Human

The Underpants Hammock

My friend Ruth enjoyed her time at the cottage.
The dogs were well behaved, polite and even helpful  ( smart arse bum lickers! ) and suddenly Albert presented himself as  her new best friend.....turncoats every one of them! 

 But It was busier than I expected she admitted yesterday much busier
I asked her to explain 
It turned out that the toing and froing of villagers caught her somewhat by surprise.
Village Elder Islwyn popped round for a few chats , Trendy Carol too, and Hattie popped around to collect Mary for a gentle walk seeing that shes pregnant.
Old Trev got a bit tongue tied after he had knocked on the kitchen window and found Ruth smiling at him and Mrs Trellis found the presence of a new lady at Bwthyn y llan  rather “intriguing” 
I await that fallout 
“ Will you be coming back to house sit again.?” I asked hopefully
“ Of course “ Ruth laughed “ I loved it ! “ 
Big sigh......

The last of my birthday gifts arrived yesterday too
My nephew sent me a photo of himself and his dog 
I love candid shots where you can almost hear the person photographed laughing and talking
And this photo captured just that 
A great gift.

Tonight I’m just pottering as I’m back on nights tomorrow
I know I’ve been  missed as Dorothy is shadowing me a little more than usual.
As , when I Sat on the loo for a very satisfying number two
Her head rested, quite neatly in the between knee hammock left by my underpants
Her eyes never leaving mine 


I will leave you with some more “ views from my window” competition
Please send more if you have them, they are a delight to view

Lucidity

Beau and Peep were bathed in the light of a gorgeous summer's morning on Saturday. It was 5am and with camera in hand,  I padded out upon our lawn in my bare feet. They have been out there for a long time now. The mother - Beau arrived from Nottingham in October 2011 and the lamb, Peep arrived at Christmastime in the same year. 

They have been no trouble and have often given momentary delight to visitors and tradespeople alike. "Oh! I thought they were real!" is a remark we have often heard which is something of an insult to Beau and Peep because they are real! I overheard them...

PEEP Mummy? What's a pandemic?
BEAU Shut up and keep eating the grass!
 
Soon after snapping these pictures, the sun arched higher and the shadows of houses and trees swept across the lawn till Beau and Peep were no longer bathed in that lucid morning light. The moment was gone.

Scrambled Eggs In Bloomsbury

 I've walked over 35 thousand steps in three days, subsequently I slept like a log in my lovely hotel bed. 

Keeping up the health thing I've just had a nice walk from Covent Garden through Bloomsbury and have just had scrambled eggs on ONE toast at the Tropea Cafe in Russell Square.

my next stop is Euston and home.

But I will sit here in the sun, sip my coffee and watch the dogs play in the park a little while longer
