About to phone for a delivery of coal when he drives in. "Just heading up the road, do you need any?".
Great timing.
480kg of coal and 160kg of slack all stocked up and ready to burn.

Good woman Grace.Have a creme egg to reward yourself.

My friend has a Newfie,a gentle giant (and I'm nervous around dogs) but every time I drive into the yard he plods over and puts his fronts paws on the car ,I know he's being friendly but I'm kind of obsessed with my car and the thought of him scratching the paint makes me so anxious....lovely lovely dog though.

My neighbour had a newfie years ago, and a little jrt female adopted us as her new family. The poor dopey Newfie used to wander down to us most days. The other two boy dogs didn’t mind at all, but the little female would be so aggressive, the size of her squaring up to the Newfie and him just standing there big as a horse but not a word out of him

lol! Eating CAKE actually but the creme eggs are there...

OUCH re the car..

It got complicated as if I went over the weight limit, they said UPS and a huge shipping fee... Also UPS would never find me on the island; has to be An Post. Lost too many parcels by using couriers

One in far less remote area got lost and dumped 2 boxes of wool in a field full of cows.. Luckily the farmer found them and knew me
THEN I realised that An Post there is free so I reduced the shipment and can reorder soon ..free shipping.. genius at work somewhere..

Exactly the same..never saw my wee dog so subdued before or since

You do know that Newfies are really.... bears....

Graces7 · 03-04-2018 1:03pm

Perfect ,New Home.. my wee girl is a medium size so has an ID crisis

Kitty6277 · 03-04-2018 3:09pm

I saw a Newfie on an episode of Supervet the other week, and oh my lord what a gorgeous dog. I've yet to have any real world experiences with them though

I love newfoundlands! the friendly giants.

This has brought back happy memories. I enjoyed the company of a Newfoundland many years ago. He was an absolute charm and used to pull a small cart of equipment for our project. His name was Jerome. Gentle giant.

Sephiroth_dude · 03-04-2018 4:30pm

We have an old ash tray on top of a crate outside in the back garden and it was filled with water and I just witnessed a wren washing itself in it

, it was splashing around going mad in it

A tent, sleeping bags, supplies and scientific equipment mostly.

The light, between the showers, is refreshing today. Colour is returning and the Primroses, wood anemones, and bluebells in my small woodland are thriving.

45 minutes left in the working day, and I'm browsing the web with a cuppa and an easter egg. If only every afternoon could be like this!

Graces7 · 03-04-2018 5:36pm

Peaceful early evening; rain on roof, critters fed and at rest. Work for my hands... a scatter of bright wools on my bed. Daffodls smiling gold.

Kitty6277 · 03-04-2018 7:43pm

Problem with my car turned out to only be a broken coil spring (caused by the state of the roads! :eek: ) All sorted and ready for tomorrow!

There seems to be a backlash against kitties lately, so for a change here are some piggies :P

Over 20 years ago a lying little bollocks friend of my cousin told the younger me that his dad had a computer that could access all the arcade games around in Ireland at the time, one of which i was particularly obsessed with.

The weirdly obsessive young me pestered and bargained and stalked this young guy to find the house where my obsession was held within.

There was always an excuse, always some bull****, the grail was never found.
Lying little turd and his random lying. I know now that such a system was not technically feasible at the time.

Tonight however it is.
And all I had to do, upon recalling this earlier bullsht fest, was search an arcade game emulator and now, at my finger tips I have my precious, my obsession, my grail.

Although I may not be arsed with it at this stage I played some arcade games anyway, on my 'all the arcade games in the world' machine, just to spite the little bollox, and to satisfy my inner child.

Trivial thing made me happy.

Lorelli! · 04-04-2018 7:29am

^^ that made me laugh

TH, I've been so busy the last few days which is grand but today I'm looking forward to taking it easy, doing everything nice and slow and not rushing. I'm gonna start by making a really good big breakfast.

I can enjoy them alive guilt free... Much more fun! Years ago I visited someone in an old folks home in deepest Cornwall and was greeted by a black Vietnamese pot bellied pig with tinsel round its neck .They are so intelligent and make great pets ( yes it was Christmas!)

One of my favourite places on God's earth was the Tradional Farms at Muckross in Killarney. Oh how I Miss that place.. Litters of newborn pigs, and tiny baby donkeys ..

The simple everyday pleasure of walking into the house to be met with a blast of warm air on a chilling morning.

Oh, and a warm smile from herself, of course.

KatW4 · 04-04-2018 12:33pm
