What made you smile today?

[Jen]

I love blood orange.. gin.

@Candy my OH gets blood oranges every week from a fruit market near us -they are so pretty, but I don't really like fruit!

Our local greengrocer had blood oranges in today, first time I've seen them in years! Aren't they beautiful?View attachment 24772

Depends on whether you have read the book Blood Orange or not.........

When I was trying to tag somebody in a post on Facebook earlier, I started typing her name and my predictive test made me giggle....
Her name is Karen Mc.....
As soon as I started typing the “Mc”, my phone tried to autocorrect it to McBiteyFace

Rory sang to me today. We'd been planting a rose and some lavender played and had fun. I sat on the bench he sat next to me pointed his nose at the sky and sang. Big woooooos yips and aawwoos. So strange he seemed happy so I just let him sing. Meanwhile Iver destroyed plant pots.

Just been watching the hilarious footage of my friends giant tortoise riding round on their robot hoover. They couldn't work out why it kept ending up in strange places, now they know. Trillion been playing strange tortoise games with it.

I haven't. Is it scary?

 

[Jacqui-S]

I haven't. Is it scary?

Not exactly. Think it was a Richard and Judy book. Bit of sex and domestic abuse/control. Couldn't possibly tell you the significance of the blood orange.

(Not the best quality fiction)

I hope you joined in? I love to howl with Jess, it's very therapeutic. And she actually holds a note, which sounds ridiculous but I swear is true. She looks at me and sings while I sing and stops when I stop and together we make a harmonious(ish) and happy howl. Brodie gets too excited and can't hold a note so just barks very quickly. He is very keen to participate, just can't quite figure out how it is done.

 

[SwampDonkey]

It wasn't quite howls it was more like warbling. I cuddled him and told him he was funny

I always join in with the dogs at work and they all look at me like I’m crazy (I’m not.... right?.....)

Perhaps I won't bother then! Still like blood oranges though.

Totally fine

 

[Candy]

Completely and utterly fine.

 

[HAH]

Totally fine. I sing with Kipper, he loves it

 

[Candy]

GGJ and I don't sing. I wish we did! We do lots of other lovely stuff together though, and we do laugh a lot.

 

[MrChew]

We chat to Chewie all the time and he grumbles and grizzles back. Usually he is saying "rub my ears..." Totally normal...

Last night Rowan was getting dressed for bed when he looked at me and said "mummy bootiful gwownup." He is the sweetest little demon child.

 

[Lab_adore]

Maxx is very vocal - from grunts to whines to almost talking noises and of course barking. He likes to sit on the mat in front of the kitchen bench while Steve is preparing dinner and Steve will say 'hellooooooo Maxx' and Maxx will give a rhow rhow rhow type noise back. Total communication and it is so cute.

Xena had an amazing case of the zoomies this morning after I got her breakfast ready. Grabbed my slipper, did the slipper zoomies around the room complete with this incredible little bounce, like a gazelle. I think it's called sproinking? Well she just sproinked and sproinked and sproinked, it was so cute! Then we went outside so that I could sprinkle her kibble over the lawn and she did more zoomies. Great way to start a Friday!

AND I've had a great first week of term, which is such a relief after the absolute disaster that was term 1. Kids were primarily great, the department was organised, I knew what I had to do and when...couldn't have asked for more.

Good news @Xena Dog Princess x
