    Our dogs have toy pigs that oink so even that is useful in a strange sort of way.  They love them so much I had to get new ones so now we have a hippo and a bear that oink.

    Our dog,long dead but still missed had a toy kangaroo. It was ger baby. Also, she could play with a balloon without bursting it until she wanted to.

    But in the last 10 days, while almost 900 people had been offered jobs, just 112 have agreed contracts to accept employment"

    Is it just me, or are the spammers getting gobby?
    The one on the moss in lawns [old] thread didn't like my response earlier.

    Face - bothered ?

    Regarding dogs with squeaky toys.  My cousin had a border collie and if he thought she had been on the phone too long he would toddle off and get one, then lay beside her making it squeak as much as possible.

    Weird goings on still happening in London. Working on my front garden, people passing by are saying hello

    It's hard to be grumpy about being sent a box of chocolates but one just arrived in the post from my mum. She sends me the same box several times a year and seems to have forgotten that I told her a while ago that I don't really like them. I would remind her but now I'd seem ungrateful. My wife seems happy enough with them so they won't go to waste.

     I’d be grateful for a bag of flour at the moment. Chocs would be a real luxury

    Have you not been shopping @Lyn or just been unable to get them?   Plenty here.

    OH is having a grump.  He's reading about plans in France for a post May 11th relaxation of lockdown.  More shops will open and schools will probably go back but vulnerable groups will be expected to stay confined for longer and that includes the 60+ age group.  Fine by me as all the patch group and our dance teacher are vulnerable but OH is dreaming of playing golf again.   Good job he's a lucky chap with an endless list of jobs to do in the garden..........
