My niece has a Staffie and he normally goes demented when anybody visits. Not aggressive but jumping up and mouthing etc. I called in a couple of days ago and nearly fell over him as he was just standing beside me. Turns out he'd hurt his elbow or shoulder and was in full "I need sympathy" mode and was behaving as a normal well behaved dog. I phoned yesterday and apparently his shoulder/elbow is fine and he's demented again. I wish I could have the 'normal' dog again.
Don't you just hate it when that little voice in your head says "I did tell you." You know the old saying about fixing the roof while the sun shines? I have a wooden greenhouse in the last couple of hot summers some gaps have appeared in the joints between timbers. I meant to get up there in the summer with some mastic, I didn't, went down there yesterday, yes it's leaking.☹ My own fault entirely!! 😡
OH always leaves out a new loo roll when the old one is nearly finished, something he has always done. @pansyface how is your loo? any quirks? I'm thinking of getting one for our new extension, we are nearly at the plumbing stage now!
Thanks for the info @pansyface, we are looking to get a complete new loo with all the gizmos, really looking forward to it, does that sound rather weird -looking forward to a toilet!!
Dove,my old man gets out a new loo roll, and starts using it with a few sheets left on the old one,drives me nuts. Yes,he also leaves the roll on the floor. He came out with one today, said "what's this"! ,He found it on the bed, the border collie has a bit of a fettish, or maybe she's trying to help with the recycling!
@floralies - I was once taken to a very upmarket Japanese restaurant in Paris and the loos there were brilliant, with wash and dry facilities built in! My OH is very good with the loo paper - we order it in bulk from Who Gives a Crap which we store in the outhouse. He is very good at bringing in 2 or 3 rolls at a time (which we keep in a pot by the loo) and changing the roll when needed. I will often, when visiting other loos, turn the loo roll around if it is facing the wrong way.
Trying to think what I am feeling curmudgeonly about today. It is the weather. And being cross with myself for not getting up early enough. Though my 16 year old granddaughter tells me not to get cross with myself but to learn to forgive. Is she right?
Ooh - go for it @floralies. I would have thought the French would love them as they have the bidet built in! But perhaps the French prefer scooting from one to the other! And then a separate bidet is useful for feet/small child washing. Sadly my bathroom is too small for a bidet and my pockets not deep enough for a Japanese loo. But I do have a soft close toilet lid and that pleases me!

But there is M & E.
