What I did today! The next chapter!

kitty I hope your dd will recover quickly.
At least you will have lots of 'cuddle time'

Good Luck !I hope she gets better soon

We were woken at six by DD3's husband asking me to babysit while he took her back to the maternity unit ad she has a really high temperature. Just heard she has to stay in for between 2 and 5 days. Expect I'll be seeing a lit of poo, too.

Oh yes I go aound sniffing the breath of sea lions all the time.

Or had the poo of a seagull deposited on their person!

Of course not a fish Galen - "any fule" etc
But they eat fish and therefore will pong of it. As anyone who has ever smelled the breath of a sealion will attest.

A dead porpoise is probably likely to smell very fishy though.

Who said it was a fish?

Porpoise!

Propose is a mammal. Not fish!

He's kipped down with the Shetlands, as usual. They don't seem to mind the smell. If he still smells bad in the morning I'll take him out in the boat, push him overboard and get him to swim ashore, that should do the trick

I used to have a dog that enjoyed decomposing seagull, dogfish or sheep. eeeee I can conjure up those aromas now. They linger even if you go in the shower with the dog and waste scented toiletries on them. You just end up smelling yourself. I bet porpoise scored on size, fishiness and squishiness.
If anyone wants to know that dog's most revolting act they will have to PM me as it is not fair on those of a delicate disposition to put it on an open forum.

Let me go and have a sniff Nellie

Orca Does the one pong diminish or improve the other at all?

Should I PM her? mishap that is? Put her off her Easter Monday roast dinner?
Bags I haven't a clue. However just been to call him in for his dinner and the scent of porpoise is now overlaid with Shetland poo, and he has a smug look on his face.

Why do dogs do that?

Been doing some mowing of grass that was too wet to mow last autumn and which is now as dry as dust. [sneeze] Breezy and bright outside and nice to work in even though the temperature isn't very high.

Pssst...! Orca....don't tell Mishap. The stench of rotting porpoise corpse on hairy dog might send her over the edge. Beats fox poo hands down!

Took Bear for a swim today and when he came out of the water he shot off down the beach and started rolling on something......when I caught up with him it was a dead porpoise! The smell was unimaginable. I ordered him back into the sea but the smell followed him home and I've spent the last two hours bathing, brushing and semi-drying him. The smell is still lingering so he's been banished outside.

I am going to go shopping and try and find a replacement dress for GD2. She is three and I bought a dress for 6 year old and it still did not fit, her sister's 7/8 year old was better so I guess that's what size she will be getting.

Some happy family times for many of us. I hope those who were not able to be with family at Easter get a turn later in the year.

Today I am off to a garden centre with daughter and family..they are trying to do up their garden. It is very slopey so tricky to plant also has poor soil after many many years of neglect... not all theirs!

Oh you are lucky ariadne! Where I was born and my favourite place on the planet as well. Good choice but don't tell everybody.

Drove back from The Gower, where we stayed in a beautiful big holiday let with DS2 and family - the very sporty athletic ones! We walked and walked, on wonderful beaches and to rocky coves, where the two fearless little girls and their daddy climbed rocks, made dams and where the youngest eventually fell into a big rock pool...quick run with mummy (the ex heptathlete) back to the car.

What glorious weather too - very cold, but bright and sunny. I feel really invigorated. Did a Sainsbury's order on the way back, ready for DS1 and family who arrive tomorrow, so I will enjoy a moment's peace today!

DGD1 is doing her Assistant Sailing Instructor course this week, here in Devon. Better her than me, out on the water today.

Had lovely day yesterday lunch with 2 very goof friends made mistake eating or sharing Easter egg later mmmm felt quit ill! Tummy still not right!

Yippee today son visiting with partner and stepsons they just left but about 2 hour journey! Better get dressed!

Have good day all

Family Sunday lunch at our house with husband, youngest son, step daughter, 2 step granddaughters aged 20 and 17. Roast beef, followed by two puddings made yesterday Pavlova and Banoffe Pie. Feet up now, just finished box of chocolates from step daughter, have to get them out of the way before next 5.2 fasting day, so didn't have any choice they had to go! Half watching Foyle's War, whilst skimming newspapers and internet but waiting with interest for the following programme about the Bronte sisters having visited the parsonage where they grew up in Yorkshire quite recently.

A great day ej
