Ah ha! I knew it! "Windsor" just doesn't cut the mustard for that pup.

I recorded the golden girls. I was only 25 when they first aired, I'm now at an age to 'get it'.
First episode brilliant.

 

[Candy]

This beautiful girl keeping an eye on the comings and goings on the towpath always makes me smile.

Is this your front, or back garden @Candy? Can you sit out there and watch canal life go by?

Our wildlife pond is now teaming with newts of all sizes , plus newt tadpoles and frog ones too . I had a look online about feeding newts , they usually manage to feed themselves on tiny insects but it mentioned about putting small pieces of raw meat into the pond ( you know where this is going dont you ?) . I keep a bag of frozen freeflo mined beef in the freezer so I chucked a few bits in , watched by Reubs . I then took the dogs out but the devil hadnt forgotten , back home he charged out there , struggling to reach some but he did eat most of it . I think maybe best if I put some in last thing at night from now on , but it did make me smile x

It's a strange, funny back to front house! It's clear that when it was built (1876) this was the front of the house. However at some stage it was split in two and an extra bit added on to the smaller part, which is now next door to me. A new front door was added on the other side of the house I live in and what was presumably the tradesmen's entrance was boarded up and now has my kitchen cupboards in front of it. So what was the back is now the front and vice versa. Oh, and yes! I can and frequently do sit and watch canal life go by! It's a particularly good thing to do under the current circumstances.

I can also watch out for friends going past and have shouted conversations with them!

 

[Candy]

It's one of the things keeping me sane at present!

@Candy everything about your house seems charming.

@Candy everything about your house seems charming.

It's a lovely house and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to live here. It has its own personality. Unfortunately it's quite a demanding personality, in that there is always something that needs doing to it. A bit like the Forth Bridge!

That’s houses for you! In many ways it’s lovely spending more time in mine now we’re in lockdown, but it’s frustrating seeing all the things that need doing!

I'm happy because Carbon and I made it out today and had a GOOD walk...first since the beginning of March

Thats great @Emily_Babbelhund I am glad you and Carbon enjoyed it.

Oh he is Jen, he really is!

 

[VanillaBean]

Being on a conference call and all I can here from the two girls behind me is them dreaming, growling and slightly barking. People on the call asking if all is OK. Of course it is just my work colleagues having a mid morning nap, I of course show them and they just laugh...

 

[Jen]

These 2. They’re exactly like brothers fighting over the same bloody toy

@Jen That video brings back a memory from 36 years ago of finding my baby son and springer spaniel behind the sofa sharing a rubber duck just like yours - taking it in turns to give it a chew! (if Penny got hold of anything she would hang on to it for grim death, except that she would hand things to the baby. Happy memories.)
