I've been out in the lane at the end of my garden today doing my weekly blackberry bush prune and sweeping up a few leaves.
Hidden amongst the bushes I found some branches off my shrubs.:(
Guess who has been snapping and chopping them off then hiding them?
Still no sign or news from PO.
I don't like to pester her as I know they are busy with more important things but think I will have to ring her.

:( I think it would be fair to give her a call now.

It was so traumatic for her and exhausting for me, that I after I ran errands, I came home and took a nap.

Poor Misty. She's just so very traumatized by going in the truck. She was a bit nervous and shaky in the vet office, but the truck ride was horrible. It took my daughter and I about 10 minutes to manhandle her up inside, then the whole way there she was trying to crowd behind me (the driver). Then in the office, she was shaking and panting.

The vet asked how long the lump had been on her side, and I said I had only noticed it a couple days ago. That really isn't a good answer because it may have been there weeks or months????? Anyway, he said just to watch it and if it grows fast it's not a fatty tumor and he can remove it (if I want). If it is a fatty tumor, it doesn't do any harm to just leave it there.

Then another traumatizing trip in the truck home. Poor doggy.

I’m sure it was as traumatizing for you, if not more. :( Hope you both recover soon. Can I offer you some herbal tea — or something stronger?

Good mornooning, roommates! We had a bit of rain last night. More coming later today. It’s currently very windy, so no trip to the woods. We wanted to sail on one of those reconstructed Viking ships this weekend. I guess doing it in windy and rainy weather would be quite appropriate... :eek:

Oh dear. Our favourite part of France has been badly hit by storms. Gard, Ardèche and Drôme departments (departments are like counties) are particularly badly hit and that’s where we go, and have gone, every summer :(

France floods: 1,600 evacuated, German missing at campsite - BBC News
It's all or nothing with this rain isn't it?
Why can't it just fall regularly but in moderation and preferably at night.
It's rained all night and day here so far but nothing too heavy.

Pics after the haircut — or is that too much to hope for? :)
Nope, sorry - you'll not see pics of me on internet - unless on the Crimewatch website!
I am very camera shy, and also can't do selfies on my ancient phone with a broken lens.
Hair is nothing special just a layered style that needs minimum fuss.

Good afternoon/morning CDRers.
Hope you are all having a good Weekend Eve.
The land is having a good soaking today which it needs.

Lola has taken a step backwards today - and I don't mean he's been moonwalking like Michael Jackson.:)
He stayed in his hide today until I got him up and then refused to come out of his shell even in his soak.
He is wandering now but hasn't eaten anything yet .:(
I hope he isn't having a relapse!
Maybe it's something to do with the rain and sudden drop in temps.

Waiting to hear from a friend about a trip to our Eisteddfod so I'll say TTFN and go and get organised.

Does the visit to the Eisteddfod depend on the result of your visit to the hairdressers'?
Not really - if it's a bad cut I will just put a bag over my head and still go.
They'll think I'm a druid!:)

Oh man. . . I wish I had that type of will power. I'm looking like I'm 7 months pregnant. I just love food too much to leave it alone.
It's not will power.
I just forget to eat.
Get focussed on something and don't notice the passing of the hours.
If it were will power, i would fail. :rolleyes:

Good morning all. Apparently it is Friday, but my brain isn’t so sure. I have flitted around too much in the last few days!

I have things to do, but need to remember what they are!
Good afternoon, Linda! :)
I had to look at the calendar to check it was Friday.
It's very confusing, sometimes. :confused:

Something we saw in, ahem, specialized shops in Ottawa:

Good afternoon, Lena! :)
Morocco, of course is the chief supplier for the European market.
Many people grin and suggest that's why I live here, especially when I tell them I've stayed with friends a couple of times in Ketama, the centre of the region responsible for cultivating the stuff.
But it's not true, I never touch it, not for decades.
Not due to an overwhelming sense of morality or upholding the law, I just really don't like it.
