They have been showing those donkey cruelty  adverts on the telly again today.
Breaks my heart to see the state of those lovely animals.  
You can see in their faces they've given up on life.

Yes it has been perfect temperature for me too today, Alex.   No need for a cardi,  but not hot and sticky either.   It is  still a beautiful evening now as well.

My son and DIL came over this afternoon and we sat in the garden for a chat today.  
I had grown her some tomato plants and a few other things,  so she was pleased with them.

I suppose I should do a bit or ironing . . .  .   but Nah,  it'll wait.  

Quote from: Raven on Today at 12:17:58 PMThat tissue would'nt have lasted 5 minutes here. If it hit the deck it belonged to Dageus, he would have been off with it immediately. 

I've got a kleptomaniac here too, Raven.

Tonight I was eating my tea when I was aware of Gertie munching something in her basket.   
I assumed it was another bit of stick or plant label she'd collected from the garden,  so went to confiscate it before she got splinters in her throat.
When I looked,  Liffey's medicine syringe  was in 6 pieces!   I can only think it blew off the draining board because the back door was wide open and its been breezy all day. 

I remember getting my Mum one of these a few years back.  She was always pressing it, often late in the evening after dark,  and I was the only person who was registered to go to her. 
I often thought she did it out of devilment half the time!

I have given these quite a bit of thought for myself this last year, Scrumps,  especially with these horrid dizzy turns,    but when I enquired I found it a bit confusing with all the different types. 
I also thought the better ones with bells on were quite  expensive too.
I was thinking about one that covers the garden as well as indoors,  because I am outside quite a lot.
Even something like pegging the washing out you could fall,  so indoors alone wouldn't be much help would it.

What's yours like Scrumpy,  is yours indoors only,  or everywhere?

Qur'an 47:4  The verse states: "When you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike at their necks.

My next door neighbours a lovely Polish couple.

Evening all, been another lovely day here although a bit windy !  My friend came across so we've been putting the world to rights. 

When Mary sat up thinking in bed
She pondered on why she ever got wed
He was never home before half past two
He was playing around with a girl called Sue
Spending too much money, Mary saw red!


She changed the bank accounts into her name
Booked a nice holiday, somewhere in Spain
So when he'd gone out, she packed her bags
Clothes and money,  and 40 Fags

When Mary sat up thinking in bed
