  1. There was a clip on radio this morning of him saying, when asked about his legacy, "I don't suppose they'll think of me for owt, well maybe a 60 second clip of me thumping a bloke". Gordon Brown said his legacy would be, amongst other stuff, making Tony Blair appear palatable to working people which made me laugh, managed to stick the boot right in while giving JP's obituary!

  6. Guys it was a joke based on Trump's proclamation that... I'll stop the war in 24hrs of becoming the greatest leader the world will ever know. I'll just speak to Vlad, such a great guy, we'll make a deal and stop the war, easy, such an easy deal with a real great guy. Edit. I'm not entirely convinced by his claim as people in the know think Putin isn't so comfortable with Trump, he's too loose a cannon for Putin. Apparently Trump's unpredictability and habit of changing with the wind isn't easy for Putin to deal with. Also, there are far more than just 2 interested parties involved in decision making.
  7. It's a bit bittersweet stubby, she hasn't been herself lately and it was a relief to see her relax into her mum's lap, no more problems, but the hardest decision to make.

  9. We decided yesterday enough was enough for Cassie. She had a year longer than the 6mths she was expected to live but things were becoming a bit much for her, it was time. Woke up this morning for the first time in as long as I can remember without a dog in my life! Really hoped she'd see her 14th birthday in a week or so but not to be. Wee Poppes...

  13. Morning all. Not feeling the joy this morning, spent yesterday helping someone reduce a horrible beech hedge by 7m in height. I keep thinking "no" to these things but still hear myself saying "yes". Not just a numpty but a sore one! Bit pissed with the vet at the moment as well. Wee Poppes has had trouble breathing, sneezing blood, not eating and signs of infection. First vet appointment we were told what we knew already, could be nasal polyps or fistula from dental infection. Try antibiotics. Week later with no change it's try running bloods. Result of that was the vet awkwardly delivering the news that she shows markers for cancer. Not surprising is it, given that they diagnosed and operated on her for a malignant tumor 18 months ago and they've been prescribing meds to manage it ever since! She then suggested a blocked anal gland, I had to explain again that it was unlikely as they had removed them several years ago. So we'll try a steroid injection and see what happens. Β£300 to regurgitate what's already on her record as fact leaves me with no confidence at all in this woman! Rant over, very cathartic. Have a good one folks.
