What made you smile today?

You need to find out cos I might have a competitor in 'who owns the most shoes competition'

Nah, that was me exaggerating. I hope. She's not actually so much a shoe person as a clothes person. And an anything from the 1930's person. Her apartment is like Aladdin's magical cave.

But I think your friend can keep her crown because I doubt Nadine has over 40 pairs or so. Maybe.

Ah the competitor is me. I easily have 100 including boots, slippers, flip flips. I can keep my crown

Bear carries his food bowl around with him after meals, because who knows, an hour later, it might offer up a tiny morsel of meat ( and of course a flip flop for those emergency flip flop type situations)

This week I have gloss painted 8 doors on our landing - a real achievement for me. Not finished though as there will be the hall doors to paint next week when the walls are finished

Bloody hell! How many bedrooms do you have??

Spending the afternoon in my mam and dads garden yesterday has broken Rory. I put him to bed at 7 last night and he’s still asleep!! I’m never awake before him.

We have 5 - one is an office. There are 2 cupboard doors (storage and airing) and the bathroom door. There is an en suite door but that can wait for another time. I think all houses should be built with doors that don’t need painting!

Glad you got your afternoon out

I may have just spent $100 on an online shop for the dog...

Good on you, Bear. I'm forever having an emergency flip flop situation but don't have the foresight to have my flip flop handy. Your disaster preparedness will be of huge value to you and your mum in the future.

What did you get

 

[edzbird]

I consider myself very multi-lingual in British tongues, but I did learn a new (Scottish) one this week - "ginger". We were talking about the national drink, Irn Bru, at the time.

 

[MrChew]

What did you get

Lots of treats, a few treat dispensing toys and (less excitingly) some tick prevention chews.

On the "wee" thing, interestingly it seems to be a New Zealand thing. Always made me chuckle when I was asked "would you like a wee bag" at the supermarket on holidays...

While Mike was in hospital I went mad and had oak doors put in!

 

[Atemas]

had oak doors put in!

I’d love that but there are so many doors in this house, it would cost a fortune. It must be comforting to know you don‘t need to paint a door again.

My mum just messaged me to tell me that there's a special birthday in the family tomorrow. My great uncle turns 100!

Yup, but "Ginger" officially is ANY fizzy drink, so Irn Bru, Lemonade, Cola.....and is particularly a West coast of Scotland expression, very Weegie (=Glaswegian).

This was me yesterday, although it was closer to €200
I bought a couple of bags of kibble for training treats and four lickymats (the Playdate one) for giving them their meals on. Everything arrived at my door within four hours of ordering!

Up on the Moor again today, saw a couple with a Spaniel coming towards us, so veered off the track into the heather to let them pass at the appropriate distance, Joy in a nice Sit. I shouted 'Goodmorning ' to them and the man called back 'Hello! Have you managed to get my ball back from your dog yet?' It was Mr Hot and Sweaty, who was chasing Joy around last weekend! I had a ball in my pocket, so I said 'Well, as a matter of fact....' to which he replied 'No no, only joking! I'm glad I've seen you, I wanted to apologise for my behaviour. I was bang out of order, it was only a ball, for God's sake, I should never have chased your dog or shouted at her and the 'badly trained ' comment was uncalled for. ' I was amazed and pleased, I told him that I accepted his apology, and not to worry about it. He went on to say he thought it was his 'Lockdown meltdown moment ' and had been ashamed of himself ever since. I said he could consider himself completely forgiven and should forget about it now. I went on my way with a smile on my face. We can all be out of order at times.
