KWx

What a cute pinny gig.

Lovely pets for kids.

Our last one lived for eight years,try getting past one with a rustling carrier bag.....they will squeak their little heads off.

You gotta keep London for Noah.

Morning Christoph

Nice hammy - nicer car.

Beezer xx

Working.............

Mawnin guv'na!

How nervous do you think the "average" mechanic is, handling one of your supercar babies??? That's reet making me smile, that is!!

Hellloooooo London!!! How cute are you little fella!?!?

I've had a few hamsters in my time (Hagar, Hamish, Hamlet ... all RIP) but they don't last long and its painful when they leave for the big hamster wheel in the sky.

As it is, I believe mrssootycat is gonna outlive me by a country mile. She has the art of giving me the evils for no reason, even tho its me what feeds her and tickles her belly. Or is that Mr Deev ...?

Born to boogie, me!

Glad the book is making progress, I can't wait for publication date.

Penny xx

Another scorcher here today, guess I'll just have to pour a pimms and stick Wimblebum on. It's a hard life!!!

Beezer xxxx

Working.......

CLP

Welcome to London - mr bp used to keep gunnia pigs and wabbits as a child (the last one - Mr Tanis - went a couple of years ago) and he loves them - so much so we have never given our cats rabbit flavoured food

Gunnia pigs are agrophobic apparently!

Super bp x

Roll on Friday ay CLP....betcha cant wait.

Nice guinea piggy...aaahhhhh!! What does Noah make of it I wonders..??

Wimbledon last night was AMAZING...what a spectacle...go Andy go!

Penn...sounds good to me.....am not jealous today tho' as my girlie lunch date is just round the corner....mmmmm Pimms, perhaps...not sure..haha xx

No rain here Beez.

Its trying to be nice..just not hard enough tho'.

Not the 32c that I had to drive in y'day.

MTF.xx

MTF it is not just raining it is chucking it down - and all morning too. Bums - hope it clears up for my day off tomorrow although I have just checked and where I am going is sunny at mo.

Beezer xxx

Have forgotten what rain looks like!!!

Tis BEAUtiful here!

Sorry..

TBx

Humph !!!!! Tango

Beez xx

MTf - 32C? Me a 38DD!

Ha!!

I want some rain too. Reet muggy here.

Deevs

Yup, suns got his hat on here now,sorry Beez.

So, is it the guessing game for where you are going tomorrow??

MTF.xxx

Deevs you know I am in the DD club too.LOL.

MTF.xx

Deevs....blimey o riley..38dd :-)

haha...watch me get moderated now..

15 mins to go....

TBx

Diva - Norty Step!!!- actually quite nice here with KW !!! Quite cheeky aint he?

MTW obviously not west of here that's where the rain is coming from !!!

Deev it may have been raining all morning but it is still hot and muggy and I've still got Lenny the Lion hair!!

Beezer xxx

Baz - you can be excused in 15 minutes. Have fun in the sun.

Wotcha Christophe, and a little 'weeeep weeeep' etc for London. Am glad it has found a home being cuddled...if they ain't brung up right, apparently they can be ferocious little bs. It'll be a rabbit to keep it company next. The patter of tiny feet heh heh!!!

So, from New Guinea or worth a pound and a shilling???

Apart from the obvious sentimental value, a lot less than your car...

Not a Ferrari gal m'self, but if someone put the keys to one through my letter box, and said I could have it, I'm not gonna say no...

Anyhoo, have D Bowie, a Pink Lady and some strawzleberries to keep me amused...and an AWful lot of inputting...

no disassemble

Afternoon peeps - quick lunchtime blogette.
Ex-hubby had loads of guinea pigs when we got married, our's weren't agrophobic coz they used to run around the lawn in a little fenced off bit. They are born with fur and their eyes open so they look like mini versions of their parents, or indeed hamsters - of which my son had 4.

First was Houdini - so named coz he escaped from the box the petshop put him in, in about 5 seconds!, then there were Phil & Lil, named after the twins on Rugrats and finally Squeak - coz that was the noise she made when Adam dropped her as soon as we got her home!!

Also had a rabbit called Mitten (one white paw) and cats called Jaffa (little ginger chap) and Jelly and Blancmange - no idea why, Adam's choice!

Just a doggy, now, Honey.

Luv to all and catch you at home tonight,
ttfn, Crumpy xx

...have just got the pic of the biggest Guinea Pig House in the World wot hadn't downloaded before previous missive...and am hoping, frankly, that wee London is too much of a chubster to squeeze through them bars...else you're gonna have to chicken wire him in. Or make him wear a tag.

How big's the wheel?

or is that just Hampsters

..Crumpers, slightly worrying that most of your / his animals seem to be named after foodstuffs...

But then it's Dook's pets who I feel really sorry for. Try getting 1500 ducklings to sit up for their breakfast.

Haze - if you saw me (and him) you wouldn't be surprised at the naming! Sylphlike, we ain't. But there was fruit in there!

I am in awe of Dook! That much livestock is way more that I could handle!

