mea culpa Jan t'was I who spoke about Labradors as they're always hungry just like Honey Beagle and the 2 we had on the farm, Jess & Caleb (despite being regularly wormed) were too but as working dogs, were trained not to steal (but it was always in their minds, I could tell!) 
You drunken lot 
and me without a drop to me name 
Mamissimo be careful what you wish for, excitement comes in many forms 
such as falling down a hole someone dug for an apple tree !
Long ago, I had a friend who bought a portable gazebo, the kind which just clicks into place instantly, has spikes for legs and forms a canopy. Under this she did her gardening in the rain moving it on as necessary.
Sadly, the YouTube link for unsticking doesn't work for me either but it was a kindly thought, thankyou 
Doodle I'm one of those who likes to look at a winter wonderland but sincerely hopes she never sees a single flake ever again. Snow is within easy reach here but I wouldn't dream of reaching for it. 
Dissectologist wasn't my idea, I posted it just after I'd learned it meant a jigsawyer/jigger/jigsawist/mad person.
I guess it makes sense, the pictures are in pieces, or dissected.
Went out to lunch with Hanna today: utter disaster. If I live to be 150 I shall never understand that woman.
Grammaretto meala-naidheachd. Tha mi an dòchas gu bheil thu soirbheachail.

Doodle my DB married his Danish gf and has lived there for 40 yrs and I am sorry to say I never learned the language. He did and speaks like a native. It is a very hard language.
The Gaelic will be on zoom and she promises it's sutable for beginners. We have a Gaelic TV channel too and I can always ask my 5yr old DGD for help.
Hoping all lobstars get a good night's sleep.
I am also slightly tipsy Doodle . There was still wine in the bottle
MiL had her vaccine part 1 today. The next one is not until April.
I went for my daily walk but it was deep slush along the river and I felt sorry for all the little cold dogs.
I don't have any pets at all now but 2 of our DS have little puppies and DD is threatening to get one too. They want a deerhound. (like a long coated greyhound)
I have signed up to learn Gaelic! DGD gets taught at school and I thought it would be fun to be able to discuss it with her let her make fun of me and then I'll be able to knit and listen to the Gaelic TV without the subtitles. in my dreams
Great that you had your vaccine Jan. Things are happening!
See you later, Lobstars.
Grammaretto my DGD’s other grandfather died when she was 8 months old. My DIL talks about him a lot and what they did together in those 8 short months. I hope your DGD is reminded of her comments about going up and down on her grandfathers bed and anything else that she might remember.
Excuse a slightly tipsy Doodle. I’ve had a busy day today, cleaning the kitchen, cleaning DH ?, more accounts. Sorting out the rubbish. I decided to have an extra glass and relax. ?
Jan sorry to hear about your DH. Hope the biopsy results are fine.
We had a new kitchen installed in our flat about 6 years ago. DH designed the layout and did a good job, we are pleased with it. It’s not huge and I can dry up and stack things in the cupboards by spinning on one foot but it works for us ?
Jan I could be wrong but I think Honey beagle is a beagle not a Labrador.?. I agree our pets are very precious and I still miss ours after not having had a dog for many years. Not allowed now we are living in a flat but we did have lots of fun with them at the time. We have two granddogs now so get our doggy fix when we are allowed to visit,
It’s surprising how many of the lockdown gang do jigsaws (sorry I can’t remember or spell Kaimoana’s posh word)
cherry just seeing your name brightens the day. Lovely to read your posts. Sticky key thing. Oh dear. Not been eating your breakfast over the keyboard have you?
Mamissimo I got confused for a minute when you said you had a mini before Honey beagle. Firstly I thought mini car, then I thought Minnie as in Nortsat’s cat and finally I caught onto schnauzer (too much vino) ?. Oh I love your doggy tales (or should that be tails). Fancy eating 3 Cornish pasties in one sitting. Oranges and Stilton. Wow that is some combination.
Our dogs loved peanuts (in one end out the other 
)
Oh I love your humour. I didn’t get it until you wrote Donkey Oaty. Wonderful
Thank you for letting me know about the painting programme Mamissimo I do like those. I will have a look.
Kaimoana dissectologist that’s the word. Sound like it should be some kind of forensics expert.
Glad your stove got fixed. Hope there are no more accidents.
Glad you’re pleased with your duvet cover. I thought it looked nice too.
Grammaretto sorry about your sleepless night. A lot to think over in your mind I imagine. I hate it when people phone at night, it always makes my heart race. Really annoying it happened 3 times.
Do you like winter wonderland? I do, but I know many people hate the snow. I like the quiet that the snow brings when it lays thick in the ground. Hope you have enough supplies in and don’t need to venture out in it.
Missedout I think I would have thrown it out by now. I like the way you’ve organised the pieces by shape. I wouldn’t have the patience.
Hope the panaches are ok. Cherry I was going to say I hope you haven’t become un stuck but I think I mean the opposite,
Dragonfly hope you are ok too.
Take care all.
Missedout
When I enlarged your jigsaw picture I was sent many similar pictures according to Pinterest.
How about this?
Hello Lobsters, I had to enter the ongoing dissectologists competition with this little number! It's growing at the rate of 2-3 pieces a day (each piece has to be turned over as well when trying to work out if it will fit). DS is getting a lot of abuse from us for his thoughtful present.
It's just soggy and grey where I am.
Mamissimo Have you ever listened to 'Nature Table' with Sue Perkins?
One contributor ordered 20 trees but can't plant them because there are family pets buried on the land - and they can't remember where!
These bodies include 6 dogs, a donkey, a Shetland pony and numerous gerbils, rabbits and cats.
I think they may have to get on a geophys team
The electrician came today and fixed the stove top. I now have 4 elements instead of just one. Magic.
Cherry I have just one sticky key which drives me MAD. It's the backspace and if I want to get rid of one letter, it sometimes races back at a rate of knots and has deleted a paragraph before I've had chance to stop it - which I can only do by bashing at the keyboard like the PG Tips chimp playing the piano.
I took the key off, shaved it because it looked as if it was catching on the housing but it still didn't help. I think now it's a fault in the chip of the motherboard.
Jan16 Take advantage of your damp, miserable days by staying cosy, reading a good book and making yourself a lovely, warming pot of soup.
My duvet cover arrived, it's very pretty.
Jigsaws I've just been watching an experienced dissectologist saying jigsaw manufacturers often add extra pieces "for fun" especially to the very tricky transparent ones. Beware.
