I was about to book a cheap flight to Rome on Bank Holiday Monday when I thought I'd better check what my local busses were like. They didn't start until 07:00 and I would have needed to be at the airport for 06:00. A taxi would have cost me more than a flight!

That's annoying isn't it?

We were in the park in Whistler when a small Daschund brought a frisby and placed it at my feet. I threw the frisby and the little Dashhound chased and brought it back, placed it at my feet and barked. I threw it again and again and I havnt had so much fun for years and years.
I am now thinking of getting my very own Dashound. We fly home on Thursday.

While out dog walking last Sunday evening I passed my town's cricket club and saw a child running quickly across the grass with a tiny Dachshund chasing after him, with it's little legs going ten to the dozen as they say, barking like fury as it ran along! :smile:

The funniest thing at work is going into the loos, which triggers the lights to switch on automatically; and then i notice someone else is already in there.

How long have you been in that cubicle?

But . . . why are you trying to share a toilet cubicle? :-)

Whilst doing our midweek training net session with the local cricket club using a mobile net in the middle, another local who happens to be an ex-England player rocked up into the permanent net with his 2 young daughters so they could get some of his wisdom. The girls can't be more than 6 and 8 but they certainly have good form. They could probably debut for our 2nd XI this weekend already and not look out of place ^_^

We don't like them after a couple Daschunds attacked my Dad's dog (who's a Staffie no less). Poor Maisie!

Anyway, when out with Maisie one day in the park, a Spaniel (I think) suddenly turned up beside us with a frisbee in their mouth, wanting to play.
So, we got the frisbee and threw it for them, several times, with the owner appearing during that time.

Thing is, Maisie is a Tennis Ball girl and had no idea what to make of the frisbee, so just stood and watched, wanting to chase, but not, a bit confused (confused also that we were suddenly playing with another dog)! 🤣

I hate it when that happens, but on the other hand, I did work in a darkroom for a few years, so I don't mind a bit of darkness until I can trigger the light again or someone (like yourself) comes in.

Let me talk about the birds and the bees...