C xx

Well first time in probably over a year I have checked the blog or commented! Back now though!

I would be a sucker for a new pet as well, would not be able to give it away!

I am heading off to see James Taylor in concert tonight in Manchester and I am crazy excited!

Em28

Coooeeee!!

Keith - just followed your link....amazing!

Good luck......have put my money where my mouth is....great cause.

Ladies - STOP IT!!!!

Chris - If you weren't such a bloody nice bloke - I think I would have to hate you....what a life....great to see you doing so much good with it.....

Dreading the 'can we have a Hamster/ Guinea pig/ Stick insect/ Wabbit etc etc question as we reach that age bracket.

Two cats are more than enough...thanks!

LOL

Gail.

Showing off!

On the plus side (excuse the pun), I have recently won, in the Daily Record, £300 worth of vouchers for figleaves to be spent on women's lingerie. Great Eh, when normally I have to save up to buy from Bravissimo.

Gail.

p.s. Love the Guinea Pig CLP, me thinks he will be staying.

Afternoon Everyone.

Hot ,humid and cloudy here . Rained hard early on.

Busy day ....... am tired from staying up to watch the tennis

Hey Keith, wishing you loads of luck, hope you get your pb.

CLP, you have just gotta keep London now, he is a cutie.

MCxxxx

Awww Dozymac!! How jealous am I?? I love figleaves - so much choice! Every colour and style under the sun.

Enjoy your spree, and if you need a hand ....

Aw what a lovely ickle rodent Christoff.

Trust me I'm an expert on rodents. In my time as a rubbish farmers' wife I've had many of the said creatures, in varying stages of life, dropped on me foot by an over-zealous Jack Russell; not to mention the happy hours I've spent chasin' a ratty interloper round me kitchen with the spatula and the lid of me best cheese plate in order to escort it back from whence it came, before the Father-Outlaw came in and dispatched it in a much less polite way with the fryin' pan.

And then there was Fanny the ferret. Testimony to the fact you should be careful what you wish for whilst drunk in the company of ferret-breeders who aren't.

Bless her, Fanny was very pretty but extremely smelly and reluctant to perform tricks other than squeezin' through very small holes in the skirtin' boards. Anyway I tried me best to re-habilitate her but I'm afraid she had to go after I caught her pole-dancin' up the budgie's cage and when remonstrated with (usin' a rolled-up Wigan Observer) she clamped on to me hand with the zesty enthusiasm of a Great White.

It wasn't her fault of course. She was just bein' a ferret and doin' what ferrets do. But a girl has to draw the line somewhere; and I'm not goin' out rattin' for ANYone.

Anyone want a budgie with Tourrette's by the way?

Clodagh.xx

Afternoon Chris et al,

Arh I love GP's used to have one years ago called Boffin, who happily shared a hutch with muffin the rabbit. You've got to keep him Chris - go on you know you want too.

Many years ago I used to work for a publisher (scientific, technical and medical) not quite as exciting as your type of books but I know the process well. I, like gingembre, will be buying it on day one and not waiting till Christmas.

Just wanted everyone to know that I am sat sitting on a brand new office chair - black leather and it's called Darcy. So Darc everytime I sit down I shall think of you.

Any news on Nicki-Noos, was thinking about her this morning.

Over and out

Hi Chris,

Nice pictures, the cute guinea pig, his/her house and the nice car - not sure which one I'd like most!!!

Looking forward to your book in October. I hope you don't have too much more work to do on it.

Chris, your blackberry seems to be very useful. glad you are managing to use it , a little bit!

Tash - What about a budgie???

Keith - I followed your link too. Good Luck for Sunday and yes you are an inspiration.

What a glorious day today.

Hope your news is not too troublesome.

Morning, afternoon everyone from a overcast and rainy upstate NY. It is supposed to be like this for the rest of the week. Hope you are all having a great day.....

Bondy, #51. Your ears must have been burning!!

Hi Penny, how are things with you?

Thanks for asking about thr interview. I think it went well..... I've thought that before and then nothing happens. Any way, I am hoping to hear back after the weekend on whether or not I get a second interview... fingers crossed....

You've definitely got another addition to the family there Chris - what a cutie!

Bondy - glad the you felt the interview went well and hope they don't keep you hanging on too long for an answer. Is it local to you?

Good luck for Sunday Keith and good on you for taking this on. My son had the same thing so , like Rips,I've put my money where my mouth is.

Ali - hope my namesake is comfortable, wouldn't like to give you backache!

Bingo - is this heat getting to you - take a siesta!!

Darce xx

Darce, you are most comfortable - thank you. Although a little sweaty on the old back, but I think that's the weather rather than you LOL xx

AliB

P.S. Fingers still crossed James, let's hope it's good news next week.

Afternoon bloggers,

Thank you for all of the good wishes for the triathlon I am doing on Sunday. I do not feel very inspirational at the moment as I have just returned from a punishing cycle ride at lunchtime. No pain no gain as they say. ;-(

I was very pleased with the way the article (link on the last blog) was written although a little embarrassed as I do not feel special for doing it at all. In fact I feel kind of bonkers for even taking part in it at all. ;-)

Rips and Darce, Bless you for your contributions. xx

Hazel, there is nothing wrong with my number on my vest and you well know that! For the record despite a request in writing and a stewards enquiry I have not been able to secure the number for this years event.I will be sporting the number 72.

