Please bring a lawnmower, shears, clippers. One downside of all the rain is that we have an almost tropical upsurge in foliage. My dog just got lost in the grass on our lawn, and I need a machette to get down to the bottom of my garden.

HAHAHAHAHA epic LOL!

You were lucky PB I found two japs in mine who didn't know the war was over.

But can they help cut the lawn?

Wait!

The wife just returned and has found a lost Maya temple under the Buddlia


Update At 8.10 local time, the citizens of Swavesey Cambridge have reported the sighting of a UFO. This is circular in shape and appears stationary in the sky to the East. The object is bright yellow and gives off heat and light. Parents have been asked to keep children indoors as there is a risk of radiation from this object.

It has begun!

Yes Bill Wringing out wet spaniel is fun, especially when you arrive in with aformentioned drenched animal and the phone goes.......by the time Morther or mother in law has finished the little sh.. has esconsed himself on bed/sofa (delete as applicable) and you wonder why you get wet backside when you sit/lie down...... and he's sitting with that inane grin only spaniels carry off. Still we wouldn't be without them!!!!

General rules of Spaniels:

Once master is safetly walking behind, leave him to catch up while setting forth to explore

What's the point of having a nose if you don't use it, so poke it in everything

The world is composed of smells, some of which should be cultivated, either by inhaling or transfer onto ones coat (when of a particularly odious variety: so far decomposing eel is ahead of decomposing seal)

While jumping into water is required at all times, better to find 'interesting' water: stagnant and slime covered is much valued.

Ones coat is very useful for storing items encountered on walks: twigs, leaves, thorns.

No self respecting spaniel will return home dry, the soggier the better; but to really please the master wait until indoors before giving yourself a good shake.

There are only two modes of existence: being out and about (see above) or disguising oneself as a rug - one that can also arrange itself wherever humans want to sit.

From British summer to the engrosing facts of raising Spaniels... ah well, it must be the effects from that UFO mentioned by Bill.

Sorry, went off topic, but then, the weather is effing off as well

Truck thermometer read 105 F yesterday... miserable.
