Had a cheeky lie in this morning so we were out late for Rocky's morning walk. All the pre-work walkers had gone so we had the big field in Greenbank to ourselves and Rocky had lots of off-lead fun chasing his balls in the sunshine. Happy boi ❤️🌞

AND it's used up all my sellotape. Modern life is annoying. Wish we still had a local Jollyes - I could get all of Rocky's food there and I could take him with me. He used to love them giving him a treat at the counter.

I ordered 6 boxes of dog food for the month, as normal. Alas, 4 of them weren't what I ordered so I've just had to pack them up to be returned, supposed to be collected today. It took longer than I thought. I hope my packing is sturdy enough, I'm not a pro at such big boxes. Annoying! 🙄

I intend to make pancakes for tea, savoury AND sweet.

My left ear is blocked and it's rather discombobulating. I put some olive oil in it yesterday which has done bugger all so far. 👂

Out with Rocky, walking up a side street. Two lads putting up some scaffolding, one up high, the other passing him poles from the ground. High up man says "I might need a 21, I might put a fuckin' scragg on it or summit". I looked up and said "put a fuckin' scragg on it". Chuckles all round 🤣

Good morning. I'm only just catching up with the Buffy Sainte Marie scandal and I'm horrified. Don't have heroes or heroines! ☹️

What a beautiful morning. I'm going to make the most of today as the rain is back tomorrow 🌞

Good morning. Neeeeaaarly the weeeeeeekend....

Aaaaasaaand I have a full and complete fence - they plugged the last gap so we're all fenced in. We're definitely nearing the end of works now, hot damn, it's only taken 6 months!

The temporary scaffolding is down - we have daylight again! 😎

I may have overdone it a bit with the toasted foods, my guts aren't thanking me today. Will it stop me? Unlikely and I very much enjoyed a toasted sesame bagel with tahini for breakfast 😋

There's loads of scam bailiff messages going around atm too. Bastards.

I have just enjoyed the simple pleasure of homemade toast for the first time in yonkers. I treated myself to a toaster recently after using the grill for years to reduce clutter. Sometimes it's the little things, innit. Toast and marmite, where've you been all my life?

I'm still pinching myself after hearing Badenoch saying that some communities are better than others. WTactualF??? By the time I retire, they're just going to round us all up and shoot us, aren't they?

Rocky has had topside of beef for breakfast twice this week and I can't help feeling I'm creating a rod for my own back. He deserves it though.

Thank you. It never gets any easier, does it. Tu was with me for 16 1/2 years, it feels like the end of an era. She was one of a kind, as I'm sure Ollie was too.

Logged in to work but my brain was somewhere else so I'm taking the day off. Glad to have a manager that understands. Gonna take Rocky for a nice, long walk - the sun is out now too! (I'm still wearing extra socks though ❄️)

People already telling me to get another cat 🙄

Update: Rocky isn't knackered at all. He was just getting going and now wants MORE PLAY!

Ah, lucky you! And lucky birds - I hope you see some.

Definitely! It's pigging cold though!

Lovely morning walk today despite the cold. Rocky has seen his pals and had a big old play including some off lead time which is rare in Greenbank these days but the conditions were just right today. He's knackered now - happy tongue out Tuesday!

Lots more photos of Tu to come but this one made me smile. I think Rocky is a bit disturbed by me putting her in the ground, bless him. Cuddle therapy it is.

A very cheeky cat drinking from someone else's cup - her pink tongue is clearly visible as she laps up the contraband water

My beautiful girl is in the ground now. I couldn't face it in the end yesterday. Rocky came and held vigil as I placed her in and sang

"Dear friend, dear friend,
Let me tell you how I feel.
You have given me so much pleasure,
I love you so."

Thanks chuck ❤️

When the builders ask you not to flush the loo cos they're sorting the soil pipe out and you remember each time until you do a No 2 and suddenly go into autopilot... 🙊😳

Ouch, you take it easy!

Thanks Neil. Yes I did as I'm still very tender. Hope you're having a good day.

I'm working today. Thought it would be a good distraction but we'll see how the day goes. Morning.
