Jack the Ripper never sponsored Saints*.

Draper did.

* As far as we all know

The dog has annoyed and amused in equal measure this morning. She’s an old gal now (around 15) and she has no fucks left to give.

While the cat is loyal to the first person downstairs that might get him cat food in the morning, the dog is loyal to the last sleeping human in the mornings.

Early start, so Gingora, the youngest and myself are all up and alert. The eldest was the last sleeping human, so accordingly, the dogs sidles over to my eldest’s bedroom door and starts scratching for entry.

I hear a vexed daughter telling the dog to go away. This goes on for around half an hour, with the daughter building multiple barricades outside her room to prevent the dog from scratching her door.

Dog didn’t give a fuck about that. Went through all the barricades, eventually got bored, last seen sauntering around the house looking for a spot to bury some stolen pizza from last night.

As I said, no fucks left to give. I actually quite admire her lifestyle.

I mentioned Mrs P_F & her BFF having been heading out & turned into what were once known as pikeys.
She found usefulbaskwts & potsforthegarden.she also found what she saw as a metal table base to go on our balcony. It needed a top making & was scruffy AF.
Last week has been cleaning it up & prepping it for some paint to be slapped on. I got to see it this morning when she asked me what colour paint to use.
I went. Whoa! I saw a logo o checked that it all moved. I googled.
It ain’t going on the balcony & a BIG restoration project has started!

She’s great…had her first grooming for about 3 months. She looked like a fluff ball this morning, this afternoon a skinny little runt. :slight_smile: Picture tomorrow.

We used to do conference calls with some American matey after he set up a meeting about Project Grooming. As soon as the invite hit my inbox, I message the guy and tell him that “grooming” may be heard differently with British English ears, and that he may wish to choose a different word.

He didn’t. Groom. Grooming. Groomer. Whipping them all out, with some very confused English people this side. It was only when he heard the crescendo of chuckles that he went beetroot and finally chose a different word.

Amyway, I think @WorzelScummage and @lifeintheslowlane are a bit mental putting dog pics up.

They’ll only end up being groomed on the Internet.

Again. The link hasn’t shown the Video clip
This time WIN Laptop on WiFi on Chrome

I’ll take your lockdown Pac-Man quip and raise you a Marcus Brigstocke.

If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in dark rooms , munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.
