            ......but you have given a lovely old dog a new home when she needed it most. My karma arrived 3 years ago when the one dog I gave a home to turned into 6 One of whom had to separated from a blackbird that was in the raspberry tunnel this morning. Fortunately, the bird flew off and Ted was left with a mouthful of feathers. At times like this I wish I had a slow old dog.

                Yep, a 5.40 tiddle alert which had me happily (not) going to the bathroom knowing I would never get back to sleep.

                Other than than lovely gift Jay as I'm sure they will save your toes over and over again.

                And VC, yes an oldie is much slower but Freaky still has a go at running trouble is her knees give way (I know the feeling) or she pomps as she goes. Ah I so remember the is she isn't she puppy saga - Happy Days.

                    We didnt open any gifts yet.
                    Eldest grandsughter sings in the choir, so waiting for them all to come in from 12.30 mass.
                    Spoke to my two sisters on the phone while waiting.
                    My sister in London works for the police force so she is working today.
                    Other sister keeping next door neighbour company as she lost her husband recently.
                    You all have to do what you all have to do. Thats life.

                    And when your back stops aching,
                    And your hands begin to harden.
                    You will find yourself a partner,
                    In the glory of the garden.

                            Snadge...my Marans laid her first egg about that size a couple of weeks ago....very unusual time of the year to lay the first egg isn't it????...espesh for my Marans as they tend only to lay between March and September.
                            Ha!....love the name of 'fart egg' !
                            I can't bring myself to crack it open to see if there is a yolk in it....I doubt there is .....I presume is a full sized bantie egg?

                              The only surprise present I got was our lass!

                              Here me out!

                              Because of her condition with the fractured spine, they have fitted her with a brace, well a corset to be honest.

                              But did a "Double Take" on my arrival home on Tuesday!

                              Being an upward n forward support! and pretty well endowed in the upper regions anyway! Thought all my Christmases at come at once!

                              Right! Off for a shower! Being beckoned down the road for "Christmas Dinner!"
