Today’s history nugget that I’ve just been reading about is Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James VI and brother of Charles I. She was married to the Elector of Palatine, their grandson became George I. I wish I could remember all this, I bet I will have forgotten by tomorrow !

I have risen!
Absolutely knackered. Christmas gig was exhausting. 4 hours playing, 2 of set up and dismantle, another 3 or 4 of mooching and waiting. Damn fine performance though.

Opposite where the old Coventry Rugby Club ground used to be. Apparently, it used to be a bit rough but it has a new young landlord who cleaned it up. We had a friendly waitress with a lovely Irish accent.It wasn't gourmet food but we were happy with it.
The pub was pretty quiet until Coventry scored, when a huge cheer went up from the bar.
I am dog sitting my niece's dog. I had to rebond with him on Friday. He had something happen to him which has made him extremely anxious and aggressive towards men that he doesn't know well. This developed in one day when he was left in a house with builders working in another room. We are convinced that they must have done something horrible to him while my niece had nipped out.
it took me 2 hours to get him to stop snapping and snarling at me!
He is a very muscular little terrier. A great dog when he trusts you but a nightmare now when he doesn't.
Bloody sick animal abusers.
Aaaargh, he leapt up and went for me...
... trying to lick my face! I think we are back to being pals.

Good morning all. Dog walking done, although the fields are very boggy today. It is quite warm out though and the sun is trying to break through the clouds.
MrsP put up the Christmas decorations yesterday, the dust has now settled so the vacuum cleaner has been worked hard this morning.
Now off to our friends place for lunch before Boris decrees that we can't meet up anymore.

Here is my new pal...

We very nearly bought a new narrow boat back in 2005. It was mid life crisis time and we were going to sell up, take pensions early, buy the boat and go continual cruising. We'd visited the boat builder several times, chosen the spec and were ready to order once we'd sold up.
We came sooo close to doing it!
Then I had the offer of a job transfer to Barnstaple...........and the rest is history.
I think it worked out well in the end!
