I clipped Mungos rear end yesterday he has so much hair you can't see but he get dreadful matts and doesn't like being groomed on his ' breeches ' so I clip and also cut out the matts

Any bits of clear paper I use as jotting paper.
So when I received a  Car insurance renewal reminder it too went to be used for jotting down stuff..
On clearing out all the bits of scrap paper my eyes went to the message underneath the words Car Insurance Renewal.
'We regularly review the types of risks we are willing to insure, and unfortunately some of your details no longer fall within our accepted criteria. We will therefore not be able to continue your policy cover from the renewal date shown above'... 

What !!!   I frantically searched the internet for another insurer..   What a carry on.. Lots of details were asked about the motor.. I had to sort through papers to find out information.. I phoned some mates asking who they were insured with.. What a carry on..
I then thought.. How dare my insurers , who I have been using for many years , just drop me..
 I phoned them.. ready for action.. How dare they do that.. I have never made a claim.. never had a ticket.. nor jumped a red light.. I admit that I can not do reverse parking .. but that's about it..
I said all this to the guy on the end of the phone.. A lovely guy .. He  informed me that my car was fully insured.. Automatic renewal accepted..
 Because of a computer error many people had been sent these letters..
He apologised .... Phew!!! the relief..

ps.. My lovely neighbour David 90 said. 'It's your age dear'

Yes, same here Scrumps.
It's gone on too long now,  hasn't it.


Just bathed my two pooches.  They were not amused, neither of them are speaking to me now.   
Out in the sunshine,  they were completely dry within about 5 mins.
I need to change the blade on my clippers and get started on the next part of the job now.

It is very quiet around this area when it comes to people looking down and out..
 I do notice .. especially in the Co-op.. people with bad teeth, or no teeth..

Ah,  that'll be too many Co-op biccies then.  

No apologies needed GrannyMac.. Just don't do it again.. 

Another heatwave here.. lasting through next week..

With all the extra people in the country now,  plus these scorching summers too,   they will very soon be regretting not building more reservoirs before now.

My guess is,  apart from the money they will have to find,  I reckon they will also soon realise that with all this frantic house building they're doing,   they will one day find  yet another housing estate has been stuck  right where they needed to dig.

They can't keep building, and building over all the countryside,   with no extra water supplies.
