Got to Morrisons,hand sanitizer empty, upstairs into shop,also empty! Bloke I reported that to,was wearing his (surgical with nose clip!) Mask round his chin, he was talking to a couple of customers all over 70,he was saying he wouldn't have the jab, because it's made of Covid, they told him it's not,BUT the flu jab IS made of "live" flu. They all had their masks round their chins!!
My cousin had a border collie and he was the most intelligent dog I have ever met. He must have had best part of 40 toys (all with names) but if we told him to get a specific one he would always bring the right one back. It could be quite entertaining at times listening to the noises as various toys were dropped out of his toy box until he found the correct one.
KT53,this should be in the Reason to be Cheerful. Only Kong toys for my BC everything else chewed to shreds in a couple of minutes. She loves to play football,last ball lasted a year, current one about a minute
We inherited a ball that's designed for horses from my wife's aunt when she gave up her small holding. It's a massive reinforced rubber thing with a handle that's designed to withstand a horse playing with it. There's only about half of it left now but it's still our dog's favourite toy.
My in-laws reckon their collie is so smart that he acts stupid. He must be very very smart to appear to be that thick. I once saw him walk into a parked car. Real commitment to the act.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Oh dear, eyesight problems,my you last year started going under parked cars. This is at sovereign harbour Eastbourne,you have walkway/ cycle lane and a car park, some times the engines have been running have to grasp him quick and sometimes it's cars parked along on the road to the car park. It was as though he had developed a rubber tyre fetish
Our female unknown mix terrier type - looks like a Wheaten - is clever enough to go to training classes and behave perfectly, enough to be used for helping socialise naughty dogs, neglected rescues and puppies and/or show other owners how it's done. However, outside of class she obeys when it suits her and otherwise does as she sees fit. 14 now so not going to change.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I put my tomatoes out for an airing and some of the leaves got bleached. Not sure if it was the sun or the temperature. They're going to have to toughen up - bunch of wusses.😐
Please, please can Michelle Hussain ( sp ? ) - a frequent presenter on the Today programme on Radio 4 - speak more slowly ? I can hear her drawing breath but the pause is in the wrong place and any emphasis ,if intended, is completely lost. She has a beautiful voice but speaks so quickly that many of her sentences take time to decipher - by which time, she or her co presenter are already onto another subject. Nick Robinson is also beginning to follow suit. Not the only ones by any means - gabble seems to be the thing nowadays - perhaps "text" speak is becoming actual speech ? Whilst realising that broadcasting time is limited, perhaps forget the little "ads" which sneak in as well as the constant "it's now 5 minutes to 7 " and then "it's now 2 minutes to 7 " and use the time saved to provide the actual news items in terms which can be clearly heard and understood by most of us.Most people listening to this programme have an idea of the time -alarm clock, watch or WHY - there is IMO no need to waste time stating the time every few minutes. Surely if you are presenting News, it should at least be clear to your audience - otherwise what is the point ? I'm not in anyway advocating the return of the speech pattern of the early BBC - just suggesting that each word is slightly more spaced out - ie understandable. Wake up BBC - please Rant over
