A clean hansom boy.
Hello everyone, I hope you're all feeling okay.
Thanks for all your thoughts with regard to the insurance carry on, I will tell you I'm not down hearted about it and merely mention it as an observation. I'm sure one day they will finally get everything sorted out. Thankfully we are no longer struggling to make ends meet as the tenant we have in our house is now paying the rent and also we did get one pay out from the insurance.
HORIZON made a comment about getting a new dog, Have you seen the new pups they have at Wiccaweys? Take a look [Here] if you haven't, save one for me though - in fact I may have two... or three ha ha! Also while you're there - assuming you're like me and can't resist a peek - take a look at Mack who I featured in one of my previous posts - by the way did I tell you I want Mack as well!! Anyway if you want to cut to the chase and catch right up with Mack click [Here] Doesn't he look a nice clean hansom boy after his bath?
I know you shouldn't pick a dog on looks but just for fun which one would you go for? I quite like Annie but she would need to like attaching herself to my left as I already have a dog attached to my right. Benny and Joon are lovely too but I would feel bad about splitting them up so you know what that would mean! Then there is daisy, how could you resist daisy? Look at those eyes! How would you choose? I gotta stop lookin at that site lol!
Today I managed to locate a couple of trees that were missing from the main order that I made the other week, I placed the order over the telephone and the guy said they should be with us next week. The trees I ordered today are Cupressus sempervirens Stricta They are very narrow growing conifers, you often see them growing in Italian gardens
I took these pictures for you today as I haven't really shown you what is in flower in the gardens for a while. These are a dwarf Iris which act similar to Crocus in that they die back in time, they are only in evidence for a few months of the year unlike normal Iris which have foliage even when there is no flower to be seen. These are very delicate in appearance and a welcome treat for a grey February day.

Be careful what you wish for.
AN Aussie truckie walks into an outback cafe with a full-grown emu behind him.
The waitress asks them for their orders.
The truckie says, 'A hamburger, chips and a coke,' and turns to the emu, 'What's yours?'
'Sounds great, I'll have the same,' says the emu.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order 'That will be $9.40 please,' and he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change and pays.
The next day, the man and the emu come again and he says, 'A hamburger, chips and a coke.'
The emu says, ' Sounds great, I'll have the same.'
Again the truckie reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter again. 'The usual?' asks the waitress.
'No, it's Friday night, so I'll have a steak, baked potato and a salad,' says the man..
' Same for me,' says the emu.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, 'That will be $32.62.'
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. 'Excuse me mate, how do you manage to always pull the exact change from your pocket every time?'
'Well, love' says the truckie, 'a few years ago, I was cleaning out the back shed, and found an old lamp. When I cleaned it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.'
'That's brilliant!' says the waitress. 'Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want, for as long as you live!'
'That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there.' says the man.
Still curious the waitress asks, 'What's with the bloody emu?'
The truckie pauses, sighs, and answers, 'My second wish was for a tall bird with a big arse and long legs, who agrees with everything I say.
The waitress asks them for their orders.

A walk in the forest.

How Times Change.
This weekend me and Tom are visiting home, we arrived last night (Friday) and will leave on Sunday some time.
It’s always good to come here if for no other reason than one if forced to take it easy as all the usual things that take up your time are missing. There was a time not so long ago when my mobile phone didn’t even get a signal here so usually the days are spent reading and talking and of course taking Tommy for a walk. Today we went for a walk in the forest not far from where I first discovered lying in the grass by the side of the road. I don’t think he remembers anything about that anymore instead he concentrates on all the new sniffs which seem to be different to the ones where we live now.
There was a time not so long ago when Tommy would go crazy when passing other dogs so there was quite a rewarding moment today when we met someone with three dogs all off their leads one of whom instantly set about Tommy jumping on him and barking but apart from a low growl Tommy ignored it even though I could tell he was busting to sort it out. So I was really proud of him and how far he’s come since I found him five years ago.
