Posted on March 15, 2012 by Gary

Two of the biggest reasons why I enjoy Breakfast on the BBC are Bill & Sian. They are like good friends every morning, accompanying my coffee and attempts at waking. A while ago, the BBC announced that they were moving … Continue reading →

Losing weight

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Gary

This morning I picked up Carmen. She was very heavy and it almost did my back in. This afternoon I picked her up and she was light as a feather. From butter ball to weightless. How is this possible? The … Continue reading →

Another long haul home

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Gary

Everything was almost back to normal today after our little jaunt up north. I walked Mirinda to the station and, to get things properly back to normal, I then took a bus to Frensham to pick up the poodles. As … Continue reading →

Following Linda’s advice

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Gary

The dogs went on holiday today. The usual city-break at Frensham kennel. It’ll be tripe and…well, tripe is more than enough. Since they were intent on going away, we decided it would be a grand idea to pop up to … Continue reading →

Scraping by

Posted on February 5, 2012 by Gary

We had about 2″ of snow last night. I know because I took a metal ruler out to the path this morning and measured it. Of course, the poodles went mad and Carmen spent far too long rolling in it. … Continue reading →

Go away and never come back!

Posted on January 31, 2012 by Gary

So, here’s a question for you: What have Tallulah Bankhead, Carol Channing, Minnie Driver and Justin Timberlake all have in common? Apart from being in films I mean. I’ll tell you later. Today was a great day! I went to … Continue reading →

Poodles -v- Swans

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Gary

It’s not exactly what you’d describe as the most evenly matched battle but then it wasn’t a match suggested by the swans. I’m pretty sure it was all Carmen’s idea and even Day-z was along for the ride. Clearly smarter … Continue reading →

My visit with Sandra

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Gary

Firstly, let me say that I’m getting a lot closer with my photograph of a crow in flight. This is the best of today’s efforts. I’m almost happy with it. The poodles quite expertly chased it into the air after … Continue reading →
