Wow Tripmeup - an industrious day. I just managed a dog walk this morning and a craft course this afternoon - good fun - and this evening I am so pleased to report that the pup has no problems with fireworks! She hardly notices - but then she is supposed to be a gun dog and it would have been a total disgrace if she was scared of loud explosions!

That is a coincidence our springer is called Rosie and doesnt turn a hair at fireworks niether does our Jack russell Danny. Maybe they are both going deaf, though i doubt it, they can hear my Kit kat being opened 100 yards away.

Poor scared dogs and happy dogs. Our red dog hates fireworks, he thinks it's thunder! Big wuss he is. he hears a gunshot, he thinks it's thunder. Gawd knows what he'd do if he heard a sheep f@rt!

G4 I read your comment about red in hand 4 times and couldn't work out what veg you were planting or harvesting! I must be exhausted, because I have red in glass and still didn't click!

Tis all hard work and worry this w/e getting the floatwary nag to showjumping clinic, keeping teenage daughter at clinic, and trying to get floatway nag home from clinic. My lucky star must have been out as a great horseman walked by when we were trying to get The Impossible Spot onto the float. After he waved his jacket at the horse (who promptly jumped on top of me) he loaded the horse for me. You know, I have to do it. When I can, but it's been a long w/e and I don't think I can cope with everyone's ideas of how I should be doing it.

Stop press: I'm on hols for a week! Totally broke. Totally in debt. Totally got the electricity bill coming up. But daughter and I are going to Sydney for one day at the horse show, will see the showjumping finals (she may be over sj after this w/e tho) and to see my demented stepmother, and maybe a shop if daughter gets paid before we go. Paperwork and mowing to do before we go tho.
And I should probably tell the school she has a family emergency as well.

Evening Feral, enjoy your day with Sydney.....................just thought I would pop on and wish everyone else a happy Sunday before I go to my nest. The Boom Boom music has finally finished.......so with that, I'll bid you all a good night & hope I can get up in time for Tim & Joe

[veggiechicken]

Good Day everyone.
Good luck to Feral and family - I read it that the horseman had jumped on you..........,
Sweet dreams to BM who is going to need a lot of beauty sleep to catch up on a lost night. Don't like to rub salt into an open wound but, it was so peaceful here last night, no fireworks worth mentioning, the wind dropped and I slept like a log. Just woken up in fact Oh and the sun is shining and the sky is blue.
Do listen to Tim and Joe because...........you just never know what you might hear
Have a peaceful day

[Bigmallly]

Hello, it's me again. I managed to get a half hour. I don't need a lot of beauty sleep....................gonna grab a coffee & settle down.

[veggiechicken]

They do say that you can't improve on perfection BM
Just another of my little sayings

Morning the rains gone and the suns out so I'll be able to do the pheasants outside instead of messing up the kitchen. a couple will go in the freezer then its pheasant and mushroom pie for tea.

We didn't hear hardly any fireworks last night I think it was the noise of the wind and things banging around the yard that drown it out though. Bonus is there lots of leaves to gather

Feral it must be frustrating with folks telling you how to handle Spot its easy for them they have their say then walk off they don't have to have the constant battle. so trying to get inside his head. So enjoy your week off and the horse show.

Loving your new avatar VC

[Feral007]

Thanks Bren, it is annoying. I know they're trying to help but when you've already tried it...
VC, I was going to clarify who jumped on me, but thought it might improve my profile if I didn't

Daughter and I are not snarky with each other, but too tired to be friends right now - ah the joys of parenthood.

BTW there's no catfood.

Morning All.....It's a lovely but breezy (see downright windy) day out there.

Sadly, I am not fit to enjoy it - quite yet.

Neighbourhood fireworks didn't stop 'til gone three this morning. There were some very inebriated people setting huge rockets off at passing cars and the police really don't care; my elderly neighbour was terrified after one hit her bedroom window (bungalow, bedrooms at front) and we were worried about the missing cat and the brand new car on the drive. Thankfully no damage was done....but there will probably be a repeat performance this evening. My catflap is already locked......that bit will not be repeated.

Coffee?

Happy Diwali all! Hope you have a lovely day. Tis school work Sunday for me. Stressing over an observed RE lesson. Mama H has already made onion bhajis mix and chick peas for Diwali tea.

Please make sure all pooches and puppies are okay; and that we check for hedgehogs. Bollywood Diwali being so close to what ma terms English Diwali is not going to be easy for them.

Seriously. I don't want to do this observed lesson planning.

Aaaaaaaarternooooon all. Happy Diwali, HH and family. Finally slept last night, after the ruddy fireworks finished. But, had to wake the Dogs to send 'em out for a pee before bed, so they weren't settled for a while. Managed to get a lie-in this morning, too. Bonus!

Hubby then decided to go to the shop for milk, as we'd just run out. Cam back half an hour later with a bag full of shopping, but guess what he forgot? I'm OK, we have cream, that's fine in coffee, but he drinks tea...

Pillock!

You lot OK?

Something tells me it wasnt fireworks.

[bearded bloke]

The lemons & limes for the G&T ????????????????

[veggiechicken]

Artnoon all.
Just popped down to neighbours for a bag of old newspapers and a natter in the sunshine. Just returned in time as its chucking it down - really really really chucking it down. Such a changeable day
Coffi..........?

[julesapple]

Am I too late for coffi? I'll put the machine on....

We were going to a firework display this evening, but we can't now - BH has wrenched his back and had to take diazepam to stop the spasming. He's zonked now. Gussie Muppet cat is zonked after his frightening night. The tide is due to bring high winds with it at 6pm, so the fireworks might might be cancelled anyway.

Ah, well. Such is life.

Coffee? Caramel latte?
