Our go to is Miss Congeliality

Gorgeous but definitely in the needs an experienced home category, definitely landed on his paws 🥰

I was toying with the idea of having a base in the area as the good dog friendly accommodation with outside space gets booked up very quickly and will only take full week bookings. It was the sort of thing that I would have wanted, but too many negatives.

There was a cabin in the woods for sale recently in the hills above Earlston which definitely had done up as a holiday let on our land now trying to sell it as a house vibe. I got excited for about a nanosecond then realised how poor the access was before all the other oh oh's barrelled in. Shame.

But seriously. We are back! Next week we start shooting #bbcghosts the movie! Huge excitement in the camp, lots of splendid people joining us.

Hope all goes well with the scan, and I have a confession, I liked that blue dress enough to go and buy it. A good mix and match for layering, ta 😃

I'm sitting in the back room now as dog and I have just come in but there's 4 extra on the radio in the kitchen next door so I can hear muffled voices while I read. The dog knows when I switch it off that I'm going out without her and she takes herself off to bed.

When I worked from home I needed radio 4 or 4extra on in the background. I'd always worked in open plan offices so when I was given my own office I swapped it to a meeting room and hot desked around the building so I didn't feel isolated. I might just be needy 😆😆

Ffs, before the caffeine hit, if you go to repost on your repost you can undo it.

Ah no you can only delete your own posts. You can undo a repost.

Yes, 3 little dots bottom right

When I did a training course at one of the Gude Dog offices they brought trainee dogs into the classroom with us for them to practice waiting quietly. It was hard not to interact with them, but we were allowed to get involved by being pedestrians on the mock up pavements outside.

Wow!

I paid for my covid booster last year, so am not opposed to paying for it, but it is a dental appointment's worth 😕. I've got a few more years to wait for the NHS but given the occurrence of dementia in my family, the teeth may have to wait.

Ooooo, definitely worth thinking about

Here's a timeline cleanse for you; my neighbor, mowing the wildflower roof of his house. He does this each fall to burst seed pods and resew the annuals to return in the spring.

😁😁😁 no worries, I'm right/left challenged and get horizontal and vertical confused so I would have to check a few times and do a switch so it would have come out in the wash. All hail the morning caffeine hit.

I'm lucky I get exposure to puppies through the Guide Dogs group, but since I also help out with behaviour training when they're going through monster phase, I get the reality check.

Thank you, that's definitely the consensus, I can make some best guesses based on that.

😄😄😄👍

Really useful, thank you. I always swatch, and alter the length of jumpers, so am used to using patterns as a guide. The more info the better my decision making.

No problem, I always swatch as I tend to knit loose and I've learned to check first. Vertical stretch is good as I'm tall, being smaller, not so good as it's quite fitted. All useful input, thank you.

I always assumed the gravel would come out as the scab fell off but nope, still there.

All of which is true. The benefit of throwing it out is that other people give me variables I hadn't thought of that I can fold into the mix and come up with a better idea of my options. Ultimately it will come down to feel, but based on an appreciation of the numbers.

All my knee scars including surgery from 40 years ago have moved around.