Bingo, I thought I was the bonkers one! .LOL

Bondy, good luck for the job!

Keep smiling

Imagine this missive with a big coloured in first letter...too hot to think what they're called, but the sort of first letter that they start 'Once upon a time in a land'...etc and the O would be a big O.

Anyhoo. This one would start with a big N.

Noah was the son of Christophe, who had named him Noah because he would bring rest from toil on the land which God had cursed (Channel 4 or similar). In his five hundredth year Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth (for whom Grampa Christophe and Granma Tash bought many lovely toys and sweeties). When Noah was six hundred years old, God, saddened at the wickedness of mankind, decided to send a great deluge to destroy all life. But he saw that Noah was a righteous man, and instructed him to build an ark and gather himself and his family with every type of animal, particularly starting with a Guinea Pig. And so the Flood came, and all life was extinguished, except for those who were with Noah, "and the waters prevailed upon the earth for one-hundred and fifty days" until the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ferrari. There Noah built an altar to Dog (the first altar to Beth mentioned in the Bible) and made an offering. "And when the Lord smelled the pleasing odour of his nappy, the Lord said in his heart, 'I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the inclination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done. While the earth remains, seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease', and Heston Blumenthal shall forever create new recipes with which to inspire and amaze.

Then God spoke to Noah, and his descendants would henceforth be free to eat meat (because, like his father, Christophe, Noah was a bit of a Foodie), and the animals would fear man; (except when Tash was giving them cuddles) and in return, man was forbidden to eat "flesh with its life, that is, its blood." And God forbade murder, and gave a commandment: "Be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in it." And as a sign of His covenant, He set the rainbow in the sky, "the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth." And the Rainbow did land mightily in Brighton and San Francisco.

After the Flood, "Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard; and he drank of the wine. (again, taking after his father, Christophe)

Noah died 350 years after the Flood, at the age of 950,(so here's wishing you a good long life Christophe) the last of the immensely long-lived antediluvian Patriarchs. Antediluvian well, well, well...

Based roughly on Genesis. Not the Phil Collins type. More the chapters 6 - 9.

my work here is done

Think I'll go for a drive and cool off.

Pen xx

No AC needed here, I don't the temps supposed to be much above the mid 70s.... could use a dehumidifier with all the rain we're having...LOL

Why, thank you all. I do endeavour to give ultimate pleasure, and that is indeed what it says on my postcards which are conveniently placed in a telephone box near you.

Bondy, hope the noos is all good noos matey. Everything +d for you. Is most uncomfortable, but I'll cope.

Anyhoo, am off to the beach again WOO-HOO!!!

Definitely back at work for a rest Pen! They were very good but 5 days and 5 nights was very hard work. Enjoyed it though and the weather was brillant which helped.

Hi Bondy - best wishes and luck as ever.

Bingo - sounds like you're doing all you can for your Mum, that support alone will give her a boost and mean the world to her.....Good on you mate.

Rips

Thanks rips..... I have my "informational" interview rescheduled for the forth time to this Thursday...... I have even applied for some positions in the UK, no feedback from them as yet...... I wish the process didn't take so long..

Evenin' Rips.

Howsitgoin' in Cork? Have you sussed the accent yet? And have you palled up yet with anybody called Finbarr?

Marvellous.

Clodagh.xx

Hey Bondy,

It does seem to be taking forever doesn't it.
Excuse my ignorance and also if you've already covered it - but what is an 'infornational' meeting?

I work in a completely different industry where words like 'it' and 'if' are deemed difficult!

Rips

FH

And Bondy.

How frustrating. All will be well though. You'll see. Because yous is a top bloke I'm finkin'. Good for you, keep at it.

Clodagh.xx

Thanks Clodagh.

Rips, an informational interview is when you meet with a company representative in the hope that they may have a position in the future that may be a fit....... so you're not actually interviewing for a specific position... hope that makes sense....

Yo Clodagh,

I've just awoken from the lay down with a wet towel on me forehead that your earlier missive enforced.

I'm still a little wobbly.....

Cork is Grand as they say....probably the freindliest part of Ireland I've visited.

The guys working for us down here are from Margahfelt (or some such) near Belfast...and to be honest, that's proving to be more of an issue......

Today I've managed to work out that "Iadldee" actually means 'Aye that will do'...bonus!

No Finbarr's as of yet, and I've also got to find out where cousin Frank lives, like I promised me Mum.....but the draw of the hotel bar and nicely cooked slab of Beef
may mean that, that will have to wait until next week.

Did nip off early today though, and drove down to Kinslade and Sandy Cove....Oh for all town centres to be full of those sort of shops.....lovely!

Are still awake?

Rips

Just touting your wares then Bondy!

Worth touting I reckon, mate.

Rips
