide us with thy perfect snite (Ancient term for snout.)'

Which made me chuckle and wonder if perhaps he's started on the Christmas booze early!🤣

That is very clever and very amusing, well done to your brother 😄

Opened my bedroom curtains thismorning to look out on fog, murk and gloom, typical for this time of year here. 'Oh well', I thought, 'at least it's Solsice today, Hello, Solstice'. Just then there was a loud chattering from the tree outside the window.....Magpies. What's more, two of them, so two for Joy! It felt just as if as I was remembering Solstice, Joy said ' Excuse me, but I'm here too, you know', and so she is! Happy Solstice everyone!😊

We were just seeing friends off tonight when the Young Farmers were doing a festive tractor run through the village. I hadn’t heard this was happening so totally unexpected. The tractors (and there were many) were dressed up amazingly. (Photo not very good)

This happens every year here too. I didn't go this year as I had theatre tickets booked, but friends who went said the procession was unable to go along the valley bottom as usual,due to flooding, so they went up over the hills instead. It was a misty and murky night, the people who had gone to watch were on the tops, by the moor and said the sight of the tractors, all lit up emerging out of the valley was even more spectacular than usual. I wish I'd seen it!

Yesterday my dad took a little tumble off his mobility scooter taking a curb too sharp. This did NOT make me smile - in fact he about gave me a heart attack as he ended up on his back in the street.

However once we established he was unhurt and we just needed to figure out how to get him up off the asphalt, hilarity ensued because Carbón decided to ‘help’ by crawling on top of my dad and laying flat on most of Dad’s torso. This is what he does with me when he thinks I’m not feeling well (his version of a weighted blanket?) and clearly thought the same sort of emergency care was needed by my dad. Who then started to flounder around on the ground even more, trying to dislodge ‘helpful’ Carbon.

Dad did not appreciate Carbon’s efforts but I thought it was very sweet and clever of him. Plus the resulting laughter all around lightened the mood in an otherwise awkward situation.

Señor Carbón to the rescue! 🚑
